The dapper mountaineer

The sort of places where the blend of historical building and natural beauty make you feel like striding up a mountain in a three-piece suit or a full-length dress, pausing to take a serious-faced snap with your Brownie. These places to stay with a historic charm and a touch of tradition, all inspected and selected by us, are perfect for a holiday surrounded by natural wonders. We think you’ll really hit it off together. If you have a specific requirement in mind, don’t forget to use the “Sort & refine” button to find your true love.
