Complementing the ultimately escapist vibe that the area invokes, their spa also offers a number of treatments and therapies using oskia, elemis and jessica products, and there is a relaxation lounge to recline in afterwards. The spa is also home to the spa kitchen & bar, where healthy meals and smoothies are served throughout the day.

Hotel & Accommodation

The cotswold architecture of the lygon arms is the first thing that strikes you upon arriving at the hotel which dates back to 1532. The interiors meanwhile have been sympathetically restored, keeping original features such as flagstone floors, wood panelling and stone mullions alongside contemporary additions across public areas and 86 bedrooms.

Dining at the lygon arms is a typical cotswolds celebration of local food and drink using locally sourced, seasonal produce. A relaxed and informal space, the lygon bar & grill offers a seasonal british menu with an imaginative twist, while the lygon wine bar focuses on italian and european wines by the glass, carafe and bottle as well as serving a selection of italian bites and casual dishes.
