Classic British Hotels is delighted to announce the addition of The Ridings Restaurant & Rooms to its curated collection. Formerly known as Theobalds Estate, this stunning estate in Hertfordshire, now under the ownership of Surya Hotels, is poised for an exciting transformation. The property will offer a unique blend of history, luxury, and exceptional hospitality, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience.
The Ridings Restaurant & Rooms, set within 55 acres of gardens and woodland, seamlessly blends rich history with comfort and style.

Additionally, the outdoor spaces, including the 20-meter outdoor pool are being enhanced to offer even greater appeal. These exciting developments will elevate The Ridings as a premier destination, catering to both business and leisure travellers alike.
