Reports claim the couple shunned dinner in the two in-house restaurants, run by Michelin starred chef Skye Gyngell, and instead chose to order food to their room and go for country walks around the property which has 400-acres of land.

Owned by Hong Kong-born American billionaire Gerald Chan, the sprawling country estate also features Bodyism fitness studio with a number of classes available.

What's more, it's claimed the couple were attracted to the hotel's locally sourced organic food.

A friend told the Sun: "Meghan is only a couple of weeks away from giving birth, so Harry really wanted to treat her.' The cheapest room in the hotel costs £300-a-night, while the most expensive - the Long Room - is £10,000.

“They wanted total rest and relaxation, and Meghan was really attracted to the organic ethos of the hotel which produces much of its own food on an on-site farm.

The source added: “It was very chilled. They went for walks in their wellies, Meghan sat on a love-swing hung from a tree and they ate delicious food.“She particularly enjoyed the hotel’s signature chocolate-coated candied orange and roasted home-grown vegetables.”
