The recently opened Vineyard Hotel, on Denbies wine estate in Surrey, wisely "doesn't ram home the wine theme", says Tim Moore in the Financial Times. The only "light prod" comes from the range of vine-sourced Caudalie toiletries. "The rooms in the new timber-clad annexe are large, bright and contemporary, with views that speak for themselves: each one is graced with a splendid overview of the vineyards, radiating avenues that cut through the chalky soil like vistas in an epic formal garden."
