Historic Homes & Garden Hotels in Northern England

Kitty Armstrong is a luxury travel advisor for Sterling Brownell. She is passionate about travel in England and shares below some of her experiences in Northern England homes and gardens.

Every visit to the UK is memorable for me; however, staying in the countryside in historic halls and country homes is always one of my favorites.

Delightfully cozy public rooms with fireplaces and private nooks for intimate conversations or curling up with a book are the norm. Accommodations are all different sizes and individually decorated, full of interesting surprises and are so comfortable and relaxing. The views from the windows alone bring feelings of aristocracy and the excitement of experiencing a part of history.
Many now have spas, Michelin star restaurants, tennis courts, and fitness centers as well as equestrian facilities, tours with their gardeners, and private excursions to surrounding castles and villages. In fact the very best spa pool I have ever experienced was in Wales and part of a 17th century home.
