Much favoured by the "jet set," Lucknam Park is an elegant former mansion that echoes the ostentation of former days. If sheer, unadulterated luxury is your style and money is no object, then this is the place for you. Six miles from Bath and set in ancient parkland, this hotel has everything, including a leisure spa with indoor swimming pool and sauna, an equestrian centre and a health and beauty salon plus a games room. An award-winning restaurant aims to tempt your tastebuds.
