It’s not necessarily high on the list of destinations for foreign visitors to England, but for a weekender from London (or Reading, or Oxford) the Thames Valley town of Goring is a logical stop. Of course you’re unlikely to be passing through on your own — if anything you’ll be here because you’ve been tempted by the Miller of Mansfield.

Which, it turns out, is not an actual miller but a hotel, or more precisely a fine little restaurant with a cozy guesthouse attached. And while from the outside it’s a very traditional 18th-century inn, inside it’s a little more complicated.

The restaurant is swanky and contemporary, with nothing in the way of country-inn kitsch. The rooms, while traditional enough in shape and layout, are eclectic in design, mixing antique furnishings with contemporary pieces, marble in the bathrooms and vibrant patterned wallpaper in the bedrooms. And while the overall package may stop short of white-glove luxury, it’s still quite plush enough to make for a cozy and romantic little escape.

Spa treatments are available in-room, and the baths are downright indulgent. And should you feel the urge to stretch your legs, you could do worse for a venue than Goring — this small town is charming, and it’s situated in the Goring Gap, one of central England’s prettiest regions.
