B&B
Grand historic hotel owned by National Trust, it's Jacobean with Georgian facade. No children under 6.
When Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild built Waddesdon Manor from 1874, it was so elaborate that he first needed to build a manor house to accommodate the architects and craft builders. That's nowadays this upscale hotel in retro-Tudor style with a bit of chateau thrown in.
Named for the family not the dog, but it suits the country style of this pub with rooms. Good dining.
