Travel: Hartwell House, Buckinghamshire
ONE of three hotels owned by the National Trust, Hartwell House, in the Vale of Aylesbury, was first mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to a natural son of William the Conqueror. But the stunning building that stands there now, with its Jacobean and Georgian aspects, dates from the early 17th century.
Travel: Cannes, France

Travel: Raemoir House, Banchory
AS we entered this fine Georgian mansion, the young receptionist almost bounded from behind her desk in the hallway to give us the grand tour.
Through one door, white tablecloths and silver cutlery gleamed from a sunlit dining room packed with Sunday lunchers.
Travel: Housetrip, Berlin

Travel: Surf ‘n’ turf safari at Tanzania
