To find an hotel with such a balance of comfort and historical integrity is rare, but to stumble across one within such a short distance of London and its airport must be uniqueA Salisbury-Jones, Boston, USA
An illustrious historical pedigree spanning four centuries

Great Fosters can genuinely claim to offer the best of both worlds. An atmospheric former manor house, where Elizabethan courtiers once strolled the corridors and warmed themselves beside roaring log fires, it has one foot in an enviably rich and fascinating past. Meanwhile, the other foot is firmly planted in the present, conveniently close to the M25, and within half an hour of central London and Heathrow Airport. This unusual combination offers an alluring opportunity to travel-weary visitors keen to experience a side of England usually only found deep in the distant shires. Great Fosters is a scheduled historic monument which still displays a plethora of original features in the grand public rooms and the lavishly decorated historic bedrooms. The hotel's magnificent gardens cover some 50 landscaped acres liberally adorned with topiary and statuary. A highlight is the intricate knot garden, which is surrounded by a Saxon moat and despite its Tudor overtones actually dates from the early 20th-century Arts and Crafts Movement era. There are rose gardens, a grassed amphitheatre, and a lily pond, and guests can take a little gentle exercise on the croquet lawn, in the swimming pool, or on the tennis court.
