Originally built as a country escape for the Vavasour family, Wood Hall Hotel & Spa remains a place where today’s pressures seem an age away. Ever since the house was completed in 1750, it has been a place of peace and relaxation. Even today, the house stands next door to a Carmelite monastery, home to a silent order of nuns. But Wood Hall is not simply about quiet contemplation.

Set down a long private drive, Wood Hall is perched high on a hill among 100 acres, with fine views of the surrounding area. Offering 44 luxury bedrooms, a 2 Rosette restaurant and small health club and spa, Wood Hall is a place of gentle relaxation.
