Town and Country

03/06/2008

Enjoy the best of the best. A five-day break for two. Begin with three nights in cosmopolitan London at the luxurious five star Egerton House Hotel. Then off to Dorset for two nights in the enchanting English countryside at beautifully restored Summer Lodge Country House Hotel, Restaurant & Spa. Travellers can have it all with the Town and Country package!

Begin your fabulous getaway at The Egerton House Hotel where you will spend three nights. Enjoy a full English breakfast each morning, an Egerton afternoon tea for two and a famous Antonio Martin on arrival. The Egerton House Hotel is a charming 30 bedroom property in the heart of fashionable Knightsbridge.

While in London, there is so much to do: visit the British Museum; ride on the London Eye; shop at Harrods or Savile Row; enjoy a show in the West End theatre district. Had enough of the fast pace? Ready for relaxation? Guests enjoy a car transfer to London's Waterloo train station for first-class rail travel to Dorset.

The contrast from city life is immediately apparent. A member of Relais & Châteaux, Summer Lodge is surrounded by a village of thatched cottages in the heart of Thomas Hardy country. Built in 1789, this Georgian Manor is distinguished by its elegant white facade and grey slate. Many of the 24 rooms and suites boast their own fireplace and conservatories overlooking the beautiful gardens and nearby village.

Summer Lodge has a long tradition of gracious hospitality. Here you will enjoy two restful nights of luxury accommodation and a traditional English pub lunch in the historic Acorn Inn in Evershot.

This quiet countryside has its own attractions: antique shops, museums, gardens, breweries, and a deer park. If the pulse of the city is innate, there is an indoor pool, hard tennis courts, a croquet lawn, and nearby golf, fishing, hiking, and horseback riding.
