Chilworth Manor, Hants, UK

I stayed at this hotel in July 2014 for some meetings at nearby IBM Hursley.  It’s actually a Best Western hotel in an old manor house, so no, I didn’t just win the lottery. I had jetlag and got up just after dawn, padding barefoot around the grounds (they have acres and acres). If you need a hotel between Southampton and Winchester, well, I’d for sure go back.
