Stock Hill Country House Hotel and Restaurant is a late Victorian mansion set in eleven acres of mature and beautifully nurtured, wooded grounds on the borders of Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire. Many attractions are within easy reach, yet this Dorset country house hotel exudes calm and tranquillity as soon as you turn into its beech-lined drive. From the moment you arrive at the entrance, you can start to relax and begin to experience the comfort and hospitality once afforded only to the privileged few. Chef/Patron, Peter Hauser and his wife Nita have spent twenty years refurbishing the Victorian house and gardens to exacting standards. Today, Stock Hill's serenity and acclaimed cuisine is internationally recognised by many reputable hotel guides as one of the finest country house hotels in England, including Relais & Chateaux, AA (3 red stars, 3 rosettes), RAC (4 dining awards and gold ribbon award), English Tourist Council, Michelin (3 red houses) Which?
