Surrounded by a staggering 110 acres of woodland and gardens, Down Hall is just 30 minutes from central London and surprisingly close to Stansted Airport. This beautiful building's history dates back to the 13th century and today, proudly stands as a magnificent example of Italianate design featuring tall, narrow windows that bring in floods of natural daylight into the lofty, spacious interior. The décor is very much of the classic English country house style with beautiful drapes, sparkling chandeliers and elegant bedrooms accompanied by large marble bathrooms. The hotel is commendably becoming carbon neutral, supporting local suppliers and growing its own fruit and vegetables, and also maintains a natural habitat pond area, a project supported by Essex Wildlife Trust. The great British pastime of afternoon tea by a roaring log fire can be enjoyed before experiencing the offerings of the fine dining restaurant or a more informal meal at the bistro-style Grill Room.
