This wonderful four-star hotel with luxury spa is the just the place to recharge your batteries and relax. Situated on the banks of picturesque Frensham Great Pond in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the contemporary hotel offers a glorious retreat indoors and out, with excellent walking from the door. Relax in the thermal area or on heated stone seating before enjoying a calming massage or facial. Beautiful glass artwork adorns the public areas, as do specially commissioned prints and striking tall velvet Porter's chairs in reception. There are some wonderful statues at the entrances and in the garden: two large marble elephants, a Buddha shipped from India and an amazing life-size copper horse and cart.
We love the beautiful views of the tranquil lake and watching the dinghies with their sails billowing in the wind.
The hotel looks out over Frensham Great Pond, with a nature reserve and the Surrey Hills close by.

We love the heated stone loungers around the pool - you're guaranteed a relaxing doze.
