THE TOP 50 BOUTIQUE HOTELS IN THE UK WERE RECENTLY UNVEILED The Top 50 Boutique Hotels in the UK were recently unveiled. The much-anticipated list is curated and voted by leading industry experts, hoteliers, travel writers and influencers. Chris Lowe, group director of hospitality and manufacturing at William Reed says “We’re delighted to be revealing this fantastic new list. Our number one has jumped up 18 places from last year and the highest new entry is number 5 which is a testament to those teams’ stellar efforts. With staycations continuing to be a focus for Britons, it is encouraging to see such a strong regional presence this year and such a wide range of unique hotel experiences to enjoy.” The Boutique Hotel list follows on from the success of the Top 50 Cocktail Bars, as well as the long-running and ever-popular Top 50 Gastropubs. Now, consumers have a complete and definitive guide to where to eat, drink, and sleep throughout the UK. At number 31 on the list is The Wild Rabbit, a modern British inn located in Kingham, Oxfordshire, perfect for a mini-moon in the region, where guests can enjoy great food, drink and accommodation. Private dining is available in The Chicken Shed, a light and spacious self-contained building, perfect for wedding celebration dinners (https://thewildrabbit.co.uk/private-dining) Cliveden House, located in Berkshire, was number 39 on the list.
