Hotel facilities

Just 40 minutes from London’s West End and 30 minutes from Heathrow Airport, the hotel combines an unrivalled location with an impressive range of facilities. Outside, a championship golf course winds through parklands, while the former stable block has been transformed into a beautiful spa and health and leisure club called Sequoia. Here, guests can choose from the striking black mosaic indoor pool, the contemporary exercise studio or the serenity of one of the treatment rooms.

The 18-hole championship golf course, host of the World Golf Championships 2006, fits seamlessly into the landscape and includes a clubhouse, golf academy and pro shop. Other leisure facilities include The Walled Garden with tennis courts, outdoor swimming pool and croquet lawn.
