Spa & Leisure
The spa at Bowood Hotel and Spa is all about understated elegance. There is a sauna and steam room, a café in the reception area, and four treatment rooms. There is also a pool, Jacuzzi and a gym almost entirely constructed of glass, which means that you swim, soak or cycle into the verdant green of the eighteen hole golf course outside.
The spa promotes harmony of mind, body and soul. Its luxury range of quality beauty treatments are performed by experienced therapists. From an express facial, to full body massages and holistic experiences, there is just the tonic for you. The spa also offers manicures, pedicures and even waxing for a quick beauty fix.
Hotel & Accommodation
In the grounds of the eighteenth century estate, the Bowood Hotel and Spa is a contemporary addition that fits elegantly into its historic setting. Inside it combines a modern palette of greys and jewel tones with the grandeur of huge swathes of fabric and enormous pelmets, and everything feels very open – even standard rooms have high ceilings, and lots of natural light. Bowood House and Gardens have been in the Landsdowne family for over 260 years, and their historic grounds are certainly a sight for sore eyes. Please note, however, that the House & Gardens are closed between November and April, therefore guests access to them is restricted at these times.
When it comes to dining, there is a café in the reception area which also extends outside in the summer months, serving a light menu and Dosha boxes which are tailored according to your aforementioned consultation form. For more formal meals there is also a restaurant in the hotel next to the bar – views naturally are of the golf course, which also has its own brasserie in the club house.

This was truly beyond the expectations I had of a Spa Day. We were treated with kindness, and real care in an environment which just whispered "relaxxxxx' within its very essence! The standards of everything were impeccable and the environment was beautiful. We had a wonderful day, and we will most definitely be back!!!
It was disappointing. I would not say this is a value for money spa day.
The staff did not seem particularly happy, it was disappointing that only half of my lunch was served to me, I did not receive a fruit platter as the package describes.....
the venue was not as prestige as I was expecting, windows looking out on to the golf course from the (not very warm) jacuzzi were dirty. However, I still had nice day.
From the moment we arrived we were welcomed and received very good service from all the staff who were friendly and helpful.
The whole experience was relaxing and focused on our well being and the massage was brilliant.
The afternoon tea was one of the best I have had and we were able to take home what we could not eat.
A very enjoyable experience

This was one of the most beautiful hotels we have stayed in. Everything was 'pucker' and even in those corners behind a sofa, etc, it was all pristine! The staff went out of their way to be helpful, particularly in reception. We will recommend it to anyone we know who is looking for a restful break in a beautiful hotel in beautiful surroundings.
Loved every moment, the included option of free entry to Bowood House itself was a real bonus, really interesting and the trip across in the buggy avoided the 20 minute walk in the rain . Delicious dinner and breakfast and we did not think the drinks were over priced considering the quality of the hotel .
Lovely room overlooking the golf course. Very comfortable; there was even ice in the bucket ready for the bubble. The bathroom was beautifully appointed but let down by an ill-fitting, cheap loo sea. The room was well soundproofed from adjoining rooms but unfortunately not from the corridor.
The staff were all without exception, friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and, unusually , I ate 3 courses 🐖!
Would definitely recommend for a relaxing break.
Staff are brilliant. Facilities are great. Bedroom was very good but not much hot water to have a hot bath.
Food was great but for me being on a plant base diet I think more options need to be available for example alternative nut milks cooking things in oil rather than butter and making more vegan options on the vegan/vegetarian menu..
Apart from those tiny little things it was a brilliant stay and would come back again. :)
