Earlier in the year, we shared our top quirky and romantic places to stay in the UK. Now, with the leaves falling and the temperature dropping, our perfect accommodation features warm beds, hearty breakfasts, open fires and all things cosy. These 9 luxurious hotels throughout the United Kingdom are on our list for our next cosy autumn adventure. 

The Pig Hotel in Bath

 

The philosophy at The PIG is one we love: they only use what they can grow or rear themselves or what they can source from within 25-miles. Their food is fantastic and their garden has a smoke house, a wildflower orchard, fruit cages, a greenhouse and buzzy beehives. Each of the rooms offered is beautifully decorated and a perfect place to indulge and relax.  

Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in Oxfordshire 

 

Tucked away in the picturesque countryside, the Le Manoir aux Ouat'Saisons  is a 15th-century manor that sets the standard for an autumn break. The honey-hued estate is warmed by open fires making it an a perfect spot to curl up and read a book. Don't forget to book a meal at the two Michelin star restaurant located at the hotel too.  

Gravetye Manor in Sussex

 

A delightful 17-bedroom manor, Grayetye Manor is an historic hotel surrounded by more than 1,000 acres of tranquil English countryside. From a delightful meal at the Michelin star restaurant to acres of mature gardens to explore, there's something for everyone to enjoy. 

The Horn of Plenty in Devon 

 

Situated halfway between Devon's North and South coastline, you won't be short of adventures when staying here. Those seeking an active break in autumn will find themselves spoilt for choice, with walking, cycling and mountain biking on offer. Or, if you'd prefer a more relaxing jaunt, you can wander the hotels five acres of private gardens and orchards.

Fonab Castle is nestled in the heart of Perthshire in Scotland. Built in the 19th Century the castle was completely refurbished in 2013. This luxurious hotel is within walking distance of the quaint highland village of Pitlochry and offers an award-winning restaurant.

Heckfield Place in Hampshire

 

438 acres surround this country haven in Hampshire, UK. Heckfield Place has been sculpted over centuries by ancient heather, woodland, gardens and meadows allowing it to be perfect retreat all year long but autumn especially makes the estate shine. What was once a family home has been lovingly restored from its classical origins and rewoven into a luxury hotel.

The scene is set from the moment you turn into the driveway of Lucknam Park. This graciously restored Palladian mansion is enveloped within its classical gardens, extensive parkland and paddocks. This is a relaxed elegance of the quintessential English mansion. You will be able to truly unwind and escape from the pressure of life. 

The Montagu Arms Hotel in New Forest 

 

Escape to a quiet corner of The New Forest at The Montagu Arms Hotel. Sleep in an elegant country house hotel with its timeless English garden and you may even notice a familiar cosy blanket when you're ready for bed too! 

 

Opposite the dramatic island of Caldey (which is still inhabited by monks), Penally Abbey is a true labour of love for the Boissevain family. It is home to a candle lit restaurant called Rhosyn, 12 beautiful bedrooms with luxuriously comfortable beds, a happy little spaniel called Maud and acres of wonderful woodlands & gardens.
