The Eastbury Hotel, Sherborne, Dorset
An ideal weekend retreat, the Eastbury was originally designed as an 18th-century “gentleman’s residence”, and now houses 27 individually styled bedrooms, with designs inspired by the herbs, flowers and trees in the hotel’s award-winning walled garden. The garden is also home to the hotel’s spa, which boasts an outdoor hot tub as well as two treatment rooms. Upmarket dinners come with live music on Friday and Saturday nights, while the Pod, a glass sphere in the garden seating up to four, is ideal for a special occasion.
