Inglewood Manor in Ledsham (Cheshire), England

Inglewood Manor has 29 luxuriously refurbished bedrooms, each individually decorated with original Edwardian features and views over the grounds. The Oak Room, used as the Bridal Suite, sits above the main entrance with a four-poster bed and spacious bathroom. Rooms are spread across the manor with no lift, and some like Room 18 sit above the kitchen extractor fans.

The on-site restaurant serves English and continental cuisine created by award-winning chefs using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. Breakfast includes a full English or vegetarian option, with supplements for items like Eggs Benedict (£4) or Smoked Salmon with Scrambled Eggs (£6). Afternoon tea is served in elegant surroundings and has received praise for fresh sandwiches and cakes.

The hotel sits in 38 acres of picturesque countryside with extensively landscaped grounds, manicured lawns, and scenic views. Guests can walk the grounds, fish in the lake, or play tennis on site. The grounds also feature outdoor furniture on the sun terrace, a walled garden, and a patio that wraps around two sides of the manor.

Inglewood Manor has personalized wedding coordinators who manage bespoke event packages for ceremonies and receptions. The versatile function spaces include the Ledsham Suite, the Burton Suite, and the Grosvenor Room, which can host up to 130 guests for dinner. The hotel also offers a wedding package that includes the services of a dedicated wedding manager like Charlie or Chris.
