Think you need a passport for a five-star break? Think again. Britain is packed with luxurious stays \u2014 and one hotel has just been crowned the best in all of England.<\/p>\n
That title comes courtesy of VisitEngland, the official tourism board of England. Every year, its Awards for Excellence celebrate the best places to stay and visit, recognising those who, in their words, \u201chave gone above and beyond to deliver exceptional travel experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n
There are several categories in the awards, but the most prestigious is \u2018Large Hotel of the Year\u2019 \u2014 and not just because of the square footage.<\/p>\n
With thousands of top-tier hotels across the country, competition is fierce. To win gold, a property must be a \u201cfull-service hotel\u201d offering \u201ctruly memorable guest experiences\u201d while excelling across every part of the business. And this year\u2019s winner? Mallory Court Hotel & Spa in Warwickshire<\/a>.<\/p>\n Judges described Mallory Court as \u201ca serene base\u201d, nestled within \u201c10 acres of landscaped gardens\u201d. With sweeping views of the Warwickshire hills right outside your window, it\u2019s easy to see why it stood out. The on-site spa includes a pool, sauna, and outdoor hot tub \u2014 all overlooking the pristine grounds. You can even take a quiet walk through the gardens to reset.<\/p>\n VisitEngland also praised the hotel\u2019s \u201cstrong commitment to sustainability, incorporating homegrown produce and eco-conscious practices along with its high-end touches.\u201d And if you do feel like venturing out, it\u2019s conveniently close to both Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon.<\/p>\n
