Tucked between the capital and the rolling hills of Sussex, Surrey offers a convenient countryside escape within easy distance of London. Inundated with high-end properties to stay at, from grandiose manor houses and riverside lodges, to charming boutique hotels in quieter villages, all these venues are set against some of the most beautiful countryside in England. This is a county made up of quiet affluence, filled with dozens of period buildings that have been thoughtfully reimagined as destinations for welcome spa breaks, retreats, and gourmet dining affairs.
