Winter breaks in Buckinghamshire at Hartwell House, in York at Middlethorpe Hall and near Llandudno at Bodysgallen Hall
The three Historic House Hotels provide the ideal setting for a cosy country house hotel experience. In the past, each house has been home to remarkable people. Each building is at least 300 years old, and there are few hotels of such charm and historic interest as Hartwell House, Middlethorpe Hall and Bodysgallen Hall.
Hartwell House is one of the Stately Homes of England. Its most famous resident was Louis XVIII, exiled King of France. The impressive house contains beautiful public rooms with rococo ceilings, antique furniture and paintings and fireplaces to unwind by in the Great Hall, Morning Room, Drawing Room and Library. Hartwell’s magnificent gardens are spread across 94 acres and were landscaped by a contemporary of Capability Brown.
Winter highlights: fireplaces in public rooms, 94 acres of gardens, 2 AA Rosette dining, daily afternoon tea, spa with swimming pool, sauna and steam room. Dog friendly too.

Winter Break: £279 per room per night including £25 allowance each towards dinner food in the hotel restaurant and a £15 voucher each per stay towards pre-booked spa treatments. Sunday-Thursday only until 28th March 2025 excluding Christmas and New Year period.
Middlethorpe Hall stands in 20 acres of its own award winning gardens in historic York. The house was formerly the home of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. Middlethorpe Hall is an ideal base for exploring the treasures of the North of England such as Castle Howard. Middlethorpe Hall has been elegantly decorated in the manner of the 18th Century and furnished with antiques and fine paintings, so that its look and ambiance is that of a well-kept, well-furnished private country house rather than a hotel. Public rooms with fireplaces include The Drawing Room, The Library, The Upstairs Sitting Room, The North Hall and The Dining Room.

2023 marked 15 years since the donation of the three Historic House Hotels to the National Trust. This philanthropic act represented the largest donation the National Trust had received since WWII.
Each stay, meal and spa experience at the three hotels – Hartwell House, Buckinghamshire; Middlethorpe Hall near York and Bodysgallen Hall in Llandudno – supports the National Trust. In 2008, Historic House Hotels Ltd and all its interests became the property of the National Trust, by donation, with all profits henceforward benefiting the houses and the charity.
