Verzon House, Ledbury, Herefordshire
Verzon House is nestled deep within the rolling hills of the Herefordshire countryside. It’s not too remote though – only a hop, skip and fully-functioning-satnav jump away from London. With an inviting entrance and welcoming staff, there’s an instant home-away-from-home feel, but with luxury extras such as Egyptian cotton bedlinen and home-made cookies in each room. Owned by the Chase family, whose award-winning gin and vodka distillery is only a 20-minute drive away, the hotel tastefully integrates the family history into an impressive cocktail menu in its cosy bar, where you can luxuriate in the agony of indecision. The restaurant has a seasonal and locally-sourced menu, guaranteeing a hearty culinary ride, with the presentation values of the finest of London restaurants. Don’t forget to buy one of their bottles before you leave – our favourite is the rhubarb vodka. And if you want to bring your beloved pooch along to share the gorgeous walks, just pre-book the dog too, at £10 a night.
