## **SLEEP SOUNDLY HERE: The Wild Rabbit Inn, Oxfordshire**

Michelin-starred chef Alyn Williams, known for his acclaimed London restaurant Alyn Williams at The Westbury, has joined The Wild Rabbit Inn in Kingham as chef patron. As if that wasn’t reason enough to book a table, those looking to pay a visit should check into one of the inn’s three new cottages. In keeping with the local Daylesford style, the rooms combine luxury with pared-back simplicity: each cottage sleeps four and is beautifully furnished with a fully equipped kitchen, AGA, living area and private garden.

In celebration of the Fitzwilliam Museum’s current exhibition *Virginia Woolf: An exhibition inspired by her writings*, the newly reopened University Arms is offering visitors the chance to pair a trip to the gallery with an overnight stay in the Woolf Suite. The namesake suite celebrates the writer’s work and comes complete with a personal library curated by Heywood Hill, one of London’s leading bookshops. The room is finished with a portrait of Woolf, while hints of Cambridge Blue, bespoke furniture and a statement chandelier help retain a classically Cambridge feel. Alongside a 110-cover restaurant, the hotel is also home to a 61-seat bar and a library which serves its ‘Historical Cambridge Afternoon Tea’ daily. A great spot for a winter weekend away.
