Make a splash this summer in spa gardens with dreamy pools and outdoor wellbeing experiences.
Read full postSurrounded by the rolling beauty of rural Gloucestershire, this expansive resort is a haven for rest and relaxation, whether you're visiting with friends or family. Here are just a few of the reasons we love it.
The Cotswolds are well known for being exceptionally beautiful and De Vere Cotswold Water Park epitomises that ideal. In the heart of the 152 lakes that spread across the unique Cotswolds Water Park, it features woodland, rivers, lakes and open countryside, home to nature reserves and alive with wildlife.
With 328 rooms as well as self-catering accommodation, vast grounds, two restaurants, children's swimming times and a warm welcome, the hotel has something for everyone. Visit with a group of friends, as a couple or with the family for a relaxing escape to the countryside.
There are two restaurants at the hotel, perfect for different moods and times of the day. The Brasserie is casual and contemporary, serving foodie favourites from dawn ‘til dusk and with a pretty terrace for outdoor dining in the summer. Meanwhile, The Old Boathouse brings pub vibes to your getaway, serving British classics and a buzzy atmosphere.
Spa 6 at De Vere Cotswold Water Park is a destination in its own right, with a vast array of facilities to enjoy and an impressive view of the great outdoors. From the hydro swimming pool surrounded by heated loungers to the steam room and relaxation suite, there's plenty of space to relax and unwind.
The cherry on top of your spa experience has to be the treatments, from manicures and pedicures in the Champagne Nail Bar to shared mud rasuls and total tranquillity in the dry flotation room. Facials, scrubs and massages are not to be missed, using skincare products from TEMPLESPA.
The surrounding grounds are not only beautiful to see, but are indicative of a world of exploration and entertainment. Get outside for a stroll or a cycle, or head to nearby destinations for wakeboarding, sailing and horse riding. Popular activities range from shopping in Cheltenham or Bristol to a trip to Cirencester Park Polo Club.
