Stapleford Park Country House Hotel and Sporting Estate

Casual luxury at its very best is how Stapleford has been described and, with its unique character and sumptuous comforts, it is one of the finest country house hotels in England. Across acres of Capability Brown created parkland, up a tree-lined avenue, under the arch, you reach the stunning façade of this great country mansion, designed by Inigo Jones and John Webb. Public rooms reflect the majesty of the house. Meals are taken in the ornately carved Grinling Gibbons dining room which serves outstanding cuisine conveying traditional and modern British country cooking at its best. Bedrooms have been individually created by top designers such as Wedgwood, David Hicks, Zoffany, Crabtree & Evelyn. Every conceivable leisure activity is on offer here, including a Technogym in the stable block. A stay at Stapleford is unforgettable, combining the grand style of bygone centuries with present day luxury.

03/06/2009 (1 night stay): We always enjoy our stays at Stapleford. This time we had the 'Campion Bell' bedroom with hand painted murals! Dinner was good as ever and breakfast superb. Always regret that we don't have time to sample the spa and other activities available.

17/12/2008 (2 night stay): Really enjoyed the classy but not stuffy atmosphere of the hotel. The staff were excellent and we were made to feel very welcome. Will definitely go again even if just to sample the food at the excellent restaurant.
