“I found a distinctive charm in this Grade II listed manor, now a hotel, near Stafford. The countryside setting provides a tranquil backdrop, particularly appealing given its history and lakeside gardens. I was especially drawn to the award-winning dining, which emphasises local and seasonal ingredients, adding a layer of culinary depth to the experience.”
