This Grade II-listed baroque country house is not too far from the M5, but you'd never realise it. Inside, the Duke of Wellington provides the theme, with the bedrooms and restaurants named after his battles. Amongst the seven acres of stunning formal and woodland gardens are a heated outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, croquet lawn, a rediscovered rose garden and a Victorian Orangery. The 180 acre Langford Heath Nature Reserve is five minutes walk away. In the hotels Wellesley Restaurant, gifted French chef, Patrick Robert, has created an integration of classical French cuisine with imaginative modern British cookery. The restaurant has already won a reputation for excellent food and wines. Unspoiled countryside, 18th century Gothic splendours, a genuinely innovative hotel, superb food. If you are looking for these things, at Bindon you will find them well. The historic oak panelled Wellington Bar, with its open fireplace, is the place to relax with an after dinner drink with coffee and petit fours or play a game of chess.
