These hotels, cottages and self-catering properties in or near beautiful gardens and grounds are perfect picks for a floral getaway
This grand Cumbrian farm has nearly five hectares of lawns, herbaceous borders, meadows, stone griffins and views across the River Lowther. Staying here (or at the Queen’s Head nearby) gives you access to the grounds and outdoor heated pool in summer, which is the time to catch purple alliums, peonies and rambling roses in full flower. The Michelin-starred on-site restaurant uses veg from the cornucopian kitchen garden.
