Whether you are a fan of Nat King Cole and roasting chestnuts or not, you'll probably still appreciate a blazing fire on a winter's evening and a glass of something warming to keep your spirits up. These Best Loved Althorp Hotels with Log Fires are big fans too and their version of an open fire range from a comfortable inn's hearth to the gaping maw and burning blaze of a full-blown castle's stone fireplace.
Althorp, Northamptonshire, has been the ancestral home of the Spencer family for 500 years, but is perhaps more widely known as Princess Diana's final resting place. Best Loved's hotels near Althrop are near within an easy journey of this historic house and gardens. The 450 acres of immaculate parkland feature the famous Princess Diana Memorial Garden, and there is also a six-room exhibit celebrating the princess's life within the walls of the magnificent house itself.
