Champneys Tring

Champneys Tring was the resort that started it all and is commonly known as its flagship. Situated in West Hertfordshire, just 1-hour and 15-minutes from central London by car, here you can enjoy a fantastic staycation in an English country house. Enjoy a walk through 170-acres of rolling parkland, unwind in one of the 62 treatments rooms or break a sweat in one of the two fitness studios… the choice is yours. There are also two tennis courts where you can share the love while the sauna, steam room, plunge pool and 25-metre swimming pool will fill the hours with plenty of R&R. Bedrooms at Champneys Tring offer plenty of countryside charm merged with modern flourishes. Think floral curtains and mahogany furniture mixed with a bright green headboard and contemporary cushions.

Champneys Forest Mere

The Forest Mere property in Hampshire boasts a phenomenal location. Found in the village of Liphook next to a lake, this secluded resort is ideal if you want to get away and switch off from the world. After a recent refurbishment, the Thermal Poolside Suite is easily one of the best drawing points of this hotel, housing a relaxation area next to the swimming pool which omits a log cabin feel. Heated water beds, a crackling fireplace and cosy fur throws… it’s wonderful for a winter escape or when the temperatures drop. The Deluxe Suites have also seen a complete redesign. Inside you’re greeted with an open-plan living room and double bedroom that leads out to a large balcony accompanied by views of the forest and lake. Add into the mix a white marble bathroom, a lounge and dining area complete with a log burner and you have yourself a magical accommodation choice.
