It’s not every day you get the chance to stay on a private island in the Thames, but that’s exactly what’s on offer at this gorgeous hotel – housed in two pavilions dating from 1723. Rooms combine the elegance of that era with marble bathrooms and views over the river, while the indulgent floating spa offers a range of massage treatments on a luxury barge.
