If rolling countryside and castles are
your cup of tea, think fall in England. Herewith, our top two picks for English
country retreats. A former prison at Oxford Castle, today
there’s nothing masochistic about shutting yourself in at the Malmaison. The 94 rooms are designed with only punishing
decadence in mind. Much of the original fittings and layout have been
maintained, including studded metal doors and barred windows, but chic
modern updates have created an atmosphere of moody luxury. The Brasserie and Bar in the cellar are
also criminally good. Rooms from £79. Visit www.malmaison-oxford.com Nestled beneath the Cow and Calf Rocks
on the Ilkley Moor in West Yorkshire, this traditional inn evokes the
setting and scenery of Wuthering Heights. High on the hillside, the blustery location
affords breathtaking views of the moors, and the village below. Who
knows, maybe you’ll meet your very own Heathcliff? Rooms from £59. Visit www.innkeeperslodge.com
