巴瑟羅畢雷斯利莊園酒店 - 艾塞斯特

The manor that fed Shakespeare’s imagination four centuries ago is just as inspiring today, offering an experience that is at once rich in culture yet relaxed and unstuffy. In the manor’s beautiful gardens, delightful finds include a whimsical topiary garden and a tiny chapel hidden in the woods where Shakespeare’s granddaughter married (and, word has it, the man himself). Set in the original manor and its adjacent stone barns, 71 stylish rooms instantly calm, while wood-paneled suites cosset and indulge with free-standing bath tubs and opulent four-posters. There is an acclaimed restaurant with verdant garden views, a cozy bar warmed by a crackling fire in winter, and a tranquil spa and pool. Woven in English history, cut through with contemporary luxury, Billesley Manor invites all who seek escape from the everyday to run away with their imagination awhile.
