The beautifully-designed Calcot Spa is situated in a quiet corner of Calcot Manor’s grounds in the Cotswolds. The highlight is the indoor pool flooded with natural light while the neutral artwork and furnishings reflect the surrounding countryside. The outdoor courtyard is a special place to be: take a dip in the outdoor hot tub or lounge around the crackling open fire. Spa delights include Comfort Zone, Aromatherapy Associates treatments and CACI facials. Calcot is an indulgent place to unwind.
