The White Hart, near Henley-on-Thames

• Ticking all the boxes: This TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence-winning hotel is everything a country inn should be. Set against the Chilterns' wooded hillsides, near the royal regatta town of Henley-on-Thames, The White Hart is a 14th-century country inn that prides itself on old-school hospitality, with a modern helping of contemporary amenities.

• Wine and dine: The White Hart packs some big flavours into its international menu. You can sample authentic South African staples, like bobotie (a mince and almond bake), or indulge in one of their legendary steaks. As you’d expect, the carvery Sunday lunches are somewhat of an institution, too.

• Home from home: The hotel has an exclusive selection of individually designed bedrooms, most of which are in the stately main building, with some tucked away in the luxurious converted stables. You’re looking at bold prints, ornate dark wooden beds, and country-style furniture, while en-suite bathrooms are elegant and bright.
