Alveston Manor, WarwickshireTudor manor house with leisure club in historic Stratford-upon-Avon

• History and charm: Sitting pretty near the centre of Stratford-upon-Avon and the banks of the River Avon, Alveston Manor is a true sight to behold. Wisteria and ivy climb the trellis-clad facade of this 1500s abode, framing the mullioned windows that hang with heavy, tapestry-like drapes. Inside you’ll find intricately-carved oak panels matched with antique decor, all perfectly in-keeping with the property's history.

• Fine British flavours: The award-winning Manor Restaurant offers a feast for the senses, with a beautifully-presented, modern spin on classic British cuisine. Warmth, tradition and high-quality ingredients take centre-stage from breakfast through to dinner, while the sophisticated Blue Lounge and Manor Bar are perfect for a tipple and more informal snacks.
