A Celebration of Excellence in Hospitality

We are thrilled to announce that Down Hall Hotel, Spa and Estate has been honoured as the AA Hotel of the Year 2024, a prestigious recognition of our commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences. This award is the highest accolade for hotels, with the AA inspectors commending us for our impeccable guest experience and seamless service – a testament to our dedicated and hardworking team, who continue to strive and provide a first-class offering for all visitors.

At Down Hall Hotel, every detail is thoughtfully crafted to provide you with an unparalleled stay. From our luxurious rooms to our world-class dining and personalised service, we strive to make every guest feel special.

  • Unmatched Comfort: Enjoy elegantly designed rooms with modern amenities.
  • Exquisite Dining: Indulge in culinary excellence in our 2 Rosette restaurant, The Garden Room.
  • Outstanding Service: Our dedicated team is committed to going above and beyond for every guest.
  • Exclusive Facilities: Relax in our serene spa, explore our beautiful surroundings, enjoy Afternoon Tea in our Grand Hall, or have a drink in our Fox Bar or outside Terrace area.

Over the last 24 months, the hotel has undergone a significant transformation, investing in a £1.5 million renovation across our Estate Patio bedrooms, Grand Hall, The Potting Shed dining room, formal gardens, Terrace Restaurant and Fox Cocktail Bar. In addition, a two-acre on-site Kitchen Garden has also been built, along with introducing beehives, providing locally sourced produce to the hotel’s restaurant, as well as its sister property Flemings Mayfair. The work is part of a continued project of redevelopment to further enhance our guests experience whilst maintaining the property’s historic charm.

Our team has grown from 80 to 180, whilst the hotel’s services and amenities have also been further developed. A full calendar of engaging social events has been introduced, including the popular 'Live from the Lawn’ weekend music sessions, outdoor cinema screenings, Pop + Bark dog festivals and even horse hacking events, plus an enhanced wellness programme, featuring regular yoga retreats, meditation workshops and outdoor gong bathing.
