Glorious Gardens by Pride of Britain Hotels
Spring is here – and gardens up and down the country, from Sussex to Scotland, are bursting into bloom
Tulips at Gravetye Manor
Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Imagine a riot of colour in a flower-filled garden with a blanket of purple bluebells, crimson-pink cherry blossom and sapphire-blue delphiniums. A sweet fragrance fills the air and the sunshine gently warms your skin. This is a quintessential country garden.
Pride of Britain Hotels suggests that there is no substitute for spending quality time with nature and surrounding yourself with our glorious gardens. Take a stroll through the foliage to nourish your soul, providing an instant mood boost. Our chefs gather fruit, vegetables and edible flowers from the kitchen gardens for delicious dishes and healthy spring salads allowing guests to enjoy produce from earth to plate within hours, sometimes minutes.
West Sussex
The landscaped gardens at Gravetye Manor were created by pioneering gardener William Robinson and are considered one of the most important historic gardens in England. Look out for jewel-like tulips in the flower garden. You can also explore wild meadows, orchards and a flourishing walled kitchen garden that provides produce for the hotel’s restaurant.
Wales
Situated on a peninsular with terraces tumbling down the hillside and views of Snowdonia, the gardens at Bodysgallen Hall are a spectacular sight. It is well known for its colourful 17th century box hedged parterre, though you can also meander through medlar and mulberry, enchanting follies and a rose garden.
Buckinghamshire
The revered English landscape architect Capability Brown transformed 90 acres of countryside surrounding Hartwell House in the Vale of Aylesbury back in the 18th century. Vibrant spring blooms to discover here include daffodils, primroses and anemones. A roam through the parkland reveals grand statues, canals and an ornamental bridge.
Scotland
The gardens surrounding Glenapp Castle are perched above the Ayrshire coast and boast many extraordinary plants from around the world. You’ll have a spring in your step while wandering through the Gertrude Jekyll-designed Italian garden, but don’t miss the grapevines, peach and fig trees in the Victorian glasshouse.
With so many horticultural hotels to choose from, your next Glorious Garden escape with Pride of Britain Hotels awaits.
