Stoke Place is a reinvention of the traditional country house - a home from home environment, ideal for celebrations and with the feel of an aristocratic-owned private house. With 40 bedrooms, 7 individually designed private rooms seating from 8 to 200 people, extensive gardens designed by the legendary Capability Brown and a gym and treatment room, Stoke Place offers conferences, weddings, quiet getaways and fantastic dining. Surrounded by 26 acres of beautiful parkland and abundant wildlife, it is difficult to believe Stoke Place is only 30 minutes from central London. Built as a family home in 1690, the substantial Queen Anne Manor House retains all of its old charms and features, updated with handpicked modern designer pieces. The restaurant and Head Chef Craig van der Meer have been awarded 4 out of 10 in the Good Food Guide (an accolade awarded to some Michelin Star restaurants) and described as producing a "dedicated, focused approach to cooking, good classical skills and high quality ingredients". Stoke Place is classified as a 4* Hotel by the AA Hotel Guide, has been awarded 2 Rosettes from the AA Restaurant Guide and is part of Great Hotels of the World Premier Collection.
