Leisure Break Venue
The hotel has a range of leisure facilities and treatments, but is not a specialised spa.

Spa & Leisure
Surrounded by the grounds and design of the 19th century mansion, Peels Spa at Tortworth Court is a contemporary juxtaposition to the rest of the building. Providing facilities that include a 12 metre swimming pool, a gym, sauna and spa bath, there is space to work out before winding down.
Using JustBe Botanicals and OPI product lines they also offer a range of treatments including massages, facials, scrubs, manicures, pedicures, finishing touches, and a collection of treatments for men as well.
Hotel & Accommodation
A Grade II listed Victorian mansion in 30 acres of private gardens, Tortworth Court has a history dating back to 1343 and also played host to Queen Elizabeth II on her visit in 1978. Today the four star hotel has three key elements – its gothic architecture and its location in the famously picturesque Cotswolds, all held together by its four star service. Rooms range from Standard to Four Poster Double Bedrooms which convey a sense of historic grandeur.
There is one restaurant at the hotel – the oak panelled Moreton’s Restaurant featuring ornate archways and an impressive fireplace, which is the fine dining option; while the Atrium Bistro Bar features altogether more contemporary design and a 60 foot high atrium, morphing from light and airy for lunch and afternoon tea to a creative hub using lighting effects in the evening.

Myself and four others enjoyed a spa day here for a friends hen day, we all thoroughly enjoyed our day, the staff were friendly and our treatments were lovely (four of us had the facial and one had a pedicure) the only couple of things I would say needed to be improved was 1- the steam room was not open which we all wanted to use 2- we felt there should of been an option of maybe a choice of two menus rather than one set menu. Other than that I would recommend!
Spa treatment (facial) was lovely and therapist was great. Spa overall however was fairly minimal on facilities- pool, one jacuzzi, one sauna. Steam room was out of order. Changing rooms were nice with hairdryers and straighteners, but there was an odd smell throughout these and the area leading to them. Around the pool were only 2 chairs with footstools so that you could really relax. Otherwise there were 6 or 7 wicker armchairs. There was another group when we arrived, so we couldn't even sit by the pool, and there was nowhere else to actually sit. We had our treatments, when for a sauna and swim, but then spent the rest of the afternoon in the beautiful gardens- lucky as the weather was glorious. Not sure I'd be hurrying back to the spa to be honest, but the hotel itself is lovely, and the spa is fine if it's only part of your experience, and not the main point of it.
There here notices up to say refurbishments where happening so this will be good just a little tired looking / there was only one girl on spa reception who seemed to be doing everything including serving food bless her, more staff is needed. the surroundings are amazing and we had the weather thankfully would be lovely if they had a sun terrace from the Spa facilities but overall great day lovely food and treatments but pool/sauna etc very small on a busy day it would be overcrowded.
We had the Blissful Back package. The treatments were really good and the whole group enjoyed. The lunch was very well presented and very tasty! The only downside is they were having issues with the drains so the steam room didn’t smell particularly appealing and the seats in there look like they need updating. Best to go in the morning as the afternoon was quite busy and it’s quite limited on space
Apart from the actual treatments this spa was very poor. No one on reception when we arrived, had to get a member of the hotel staff to find someone, dirty and uncared for reception, and way too over priced! Dry floatation and absolute joke £30 to lay on a bed!!
No proper welcome, not given robes, towels or talked through the facilities just left to fill in a form. Would not recommend to anyone. Such a shame as I do not have buckets of cash to blow on spa treatments often and I have been left thinking that it really is a total waste of money.
The reception lady at the Jo was so helpful and friendly .
She went an extra mile to find out where to keep our bags since we had checked out from our rooms .
She really worked and kept being professional ,even though we kept asking and changing our treatments .she kept a smile on her face .She was awesome .
The ladies who carried out treatments I am told were fabulous and very good at there jo

We were very pleased with our stay. Allowed to check in early and our four rooms all next to each other. All the staff were delightful, eager to help and all of them smiling at all times.
The restaurant staff were also excellent at dinner and breakfast. Organised the birthday cake and sang to all the birthday celebrants in the dining room and there were several! Great atmosphere in the dining room.
We did have bills posted under our doors the next morning but the reception staff apologised and sorted out the mistake immediately.
Felt like a very basic room, quite drab decor bed was extremely uncomfortable and was way too hot. Even with both windows open it couldn't be cooled down. I couldn't open the curtains to let more air in as there was a light shining in to the room. I did not sleep at all. Some of the staff looked like they didn't want to be there and although I do understand that it was a very busy hotel, there were several weddings on, we didn't feel particularly looked after. This was a shames I had booked a spa and stay package as a special treat for my mums birthday. Part of the package included an evening meal. I had enquired if it would be ok to have it in the room following our spa treatments as we wanted to keep the oils and moisturisers on our skin for as long as possible and not wash them off to come down to the restaurant which I was told was fine although I would have to pay a surcharge which I expected and was fine with. When requested I was told that it had to come from the bar menu and not from the restaurant menu which was very disappointing. Would not want to come back.
Had a lovely stay. Staff sometimes weren’t the friendliest to be honest and were at times treated more as an inconvenience than a valued customer. But this wasn’t across the board, for example the reception staff were excellent and so were the treatment staff at the spa, fantastic level of service! Overall very lovely stay and would like to come again sometime soon.
The hotel and facilities exceeded our expectations.
Very warm and friendly staff .we received friendly welcome by Alexandru at the reception.he spend few minutes chatting to us ,we ended up being friends .
The rooms were very clean ,very spacious and well furnished .
The breakfast was fabulous ,a buffet style and you could request extras like omelet and vegan sausages .the waiters were excellent ,we could ask anything and it wasn’t a problem for them .they had smile and friendly face all the time .We were big group but that did not phase them at all.
Everything was just fabulous ,I could not find any fault .We will go back again and I totally recommend to everyone .
