Stanbrook Abbey
This hotel, formerly an abbey, oozes stature, grace, serenity and spiritual beauty. Within the rambling historic brick-and-stone buildings, guests will always find a quiet, private space to relax, even if it's at the top of the Bell Tower while admiring the rural views. Few hotels are truly astounding – this one is.
