Coworth Park

Coworth Park in Royal Berkshire is a top spot for an upper-class pampering break: the 70-room hotel is set in a vast 240-acre estate and has a first-rate spa, excellent restaurants including one overseen by John Campbell and an equestrian centre.

But the spa’s the main draw for many guests. The building has been designed to be both sustainable and to have minimal environmental impact and as well as being partly sunken into the ground, its been constructed from wood with lime hemp walls and even has herbs growing on its ‘living’ roof. As much care has been taken over the selection of interior activities and luxe treatments, which include pregnancy packages, treatments for men and Thai massage.
