Describing itself as a quintessential home away from home, there can be only a handful of lucky individuals whose houses bear even a passing resemblance to Lucknam Park. A painstakingly restored 18th century Palladian mansion set within 500 acres of parkland, this is one of those rare places which has something for everyone. Whether you are looking for somewhere truly different in which to celebrate the festive season with colleagues or clients, or to host a corporate event without parallel, this multi award-winning hotel and spa ticks every box and then some.
From the moment you arrive at the foot of Lucknam Park’s mile-long driveway, lined with towering beech trees, and then drive slowly towards the beautiful, symmetrical, creeper-covered edifice at the end, you know you are somewhere very special.
Inside you will find 42 bedrooms, many with four-poster beds and picture postcard-vistas of the grounds; equally opulent and elegant public rooms boasting open fireplaces and oversized armchairs, and exemplary dining options spearheaded by Restaurant Hywel Jones.
Hywel’s eponymous restaurant – where he has retained a Michelin star since 2006 – transports you to a bygone era of glamour and sophistication. Here under twinkling chandeliers you can feast on a selection of superb menus with a focus on seasonal ingredients and local produce, including herbs picked fresh from the kitchen garden. For a more casual experience why not try the Brasserie with its menu of classic European fare such as risottos, steaks and burgers?
Offering unspoilt country house living at its very best, Lucknam Park invites you to unwind with a range of spa and well-being treatments at one of only three ESPA branded spas in the UK; to take a dip in one of several on-site pools or even to perfect your skills in its cookery school.
It goes without saying that Lucknam Park provides a truly unique backdrop for all types of meetings and events. Located just six miles from Bath, close to the M4 and less than two hours from London, it offers easy access and ample free parking. Its four elegant and flexible meeting rooms are equipped with every amenity, including free Wi-Fi.
If you can bear to step outside the four walls, a whole host of activities await, many of them tailor-made for teambuilding exercises as well as simple R&R. Feel the wind in your hair as you explore the grounds on horseback – Lucknam Park’s state-of-the-art Equestrian Centre is home to 35 glossy-flanked steeds – or try your skills at clay pigeon shooting, archery, croquet or even duck herding!
Whether your requirements are business, pleasure or a mixture of both, Lucknam Park is a tranquil haven, providing 5-star luxury at every turn.
