The New UK Hotels To Visit This Summer From London

The New UK Hotels To Visit This Summer From London

Impressive new hotels have been opening up across the UK in recent months, with many providing an easy retreat from London. These are the new hotels to check in to this summer.


The Pig at Bridge Place

The latest property in the small collection of Pig Hotels opened this April just outside Canterbury. The Pig at Bridge Place takes up a historic building that for the past four decades has been the setting for gigs and parties with music legends such as Led Zeppelin. The property still comes with period features, including its original fireplaces, panelled rooms and secret stairways, but these now come with the modern rural feel each Pig Hotel has become known for. Just like the other Pig properties, food is an integral part of the experience. Dine on dishes showcasing local produce in the Coach House restaurant and try sparkling wines from local vineyards in the hotel’s cosy bar.

The Langley, a Luxury Collection Hotel

June saw the grand opening of this 41-room boutique hotel in Buckinghamshire’s Langley Park, with the restoration of the estate's mansion and adjacent Brew House marking the start of an exciting new chapter. This opening follows a six-year, multi-million-dollar renovation of the former hunting lodge of the third Duke of Marlborough, as well as the creation of the 17,222-sq-ft Langley Spa, which was created in partnership with Sisley, and fitness facilities developed with Matt Roberts. All of this is joined by the restaurant Cedar, which focuses on seasonal dishes with local ingredients, the Drawing Room for afternoon tea and the Churchill Bar. Days can be spent exploring the surroundings on foot or horseback.


Hawkstone Hall & Gardens

Hawkstone Hall & Gardens opened in the spring, with its restaurant making its debut at the beginning of June. This restored 18th-century Grade I listed mansion sits within 88 acres of gardens in the Shropshire countryside. The 37-room hotel is made up of a main hall featuring high sculpted ceilings, drapes and antique furnishings with a sweeping double staircase leading to 12 suites named after British writers and artists, as well as an original chapel and the Orangery Wing, which is adjacent to the main building with a further 25 bedrooms. You can now dine on British dishes in the Saloon Restaurant, wander through the sprawling gardens and join a class in the yoga studio.

Monkey Island Estate

This seven-acre estate officially opened as a hotel in the spring with a white bricked Pavilion and Temple building that celebrate the property’s 800-year history. New York based firm Champalimaud Design led the redesign of the hotel’s 41 bedrooms and suites, combining the property’s original glamour with a modern relaxed feel. One of the most distinct features though is the Floating Spa, which is moored on the banks of the island, with treatments inspired by the monks who used to live here. The hotel will be adding to Bray’s culinary prestige with the new restaurant Monkey Island Brasserie where executive chef William Hemming offers a modern take on British classics.

The Newt in Somerset

The latest hotel to have made its debut is the just-opened Newt in Somerset. This property gives a new lease of life to the 1690-built Hadspen House near Bruton. Stay in one of the grand property’s restored rooms while sampling their garden-to-table dining in The Botanical Rooms and trying the cocktails, wines and estate’s own cyder in The Bar and Croquet Lounge. Unwind in the expansive spa with hammam and indoor-outdoor pool and browse the books in the library. Tours of the estate’s gardens, orchards and woodlands are included in every guest’s stay. Rooms and suites are spread throughout the main 17th-century house and former Stable Yard.
