The Best Luxury Country Hotels in the UK | Exclusive Top 10

When a unique place to stay doesn't offer quite the right vibe for your getaway and only a country pile will do, you'll want our roundup of the finest five-star country hotels to hand.
Choose from old favourites such as Chewton Glen in the New Forest (now with added treehouse suites) and newer but no less luxurious additions such as Grantley Hall, the most unabashedly OTT hotel in the whole of Yorkshire (all four counties).
Head to Perthshire for the guaranteed-to-be-great whisky selection at Gleneagles, where you can play golf, master the art of falconry, train gundogs and shoot some clays.
And if you do want the chintz (no judgement here), do it properly with an overnight stay in a National Trust property - only one with a outdoor pool, an excellent grill restaurant and, yes, a full suit of armour and elaborately draped beds (ie: Cliveden House).
