Get out of town for some relaxation: Surrey Hills in one of the area’s most luxurious hotels

When lockdown eases we are getting out of town for some relaxation amid the gorgeous Surrey Hills in one of the area’s most luxurious hotels

Tired of waking up to the same old cityscape and the noisy hustle and bustle of urban life?

City-dwellers are no doubt longing for a change of scenery right now – and the peace and quiet of the countryside is calling those in need of solace.

Nestled in the Surrey Hills lies the solution to this predicament.

Sprawling across 123 acres of unspoilt grassland and forest, Pennyhill Park Hotel & Spa welcomes all for a getaway of truly luxurious proportions in breathtaking surroundings.

Walks, tennis – or pure indulgence 

Just an hour away from London, this idyllic, ivy-adorned country house hotel has everything one needs for a relaxing escape.

In the hotel’s grounds, guests will find tennis courts, nature trails for cycling and walking and a state-of-the-art fitness centre, so everyone from couples to families will find something to enjoy – and all to the backdrop of the gorgeous Surrey landscape.

Step inside the hotel and be embraced by cosy period rooms, each of which combines its own unique traditional design with modern features such as Nespresso coffee machines, walk-in showers and Aquavision TVs.

Make your stay as comfortable and as far-removed from city life as possible. 

Plus, with 24-hour room service, you can leave all your troubles and responsibilities at the door for a truly restorative stay – let someone else do the hard work for a change.

When you can pull yourself from the room, wander downstairs to treat yourself to Michelin-starred dining with Steve Smith at Latymer.

Tuck in to the likes of tender Herdwick lamb served with salty-sweet anchovies, broccoli and artichoke or melt-in-the-mouth mistral poulet. 

 Why not opt to make it a pairing course for the ultimate taste experience?

Find a blissful sanctuary 

If casual is more your thing, don’t fret – there are the Brasserie and Bar, as well as an award-winning afternoon tea from acclaimed pastry chef, Sarah Frankland for those more relaxed occasions. 

And to ensure all the senses are indulged, guests can find their centre in The Spa. 

Here, you’ll find eight indoor and outdoor pools, as well as hot tubs, herbal steam rooms and hydrotherapy pools, giving you the option to truly unwind alone or with that special someone.

For a complete detox, sign yourself up for a session in the spa’s Oxygen Bubble. In this exclusive place, you’ll breathe air that is 99.995 per cent pure oxygen filled with delicate aromatic notes. 

The result is an exquisite journey for mind, body and soul, and you’ll leave feeling completely rejuvenated and purified.

This is how country getaways should be done.
