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

Where: Oxford Road, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom, HP17 8NR

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.
