Hoar Cross Hall Named England's Leading Resort
FEBRUARY 15, 2010 - Highly thought of by both consumers and travel professionals, Hoar Cross Hall was named England's Leading Resort for the fifth consecutive year at the World Travel Awards Europe Gala ceremony 2009. In addition to this accolade, TripAdvisor users can't say enough good things about this decadent establishment. BTN went to investigate.
“Through these doors walk the loveliest people in the world.”
These are the words that greet you at Hoar Cross Hall, a beautiful Stately Home hidden away in the heart of the English countryside (Staffordshire).
This graceful grade 11 listed building, which was built in the 1860s, is the only Stately Home in England that also offers a complete spa experience - for guests who are seeking total relaxation in beautiful and historic surroundings.
The Hoar Cross Hall project was the vision of Stephen Joynes, MBE, who bought the residence in 1989, and restored it to its natural splendour with a nine million pound investment and expansion programme
