Sopwell House - The Perfect Autumn Staycation in the English Countryside

Secreted away in the Hertfordshire countryside, yet only a stone’s throw from the glamour of London, Sopwell House is a gem of a country getaway with a lineage dating back to the beginning of the 17th century. The house has played host to nobility and royalty, including such history-makers as Prince Louis of Battenberg, and carries an air of distinguished grandeur to this day. If you have a taste for historic character combined with lavish relaxation facilities and delicious fine dining experiences, Sopwell House and Cottonmill Spa might be exactly what you’re looking for this autumn.

Sopwell House’s expansiveness becomes apparent from the first step onto its premises. The house itself is a beautiful whitewashed Georgian manor with three centuries of history behind it, which can be felt in each of its 112 exquisite rooms. Set within gorgeously landscaped gardens, created by Ann-Marie Powell, an RHS Chelsea and Hampton Court Palace Flower Show Gold award winner, and separate from the main hotel, the Mews Suites offer luxurious accommodation for those seeking more secluded lodgings.

Wherever visitors choose to spend their country retreat, they will find themselves well catered for during their entire stay. Sopwell House’s 2 AA Rosette restaurant offers gourmet dining on Friday and Saturday nights, and guests are invited to enjoy afternoon tea in the twelve acres of Hertfordshire countryside that make up the grounds. It is believed that Prince Andrew proposed to Alice, the late mother of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in these very gardens.

Alongside Sopwell House’s vintage elegance, Cottonmill Spa offers visitors cutting-edge relaxation facilities. Guests at Cottonmill are free to make use of a 14-metre indoor pool, two hot tubs, a sauna, a steam room, a poolside terrace and The Sitting Room. After a rejuvenating treatment, guests are invited to rest and enjoy a cup of tea in the Rose Relaxation Room. True spa enthusiasts can upgrade to The Club at Cottonmill - with its three floors of saunas, steam rooms, experience showers, relaxation spaces and a gorgeous indoor/outdoor hydro pool which opens onto the spa garden, it guarantees to provide you with a spa experience to remember!

Whether your passion is in history, sophisticated spa treatments, or that unique rural English charm, Sopwell House and Cottonmill Spa can deliver an experience in luxury that is certain to stick with you long after your stay!
