Is there anything more indulgent than a relaxing spa break? We think we have the answer: a spa with a champagne bar.

The Hampshire countryside offers the perfect backdrop for a mini getaway and the spa facilities allow your loved one to escape from the stresses of everyday life and be pampered in style. There is an exciting array of different treatments to explore, from massage and body treatments to beauty therapies and holistic treatments.

Plus, after a day of relaxation, there are a number of on-site bars and restaurants to indulge in including afternoon tea overlooking the Hampshire countryside, an exciting brasserie menu in the King’s Restaurant and an eclectic mix of cocktails, gins and champagne served in the Atrium Bar.
