The prize:

The winner and a guest will stay for two nights, on a half-board basis, at the Pointer, in the village of Brill, Buckinghamshire, which today wins the title of Sunday Times Hotel of the Year 2017.

As well as the 18th-century pub and restaurant, the owner, David Howden, has the butcher’s next door, which specialises in longhorn beef reared on the restaurant’s 250-acre farm. The country-chic bedrooms — all muted greys and whites, with sisal carpets, sheepskin rugs and Hypnos beds — are set in a four-bedroom cottage just across the road.

It’s a gorgeous place for a weekend break — the atmosphere is relaxed, the food superb, the surrounding village absurdly pretty. In fact, the cooking is so good, the Pointer has also won the Sunday Times Foodie category.
