Discover the Charm of Barnett Hill
Located amidst an expansive 26-acre estate in the Surrey Hills near Guildford, Barnett Hill is (in the words of the Telegraph no less) a ‘gingerbread-brick palace’. Contemporary and design-led, the 56 boutique rooms, suites and residences are appointed with oh-so-chic designer furnishings. Its culinary experiences are led by Head Chef Steven Newton, and include The Oak Room for exceptional a la carte dining, the 1905 Bar for crowd-pleasing classics (as well as perfectly made drinks) and the private dining menus are guaranteed to wow. For corporate travellers, Barnett Hill excels with its dedicated meeting and event facilities for up to 70 delegates with nine meeting rooms and beautiful grounds. An inspiring backdrop for conferences and private functions, it is ideally suited for engaging team-building activities, productive collaboration and creativity in a restorative environment.
Experience the Elegance of Langshott Manor
Langshott Manor, a historic gem in Surrey, merely minutes away from Gatwick Airport, invites guests to indulge in its refined atmosphere. The hotel boasts the acclaimed The Mulberry restaurant, holding 2 AA Rosettes, offering an exceptional fine dining experience, complemented by hearty breakfasts and delightful afternoon teas. It provides a tranquil and romantic setting for those seeking a peaceful escape. With four meeting and conference suites accommodating up to 60 delegates, Langshott Manor is an ideal venue for intimate corporate meetings and high-level exclusive use business retreats within its historic setting, providing a discreet and distinguished setting for productive discussions and bespoke team-building sessions, from ‘It’s a Knock Out’ to duck herding and mini golf. From idyllic backdrops for big-production TV shows to providing a great base for crew needing to rest their heads after a long day of shooting near any of our countryside destinations.
Classic British Hotels is excited to begin working with The Alexander Hotel Collection, creating a partnership that will undoubtedly bring enhanced experiences to guests and continued success to both collections. This collaboration underscores the shared vision of promoting independent hotels that offer exceptional quality and truly memorable stays across the UK.
