Step into the past with a stay at the poetic Billesley Manor, a 16th-century country house with a rich romantic history. Grade II listed, the manor boasts 72 elegant guest rooms, an award-winning restaurant, health club and swimming pool. Plus, it's only a stone's throw away from Stratford-Upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, where there's plenty to do and see. Stay in a luxurious room with superb amenities, including a flat screen TV and high-speed Wi-Fi, before dining in The Stuart Restaurant. Glittering chandeliers and period oak features create a regal ambience that compliments the authentic country menu (which includes favourites such as slow braised beef and tender lamb rump). To top it off, enjoy breakfast in the morning
