Sunday Retreat Walton Hall Warwickshire

Crushing your exercise goals while you’re on an indulgent spa break can be tricky. But the fitness facilities at the Sunday Retreat Walton Hall will make being active feel like a breeze.

Get a fresh burst of motivation at the on-site health and leisure club. Found on the more contemporary part of the estate, there’s everything you need to work-out and wind-down. Sweat it out on the treadmills and rowers, or lift free weights and do your own routine. There’s even studio classes if you don’t want to go it alone. Just remember that, however hard you work out, the 25m leisure pool, sauna and steam room will be ready and waiting to boost your recovery.

If the gym’s not your bag, get outside for a jog or power-walk through Sunday Retreat Walton Hall’s extensive grounds. With 65 acres of glorious parkland and woodland to explore, nothing beats running past the lily-pad lake, arboretum, and Victorian garden. 

Spa days and stays just wouldn’t be the same without some delicious food to indulge in - and Oranges and Lemons Brasserie at Sunday Retreat Walton Hall Warwickshire doesn’t disappoint. This delightful bar and restaurant shares the retreat's serene countryside setting. And with French doors opening onto a pretty terrace in the summer months, it feels every bit as fresh and vibrant as its name. 

The brasserie specialises in modern British cuisine, with a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Tuck into hearty classics or nibble on contemporary creations. The menu often features seasonal specials so there’ll be something new to try every time you visit. 

It sure does, and it’s a deliciously decadent way to round off your day of pampering. Settle in to the Oranges and Lemons Brasserie and tuck into a feast of finger sandwiches, warm scones, perfectly-portioned mini cakes and more. Sip on a speciality tea or hand-crafted coffee - or keep the conversation sparkling with an indulgent glass of fizz.

Of course! Check-in and chill-out in contemporary-style rooms, tucked away in the newer parts of the property. These are even spacious one or two-bedroom apartments, ideal for families or groups thanks to additional space and amenities.

Here on a special occasion? There are 37 wow-factor rooms in the 16th-century, Grade II-listed building itself. These romantic boltholes boast period features like four-poster beds and grand fireplaces. Some even have oval baths within the room itself!

Yes it is. Sunday Retreat Walton Hall may be a sprawling estate and a period building, but it offers good wheelchair accessibility throughout its grounds. Accessible rooms are available in doubles and twins, and ramps are available elsewhere throughout the rest of the hotel.

For overnight stays, check-in is at 3pm, while check-out is 10am on your day of departure. For spa packages, arrival times vary so please check your booking confirmation.

Set the sat nav and head to Warwickshire! You’ll find Sunday Retreat Walton Hall tucked away in 65 acres of glorious grounds, between the villages of Wellesbourne and Ettington. There are lovely walks to take nearby. You can stroll to Wellesbourne, which has one of the largest open-air markets in the UK.

Robed and relaxed is the key at the spa! But most people do dress in smart casualwear at the historic hotel, particularly in the evenings for dinner at the elegant Oranges and Lemons Brasserie.

Yes it is. Kids can splash in the swimming pool and explore the grounds, plus there are spacious one and two bedroom apartments that let you all spread out. Nearby family-friendly attractions include Wellesbourne’s Chedham's Yard - a historic blacksmith's workshop where kids can get hands-on with this traditional craft and Joseph’s Amazing Camels, an attraction in nearby Shipston-on-Stour, where you can meet and learn about these elegant animals.

Got a pampered pooch and can’t bear to be parted? You’re in luck! Sunday Retreat Walton Hall is dog-friendly. Four-legged pals can check into Standard rooms, for £20 per night and your canine companion is welcome to join you in the bar.

No, there’s no golf course at Sunday Retreat Walton Hall. But you don’t have to drive too far to tee off. Jump in the car, because Stratford-On-Avon Golf Club is just 11 minutes from the hotel, and welcomes visitors to pay and play on its wide fairways.
