STAY

With 93 bedrooms, all with stunning views and premium features, Tewkesbury Park mixes rustic and vintage with pastel and neutral colour palettes across the interiors, plump beds and soft linens make for a perfect night’s sleep. From family rooms to historic suites to dog-friendly rooms, pampered pooches are also welcome, kitted out with memory foam dog mattresses, food and water bowls, and patio doors that lead straight onto grassy areas.

DO

The Deerpark is Tewkesbury Park’s 6,554-yard, par 72-course golf course set in stunning parkland with panoramic views, water features, cross-cut fairways, veteran oaks and well-drained manicured greens. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or someone who’s just starting out, the wide range of golf facilities can cater to your needs. 

For the more leisurely, there is a hot tub, sauna and sun deck – or book into the spa, fully loaded with Natural Spa Factory products from Bath, for head-to-toe pampering (but book ahead to avoid disappointment). There are in-room bundles to bring the spa to you, too – or if you’re looking to break a sweat, there is also a gym and an indoor pool.
