Country Manor Medium Dry Perry (4 x 3 Litre Bag in Box)

Product Information

A getaway to the leafy British countryside often makes for the perfect staycation, where you can get away from it all while surrounded by the tranquillity of the UK's rural landscapes - and the best country house hotels offer everything you need for a relaxing escape. Dr Fowler welcomes the discussions that the removal of Colston’s statue has triggered – they’re the kind of honest, open and sometimes difficult conversations that Colonial Countryside is stimulating: “It is vital we have this conversation now – we’re very familiar with the history of the Tudors and the World Wars, but there is a gap in our collective knowledge of 400 years of colonial history and its role in shaping modern Britain.” Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score, we add up all the review scores and divide that total by the number of review scores we received. Guests can also give separate subscores in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free WiFi. Guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently – there’s no direct link between them. The country seat of Victorian PM Benjamin Disraeli near High Wycombe proved a great escape for the statesman from 1848 to 1881. The National Trust property offers its usual thoughtful presentation of the man and his country life at Hughenden. Formal gardens and woodland walks through the parkland as well.

Stately homes and historic houses have been turned into luxury hotels so we can all live like royalty for a weekend. Whether you simply want to take in the beauty of a character-rich building steeped in history and enjoy afternoon tea in front of a roaring open fire, or all the bells and whistles, there's a country house hotel to suit all tastes. I put together the idea of a child-led history and creative-writing project to explore those histories, whether connected to the British Atlantic world or East India Company, and to think about how we can tell these stories and make them clear to visitors when they’re central to the history of the houses,” continues Dr Fowler.Though it was built in the early 1800s, novelist Sir Walter Scott did his best to give his manor near Melrose as archly medieval a feeling as he could. With its recent refurb, Abbotsford draws increasing visitors to the world of the romantic Scottish novelist. In a village near Bradford-on-Avon, the manor at Westwood was built over three centuries and refects several architectural styles. Its period furnishings include 17th and 18th-century tapestries that help give the home a warm, domestic feel. The modern topiary garden is one of the highlights as well. Enjoy two nights at Careys Manor with our offer, including breakfast each morning, a dinner allowance each evening, and access to the swimming pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and gym. It’s an image that endures across the ‘green and pleasant land’ under threat from ‘satanic mills’ in William Blake’s Jerusalem, in the novels of Jane Austen and Evelyn Waugh, in the watercolours of John Constable and JMW Turner, and period dramas, such as the Oscar-winning Gosford Park and wildly popular TV series, Downton Abbey.

Following the group’s representations, the label was changed, as XazQ explains: “The dress sword was incorrectly identified – it said it was from the ‘Indian mutiny’ but I told them it should be the ‘First War of Indian Independence’, so they changed the label. The whole group settled on ‘captured’, not ‘taken’.” Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience.

He believes that now more than ever, Britain’s story of self and who makes the nation needs broadening. “Our sense of nation today is very different to 25 years ago and people, especially young people, have to be represented in the heritage sector – museums, galleries and National Trust properties – because they’re repositories. If younger generations don’t see their heritages represented in these spaces, they’re not going to go,” he says. As the bringing down of Colston’s statue shows, ignorance of Britain’s past is far from bliss, and as XazQ so eloquently puts it, harms our future. “Colonial Countryside has made me realise that our present is based on our past, and our present will shape our future. The British Empire has made Great Britain the way it is today – if we carry on not talking about it, we would be taking history for granted and future generations won’t know about it, and that makes our future bleaker,” she says. list (please be aware that we charge by the day not by the night, and prices include day or arrival and day of departure). please refer to the 2024booking form and read carefully for any up to date changes -any changes to the below will always be able on the 2024booking form
