Essex scooped this year’s Boutique Hotel of the Year.. Down Hall took the title at September’s Boutique Hotelier Awards, bringing fresh attention to the Italianate mansion in Hatfield Heath. With 98 individually designed bedrooms and 110 acres of woodland and gardens, there’s considerable space behind that boutique designation.
Feature rooms overlook the gardens, and the house retains its ornate ceilings and historic lounges. The Garden Room’s two-AA-Rosette kitchen serves seasonal British dishes using produce grown on the estate, giving dinner a connection to those grounds. Eden Spa and The Barn Spa offer treatments, while tennis and padel courts add options for anyone who prefers a more active weekend in the countryside.
