Overview

Lucknam Park Hotel sits 6 miles from Bath's historical city center. It is one of England's most famous country hotel properties. This Palladian mansion dates back to 1720. It was kept as a family home up until 1987. The hotel is 500 acres of beautiful parkland. There are 43 bedrooms and 13 suites. A charming cottage with three bedrooms is also located amongst the estate. It combines antique furniture and modern touches, ensuring the historical rooms remain true to their past.

You will also find many leisure options for relaxation and active breaks. For example, relax in the spa or take a horseback ride around the estate. Or, learn new skills at the cookery school. You can also find a variety of facilities within the estate.

The Hideaway is suitable for all ages. It offers a safe place to spend quality time with your family and various games and activities. Guests can enjoy a balloon ride through the Cotswold countryside or picnic in the parkland. They can also engage in outdoor pursuits such as archery, falconry, and clay-pigeon shooting. Lucknam Park is a beautiful country getaway thanks to the Michelin-starred restaurant Hywel Jones and Brasserie's two AA Rosette restaurants.

Location

The manor house hotel is located on a ridge in southern Cotswolds just outside Colerne. Moreover, a little further up, you will find Castle Combe. Finally, you can drive 20 minutes to the National Trust-owned medieval Lacock or the City of Bath.

Style and Character

Guests who seek peace and pampering must travel a mile through beech and lime trees to reach the hotel. In the rooms, portraits are displayed, and the library is filled with 19th-century books. Inside, there is a quiet, dignified silence. Moreover, the courtyard is a gravel area once used as staff quarters. It leads to ponds, the spa, and a modern brasserie. There are also tennis courts and a small walled garden.

Service and Facilities

This spa is made from polished cream stone. The spa's heated outdoor therapy pool has views of the trees. There are also saunas, steam rooms, and a Japanese salt chamber. Massages use ESPA products. The cottage is suitable for children and offers age-appropriate play areas. You can also borrow bikes, and an equestrian center is also available.

Lucknam Park also has valet parking and concierge services. But book your restaurant reservations, spa treatments, and equestrian pursuits in advance.

Rooms

The traditional country house design of the 43 bedrooms is reflected in the main house and courtyard layout. They feature soft florals, mahogany, and a touch more velvet. You can choose from Classic, Park, and Garden categories. There are also Master or Grand suites (the largest).

The Classic rooms are smaller than the Garden rooms, and the Park rooms have seating areas. Moreover, the bathrooms come in a variety of combinations. This includes a shower or Bath. In addition, they have traditional deluge walk-in showers or freestanding marble baths.

Furthermore, three of the courtyard rooms feature outdoor patios. Four of them are dog-friendly. Also, one cottage sleeps six and is self-contained.

Dining

Hywel Jones is the Michelin-starred chef here. He earned the restaurant its Michelin star, so the fine dining restaurant is named after him. He's been there for many years and has created elegant culinary creations. The dining room used to be a ballroom. Children under five can have full english breakfast or afternoon tea at Restaurant Hywel Jones. However, children over five are not allowed to dine in restaurants.

The Brasserie is also located in the same building as Spa Hywel Jones. However, the Brasserie is more casual. It is an open kitchen with a wood-burning stove. It also has comfortable armchairs, wooden tables, and views of the kitchen garden.
