马厩小屋

One of England's first country house hotels, Hambleton Hall was considered ground-breaking when it opened in 1980; a feeling of luxury still pervades today, with its traditionally styled interior enhanced by the idyllic setting on the shore of Rutland Water. Aaron Patterson has headed up the stoves since 1992 and there’s a dependability to the cooking here; accomplished seasonal dishes have a classical base with distinct flavours and plenty of modern touches. Bread comes from their own artisan bakery and the 400-bin wine list is a real labour of love.
