Product Information

Seaham Hall sits on low cliffs, near a long and lovely beach — but this forward-thinking five-star, east of Durham, has never made much fuss over its sea views. Or rather, it didn’t until May this year, when it opened the two self-contained, single-storey Residences in its grounds, which gaze in wonder at the North Sea. They’re the finishing touch, completing a hotel that already has a sizeable, Buddhist-inspired spa, eye-catching bedrooms and — best of all — an exceptional chef and kitchen team. Come for the beach, stay for the food and don’t forget a walk around Durham Cathedral on the way home. If the weather’s on your side, the whole weekend will feel magnificent.

This once-neglected Braemar coaching inn reopened in 2018 after a four-year makeover that earned it our Hotel of the Year title in 2019. The new owners are Iwan and Manuela Wirth (of Somerset’s Hauser & Wirth gallery), and it was the art they installed that first hit the headlines, with a Lucian Freud casually hanging by reception and a Picasso watching over guests in the lounge. Since opening, the hotel has added a whisky bar, guided activities and an annual literary festival that was headed up in 2022 by Ian Rankin and Sebastian Faulks. It’s the place to stay on Royal Deeside. These well-established awards have relaunched last year with new partnerships, the employee engagement platform WorkL, a new look and a reinvigorated interest in finding and celebrating true champions of workplace engagement. The winners list is selected solely from the results of an employee survey. With 26 questions on topics ranging from reward and recognition to empowerment and wellbeing.There are 12 categories in total including a list of all organisations that have qualified. Four of these are based on the number of employees in your organisation: Small, Medium, Big and Very Big. The other categories are Best Places to Work for Women, Disabled Employees, Ethnic Minority Employees, LGBTQA+ Employees, 16-34 year olds, 55+ year olds and Best Places to Work for Employee Wellbeing.

While most companies won’t charge you for transferring your investments to them, others will charge you when you try to leave.

Books of the year

Mainland China now has the fourth-highest number of institutions in the top 200 (11, compared with 10 last year), having overtaken Australia, which has dropped to fifth (joint with the Netherlands). Alice Hawthorn was a racehorse that galloped to glory more than 50 times in the 1840s. These days, put your money on her namesake, an 18th-century inn in Nun Monkton which was first past the post in our 2021 hotel awards, taking the title of best bolt hole in the north of England. On arrival you will nod to cows grazing on one of the UK’s oldest working greens — despite being just a 30-minute drive from York city centre. Before you know it, you’ll be ensconced in the airy, grade II listed inn, munching your way through superior pub grub. Then it’s a choice between cosy rooms upstairs or Scandi-cool garden suites, all glass fronts, fur throws and Douglas fir exteriors.

It’s pretty much impossible to ignore the King’s Arms’ distinguished past: Thomas Hardy was a local and is said to have written The Mayor of Casterbridge in the drawing room. Since then, it has welcomed everyone from the Rolling Stones to Queen Victoria. But at this Dorchester favourite it’s also worth focusing on the present, including the warm staff who pull pints of local ale and serve moreish pub food elevated to restaurant quality. All this in a spot that puts you in easy distance of cobweb-blasting strolls along the beaches of the Jurassic Coast. Confusingly, different platforms have different names for these charges, such as service fees or custody charges. The capital’s hotel scene got an exciting injection of pace with the arrival of this pleasure palace. The urban outpost of Gleneagles, Scotland’s famous country house estate, is a cheeky reinvention of a Bank of Scotland branch office. Action centres around the Spence, the former vast banking hall whose extravagance of pink columns, intricate cornicing and showstopping cupola have been wrestled into a fabulous, informal, all-day meeting place. The 33 bedrooms are a kilt-meets-gilt ode to both their Lothian and Palladian roots. A nightcap at the spectacular rooftop bar should see you sleep through the trams rumbling by below on St Andrew Square. Project editors : Jennifer Duggan, Merrill Fabry, Lucy Feldman, Dan Macsai, Cate Matthews, and Nadia Suleman Five countries enter the ranking for the first time – all of them in Africa (Zambia, Namibia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Mauritius).

The newest edition of the Times Top 100 Graduate Employers reveals the best graduate employers, gives details of graduate vacancies and includes an assessment of how the job market has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. At first glance, Freemasons at Wiswell is your typical country inn: there’s a quaint village setting, six miles south of Clitheroe, a wood-beamed bar and four bedrooms. Yet those sleeping quarters turn out to be luxurious dens with elegant, contemporary fittings while, rather than pies or a ploughman’s, the wonderful food involves bold, bravura combinations and a four-course tasting menu. Such gastronomy typifies one of Britain’s most underrated culinary destinations, the wider Ribble Valley — where superb river, moorland or hill walks also offer a chance to balance your calorific books. There is no doubt that winning any industry award that impresses customers will also impress current and potential employees. However, is this enough? Most businesses believe it is and don’t enter separate awards to impress current and potential employees. However, if you really want to stand out to potential recruits and attract the best talent then you want awards which explicitly say “this is a great place to work”, or “we are a top employer, better than the other organisations you might consider working for.” This is the part of the process where we can really add value by helping to draft an engaging and compelling written entry. This cluster of barns and outbuildings, reimagined as a 31-room country-house hotel in 150 acres of working ethical farm outside Lechlade, is the definition of eco-chic sustainability. From its botanically themed bedrooms and seasonal-dining cookery to its flower-powered spa and spring-fed swimming pool, it provides such a persuasive argument for organic principles that even determined climate deniers will have their heads turned. To ensure its tasteful interiors remain tranquil, it is an adults-only playground. If you’re in your partner’s bad books, a day in the Botanical Bothy spa within a spa, followed by a slap-up dinner, guarantees a resumption of domestic bliss.
