It has been tagged ‘Britain’s coolest new country house hotel’.

It is the new 18-bedroom ‘House at Beaverbrook’ which has just opened on the 400-acre Beaverbrook Estate near Leatherhead in Surrey.

House at Beaverbrook is the latest stage in the larger ‘operation Beaverbrook’ to transform the estate of the late Lord Beaverbrook into a luxury country house hotel and golf club.

House at Beaverbrook features bedrooms named after its most famous guests including Winston Churchill, Ian Fleming and Elizabeth Taylor. It also includes a cutting-edge Japanese restaurant, an Art-Deco cinema and a Roaring Twenties bar.

House at Beaverbrook joins the Grand House on the estate which opened last autumn with 11 bedrooms, a restaurant and a cookery school.

A spa with indoor and outdoor pools, steam room, sauna, hammam and nail bar is expected to open at the end of the year.

The estate’s large lake is also being developed for trout fishing.

The Beaverbrook Estate is located just south of Leatherhead in Surrey.
