Heythrop Park

Unless you’ve got a will of iron, sticking to your exercise goals while you’re on a decadent spa break can be tough. But the fabulous fitness-fostering facilities at Heythrop Park will make being active feel like a breeze.

The fully-equipped gym will see you sculpting and toning like never before. Sweat it out on the resistance and cardiovascular machines, or lift free weights and do your own routine. Just remember that, however hard you work out, the sauna, steam room and outdoor hot tubs will be ready and waiting to boost your recovery.

But at Heythrop Park, you never need to go it alone thanks to an alphabet of group fitness classes, from aqua aerobics to zumba. Take a relaxing stroll or bike ride through the 440 acres of parkland, try Nordic walking or go on a guided gardener-led tour to learn more about the heritage grounds.

Adventurous types will love the range of daily activities on offer, like archery, croquet and golf. Or learn a new skill in a pilates or dance workshop designed to get your pulse racing. Who knows? You could leave Heythrop Park with a brand new hobby, feeling fitter than ever before. 

Whether you’re in the mood for a post-spa cocktail or a long, lingering lunch to round off your day, at Heythrop Park you’ll never go hungry (or thirsty!) for long. There are three distinctive restaurants and two bars, so there’s bound to be something to take your fancy.

Brasserie32

Fancy something fancy? Situated in a beautiful suite of rooms in the gorgeous Georgian manor house, this is Heythrop Park’s poshest dining option. Enjoy breakfast, lunch and fine dining, along with elegant afternoon teas. For dinner, choose from a menu inspired by recipes from the 1900s, like whisky glazed beef short rib with bone-marrow bread pudding and Queen of Puddings made using a Constance Spry recipe from the 1950s.

Travelling Duke Pub and Kitchen

A hotel with its own snug gastro pub? Now you’re talking. Get cosy in the Travelling Duke and dine on classic favourites such as shepherd’s pie, along with local tipples served from a timber bar.

Market Kitchen in the Orangery

Whether for a bountiful buffet breakfast or a delectable dinner, self service is the order of the day in the Market Kitchen. Located in the light-filled Orangery, just select what you want from the British classics and global favourites on offer, then fill your plate. 

Late Lounge Bar and The Brassey Bar

For aperitifs or cocktails after dinner, you’re spoilt for choice. Head to the cosy tranquility of the Brassey Bar, or the vibrant atmosphere of The Late Lounge Bar, situated within the heart of the entertainment area.

It sure does, and there’s no better way to round off your pampering spa package. Stretchy waistbands at the ready because the afternoon teas at Heythrop Park are filling. Served in the elegant surroundings of Brasserie 32 in the main house, finger sandwiches, warm scones and the cutest cakes are all temptingly displayed on a stand. You may need to ask for a doggy bag to take them all home!

Of course! There are 337 rooms with categories suitable for all tastes and budgets. All rooms feature large beds, modern bathrooms, luxe Templespa toiletries and cosy robes. You'll also find a generous tea tray with fresh milk, plus television and access to free Wi-Fi.

There are 16 unique bedrooms in the original manor house, and they’re just as swish as you would imagine. Most of the other 311 rooms are housed in Heythrop Park’s newer wings.

You can and, with 440 acres to explore, a bike really is your best option if you want to see it all. Go for a regular push bike, but if you pay a little more you can hire an electric bike. A great idea, given that the estate is a little hilly.

You’ll find Heythrop Park on the eastern edge of the Cotswolds, less than two hours’ drive from London and just over an hour from Birmingham. The nearest town is Chipping Norton.

Sorry, Heythrop Park is a Warner property and, as such, it’s adults-only.

Sorry, it isn’t. No pets allowed, except for registered assistance dogs.

Keen golfers are in for a treat here, as the 440-acre grounds are home to a championship standard 18-hole course that you’ll glimpse as you make your way up the very long driveway. Called the Bainbridge Course, each hole has a variety of tee options so you can tailor the course to your abilities. There is also a driving range to perfect your swing.
