Brocket Hall, Hatfield, Hertfordshire. The exterior of Brocket Hall doubled as "Cranston Grange" in the Father Brown tv episode "The Oracle of the Dog" (1974).

A swan takes off from The Broadwater, an artificial lake on the River Lea, with Brocket Hall behind. Brocket Hall was built by James Paine in 1760, although there had been two previous buildings on the site, the first dating from 1239. It was the home of two Prime Ministers, Lord Melbourne and Lord Palmerston, who died at Brocket in 1865 while in office. It was later the home of the Baronets Brocket, the third Baronet converting it into a hotel, which is its current use. It is grade I listed - for listing particulars see http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=158435&resourceID=5.

The hotel has a pub, cafe/pizzeria and shop onsite. We were upgraded to a room in the City Sleeper part of the hotel which looks freshly decorated.
