LIVE 24-SEVEN AND BREATHE… FAWSLEY HALL HOTEL & SPA…


The shorter than expected drive to Fawsley Hall was a pleasant one; it’s literally a hop from Leamington and the winding driveway sets the scene for the delightful property at the end – you really do feel like you have ‘arrived’. My cousin got married here – a very posh affair – so I was delighted to be back to review the property.


Stunning grounds and formal gardens, some 2000 acres that were landscaped by Capability Brown in the 1760s add to the splendour of the building itself. Fawsley Hall was built for entertaining the likes of Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and other monarchs and as you walk through the magnificent doors and take in the delights of the grand room, you feel almost royal yourself. My suite boasted an incredibly comfortable four poster bed and a bathroom that I could lose myself in! Through the sash windows the manicured grounds were breathtaking and definitely needed exploring later!


The property boasts 60 bedrooms in three wings – the Tudor, Georgian and Victorian wings – each of which enjoys their own ambience, furnishings and character…and there are a few characters amongst the staff too who add to the fabulous service we experienced!


After what had been a crazy few weeks of events, I was looking forward to a lovely dinner and relaxing in the spa. I threw myself onto the four-poster bed and rather than switch on the TV I made the most of the views…and exhaled. It’s a romantic spot, but also very popular with corporate types. There were some private charter pilots staying in the hotel, as they use it as a base when picking up their profiled clients. It’s also a place to lunch, ladies do a lot of that here as the afternoon tea is said to be very, very good.


Dressed for dinner after spending far too long in the deep freestanding bathtub, we were greeted by staff at the Cedar Restaurant that boasts 2 AA Rosettes and a great wine list. The right level of lighting, comfy chairs and very attentive staff added to the delicious scallops and risotto that I enjoyed! It’s the little touches that matter, such as the freshly baked bread basket that is brought to your table – literally baked as you arrive at the restaurant so that it is still warm! There were all sorts of breads in the generous basket and I definitely had to restrain myself from eating too much and filling myself up prior to dinner. Compliments from all tables echoed around the restaurant, appreciative comments for the food and service. A relaxed drink in the bar post food had me ready for bed – or rather that deep, inviting bath tub again…
