From the cusp of the Cotswolds to Scotland's most northerly town, and beyond

We’re a growing collection of truly distinct hotels and venues, in handpicked destinations around the UK.

We stay true to what makes each place Original.

Whether you dream of heading to the Highlands, combing the Cotswolds, bedding down beneath turrets in Edinburgh, exploring the 'Royal County', frolicking in coastal Norfolk, or saying "I do" in a Scottish castle, there's an Original place for you.
