HOTELS IN BUCKINGHAMSHIRE

A visit to Buckinghamshire is just a short journey away from the congestion and streets of London to the fresh air and space of this surprising county. From High Wycombe in the south, through the elegant villages around Amersham, to the modern town of Milton Keynes, short breaks in Buckinghamshire are a great way to relax and recharge without having to drive too far!

The Chiltern Hills are an Area of Outstanding Natural beauty, a landscape of rolling chalk hills, pretty villages, river valleys and woodlands. No wonder that great houses have been built on their slopes, from Disraeli's home at Hughenden Manor near High Wycombe to Berkhamsted castle. These hills inspired poets such as TS Eliot, Shelley, and John Milton, whose cottage is at Chalfont St Giles.

Buckinghamshire's great houses can house secrets too; from the wartime Enigma code breakers at Bletchley Park to the fabulous restaurant at Waddesden Manor! It's no secret however, that Buckinghamshire is a great place to live; people were enjoying the lovely Vale of Aylesbury long before the Romans arrived, or Henry VIII improved the area to impress Anne Boleyn. Whatever Buckinghamshire accommodation you choose, from peaceful Chiltern Hills bed and breakfasts to elegant Thames Valley hotels, there is always something unusual to visit just around the corner. And if shopping is more your thing on a short break, Buckinghamshire has some of the best market towns in reach of London, with elegant shops just waiting to seriously dent your credit card!
