Calcot & Spa
South West England Gloucestershire Tetbury
- From £299 a night
- 35 Guest Rooms & Suites
- Country House Hotel
A high-end country house hotel with loads of facilities that's great for both kids and grown-ups
We love a country house hotel, and the great thing about Calcot & Spa is that it delivers everything you would expect without standing on ceremony – and doesn't expect you to do so either. So, while it occupies over 220 acres of prime Cotswolds countryside and has 35 beautiful guest rooms filled with all manner of luxury items, you don't have to be on your best behaviour to enjoy it. Plus they positively encourage families, and have all sorts of things for kids to enjoy. We like that – it reminds us that we live in the 21st century while spending the weekend acting up as landed gentry.
The rooms themselves are very stylish indeed – airy, spacious and well equipped, with ultra-comfy beds, satellite TV, fruit and snacks, and bathrooms with powerful modern showers, fluffy robes and tellies, Aromatherapy Associates products and sometimes a freestanding bath too. Twelve adult-only bedrooms are located in the main building, the remainder – including family rooms – can be found in the grounds. The hotel also has a beautiful spa with a great indoor pool, a gym, a steam room and a sauna, plus any number of treatments to enjoy – and lots of packages if you're after a thoroughly pampered weekend away. While you're doing that the kids can enjoy the Playbarn for little ones (guests receive four hours of free childcare per little one each day) or The Mez, which has XBoxes, Playstations and other activities for older ones, while there's also an indoor and outdoor pool (the latter is open May-October) and bikes on offer for more outdoors types. Celebrating a big Birthday? The Barn is the ideal spot; a rustic chic space complete with a pretty courtyard and firepit that can host anything from an intimate gathering to a feast for up to 120 people.
On-site, there's also the Grain Store, a fitness, well-being and holistic retreat that's home to a spin shed, high-tech gym equipment, studios and a café. And there are over 220 acres of rewilded land to explore, whether it's walking a nature trail, finding out about the hives from Martin the beekeeper, or owl-spotting. At the end of an active day (or relaxing, depending on your mood), there's also an excellent restaurant, The Brasserie, and The Hive, a casual all-day spot serving snacks, so you never need leave the womblike confines of Calcot & Spa at all, unless it's to visit their nearby sister hotel, The Painswick. Or why not visit their northern cousin Lord Crewe Arms.
