Hartwell House and Spa, Buckinghamshire hotel review

A former residence of an exiled French king, this luxury stately home is blessed with 94 glorious acres of gardens and parklands, making this National Trust property the perfect place to live out your Bridgerton fantasies

Location

Hartwell House is located within the Vale of Aylesbury and on the edge of the Chilterns, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It’s 40 miles northwest of London and a 38-minute direct train ride from London Marylebone to Haddenham & Thame Parkway. From here, it’s a 10-minute taxi ride away (there’s a rank at the railway station). It’s 13 miles from the M40 motorway and Oxford is just 20 miles away. The area is teeming with historical sights: Blenheim Palace, Waddesdon Manor, Bletchley Park and Claydon House are all within an hour’s drive away, so access to a car is an advantage; Hartwell House guests can enjoy discounted or complimentary access.
