Lucknam Park, Emblems Collection
The Bath fringe & Castle Combe · The Cotswolds
A sense of the place
Why it's in the collection
Because a Palladian mansion of 1720 stands at the end of its own drive in five hundred acres of parkland, six miles from Bath – a family home until 1987, with an equestrian center, a spa and a one-star dining room – and the house holds five-star standing, the only one in the Cotswolds distinguished at the Guide's highest level.
- A Palladian mansion of 1720 at Colerne, on the southern edge of the Cotswolds six miles from Bath, in five hundred acres of parkland; a family home until it opened as a hotel in 1987; an Emblems Collection house.
- 42 rooms and suites in the mansion and its courtyard; an equestrian center in the park and a large spa.
- Restaurant Hywel Jones holds one MICHELIN star, held by the chef for more than twenty years. Three MICHELIN Keys in the 2025 selection – the only hotel in the Cotswolds at that level; holds five-star standing.
The neighborhood
The Bath fringe & Castle Combe
The southern edge of the Cotswolds where the hills drop toward Bath, with one of the four hotels. Colerne sits on its ridge above the By Brook, the stone village of Castle Combe lies in the valley below, and Corsham and Box complete the fringe. Bath itself is six miles away, with the Roman Baths, the Royal Crescent and Bath Spa station.
- The park and its drive, from the door.
- Castle Combe and the By Brook valley, a few minutes' drive.
- Bath, its Roman Baths and the Royal Crescent, six miles away.
