             <h3>
1. Pennyhill Park, Bagshot, Surrey</h3>
<a href="http://tihe.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Pennyhill-Park.jpg"><img alt="Pennyhill-Park" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-66" height="336" src="http://tihe.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Pennyhill-Park-560x336.jpg" width="560" /></a><br />

There are fewer than 10 British hotels whose chefs have been awarded 
two Michelin stars, and outside London, that figure shrinks still 
further. Michael Wignall spent five years at North Yorkshire’s 
much-loved Devonshire Arms, where he held one star, before moving to 
Pennyhill Park in 2007. Last year, Pennyhill’s restaurant, Michael 
Wignall at The Latymer, was awarded a second star for his complex modern
 European cooking which is always a work of art. There is a 10-course 
tasting menu (vegetarian or carnivorous) and seven- or three-course set 
menus.<br />
• 01276 471774, pennyhillpark.co.uk. Doubles from £215 room-only. Seven-course set menu £72<br />

<h3>
2. Cleveland Tontine, Staddlebridge, North Yorkshire</h3>
<a href="http://tihe.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Dining-room-at-the-Clevel.jpg"><img alt="Dining-room-at-the-Clevel" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-67" height="336" src="http://tihe.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Dining-room-at-the-Clevel-560x336.jpg" width="560" /></a><br />

Regulars at this seven-room hotel, built in 1804, are returning after
 completion of a refurbishment which almost topped the £1m mark. The 
Staddlebridge location, close to the A19, places it on the radar between
 Teesside and York, handy for events at Mount Grace Priory and for the 
villages of Yarm and Hutton Rudby. This is Yorkshire, so you won’t need a
 magnifying glass to see your assiette of heritage beetroot with 
horseradish ice-cream. Classics (prawn cocktail, moules, steak) co-habit
 with the likes of chilli and fennel risotto, and duck-egg custard tart 
with blackberries.<br />
• 01609 882 671, theclevelandtontine.co.uk. Doubles from £110 B&B. Three-course dinner about £36 a head<br />

3. Knockinaam Lodge, Portpatrick, Dumfries and Galloway</h3>
<a href="http://tihe.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Knockinaam-Lodge.jpg"><img alt="Knockinaam-Lodge" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-68" height="336" src="http://tihe.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Knockinaam-Lodge-560x336.jpg" width="560" /></a><br />

On a gloriously remote cove hugged by woodland in John Buchan 
country, on Scotland’s rocky south-west coast, this 10-bedroom, trad, 
privately owned hotel is also easily accessible. Vegetables come from 
the hotel’s kitchen garden and everything from potato crisps to 
ice-cream is made in head chef Tony Pierce’s kitchen. Not for nothing 
does Knockinaam Lodge have the longest-held Michelin star in Scotland – 
Pierce delivers modern Scottish tasting menus which make the most of 
Hebridean shellfish, hand-dived scallops, meat from Galloway estates and
 smoked salmon from Allan Watson at Galloway Smokehouse.<br />
• 01776 810471, knockinaamlodge.com. Dinner, bed and breakfast from £190 for two<br />

<h3>
4. The Samling, Windermere, Cumbria</h3>
<a href="http://tihe.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Fine-dining-at-the-Samlin.jpg"><img alt="Fine-dining-at-the-Samlin" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-69" height="336" src="http://tihe.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Fine-dining-at-the-Samlin-560x336.jpg" width="560" /></a><br />

This whitewashed Lakeland hotel has changed since I first visited 
more than a decade ago. Back then, all 11 gorgeous rooms were available 
only for exclusive-use bookings, so dinner was a clubby, private affair.
 Later, under the ill-fated von Essen hotel group, dining became more 
formal. Now the culinary team – headed by Ian Swainson (formerly of 
L’Ortolan and La Bécasse) with James Cross (from Noma in Copenhagen) – 
is putting The Samling on Windermere’s map for lunch as well as dinner, 
with a relaxed atmosphere and the delights of Cartmel venison and sloe 
gin crème brulée.<br />
• 01539 431922, thesamlinghotel.co.uk. DB&B from £230 for two, B&B doubles from £150<br />

<h3>
The Hambrough, Isle of Wight</h3>
<a href="http://tihe.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/The-Hambrough.jpg"><img alt="The Hambrough" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-70" height="351" src="http://tihe.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/The-Hambrough-560x351.jpg" width="560" /></a><br />

This little boutique hotel, on the southern coast of the island, has 
been described as Notting Hill on sea. Bathrooms with a view have 
certainly proved popular but it was former chef-patron Robert Thompson 
who really put it on the map by gaining a Michelin star in 2008. Now 
Thompson has left and the hotel has a new head chef, Darren Beevers, 
straight from Club Gascon in London. He’s putting autumn cooking classes
 on the menu, along with plenty of game.<br />
• 01983 856333, thehambrough.com. Dinner, B&B for two from £280.</div>
