A much needed makeover has transformed this historic hotel, built for racegoers and the ‘home of fly fishing’ and a landmark on Stockbridge’s fine Georgian High Street. It now makes a most comfortable and elegant place to stay, whether fishing on the Test or simply visiting the area.
Telegraph Travel expert Fiona Duncan says: "Until now, the Grosvenor’s splendid pillared, semi-circular porte-cochère heralded a swirly-carpeted dump run by Greene King, who had a long lease from the Houghton Club. Today, the porte-cochère sports a temporary ‘beach’ with two striped deckchairs planted in sand. It’s an amusing touch and it heralds a hotel that’s now as fun, thoughtful, traditional yet colourful as its new owner, local resident and devoted fisherman Simon Henderson".

The rooms
Lottie Keith’s bedrooms and bathrooms are lovely, full of colour yet restful, with unusual fabrics, pretty ceramics, superb lighting and refreshingly un-hotelly details, such as a handmade scalloped vanity unit in palest lilac and the panelling in the charming Garden Rooms that extend across their ceilings.
The restaurant design
There are two fine-dining rooms, one a former market hall, where a beautiful verre églomisé mirror graces one end of the room, the other a cosy room in which the panelling is etched with the famous winners of 19th century owner of the Grosvenor, Tom Cannon, a champion jockey of his day.
