Spent Monday afternoon learning about Hand Picked Hotels while enjoying the hospitaliity of Audleys Wood in Basingstoke.

They have some beaufiful historic country house properties across the country, the latest addition being Stanbrook Abbey in Worcestershire, which is currently being refurbished which involves moving the restaurant from the roof level to the ground floor!

The hotels can be found from Brandshatch, Kent to Edinburgh, Scotland and also Jersey and Guernsey and with 19 hotels in all there is a great choice to choose from.

Audleys Wood is situated on the edge of Basingstoke, in beautiful grounds, offers 72 bedrooms and wood panelled private dining spaces, and Garden Pavilion for larger events.
