Spring is also going to be pretty much the perfect time to visit here

We’ve written about Hartwell House’s hefty price slashes before, and although we’re not fans of the floral decor, there’s no denying they do good bargains.

Here’s the latest – you can save 50 percent off rack rates for Easter if you book today. Just book a stay for between 1-18 April, and you get it for half price - meaning double rooms start at £140 (singles at £85).

If You Can Deal With Floral Decor, You'll Get a Deal at The Hartwell House

Not sure the countryside looks this green in October so expect some foliage changes.

Here’s a reason to thank the schooling system – Hartwell House, a grand old 17th century country mansion near Aylesbury (between London and Oxford) is knocking 50 percent off its rack rates to celebrate Half Term from October 25-29 , making the usual rate of £260 ($409) and up a night a rather more palatable £130.

The hotel itself is pretty special – rather than doing what most country house hotels have done, which is to make the bedrooms chic and modern, it’s kept them very traditional, so although it’s a little on the flouncy side (the rooms are covered in floral patterns), you really feel like you’re staying in an old home circa Jane Austen, rather than a designer gaffe.
