From sculpture gardens and private suites to an unforgettable tasting menu, Palé Hall is the perfect escape for Glossy readers who love refined style with soul.

Less than two hours from South Manchester, Palé Hall offers a rare combination: historical majesty, knockout food, and a sincere welcome. The Victorian mansion once hosted Queen Victoria and Winston Churchill and now pampers a new generation of luxury-seekers.

The 18 rooms in the main house are individually styled, but for more privacy, guests can opt for one of the three garden suites – with four more (fingers crossed) on the way.


Dining is a high point. The tasting menu rivals London’s best, with seasonal produce and poetic plating. Service is attentive but intuitive.

The grounds are tranquil and artful: wild hares, open lawns, tucked-away sculptures. And the staff? Fewer than at most five-stars, but fiercely dedicated. Palé Hall feels like staying with old friends in a castle.
