Why we love Macdonald Frimley Hall

A woodland spa retreat for group getaways

In the Surrey countryside, surrounded by woodland, Macdonald Frimley Hall is a Victorian manor house that was once the private abode of wildlife artist, David Shepherd. Today it's an elegant country house hotel that's perfect for getaways with friends. Here are five things we love about it.

A scenic spa hotel location

The countryside surroundings of Macdonald Frimley Hall really set the scene for a calming getaway - it's little wonder that it started out as an artist's inspiration. Rolling lawns are peppered with vibrant flowers in the spring and sunshine and mature trees border the grounds - it's the perfect place to sit and watch the world go by.

Inspiring historic architecture

The property dates back to 1882 and across the years has been the private home of multiple individuals who have no doubt enjoyed happy memories within its walls. It was owned by artist David Shepherd, known for his African elephant and other wildlife paintings, in the 1920s, and today retains a sense of heritage both in its ambience and its architectural features.

A popular restaurant

The hotel's Linden Restaurant has two AA Rosettes to its name as well as a reputation that precedes it. A romantic environment, it's arguably at its best in the evening when dinner is served by candlelight. Guests also get to enjoy The Sandhurst Bar and Gold Room for lighter bites.

A modern spa

The Leisure Club and Spa at Frimley Hall is a purpose-built space designed for modern wellbeing. Combining wellbeing facilities and spa treatments, it takes a holistic approach to health and pampering, complete with:

  • A gym
  • 17-metre pool
  • Sauna
  • Steam room
  • Poolside loungers
  • A relaxation suite
  • Five treatment rooms
  • Treatments from Elemis

Lots of local attractions

One of the great benefits of a trip to Macdonald Frimley Hall is its proximity to lots of local attractions. Top of the list includes:

  • Royal Ascot
  • Legoland
  • Chessington
  • Thorpe Park
