The Rectory Hotel – Crudwell, Wiltshire

Originally the rectory to a nearby church before it became a country house hotel, this Grade II-listed Georgian building was revamped and reopened by former music executive Alex Payne in 2017. Now the house, built from beautiful golden Cotswold stone, has 18 pared-back but beautiful bedrooms: 15 in the main house, plus three in a separate cottage, all kitted out with contemporary furniture, beds with smart velvet headboards in shades such as mustard or navy, and roll top baths with luxurious Bramley products in the bathroom. Here, all the little details have been considered, from the smart TVs to the honesty bar that’s stocked with brandy and whisky for anyone who fancies a nightcap. Downstairs, there are two inviting sitting rooms with sink-in sofas, board games, paperbacks and, in winter, a crackling log fire. Food is served in the relaxed wood-panelled dining room, the airy glasshouse and in the tranquil garden, where there’s also a heated pool which is open from May to October. Popular sister pub, The Potting Shed, is just over the road, too, for equally delicious suppers and fine ales.
