A new era of wellbeing
Following a significant redevelopment, our all-new outdoor wellness village is open - a transformative space set within our 30-acre Wiltshire estate that reimagines what a spa can be. Here, thermal contrast therapies sit alongside outdoor bathing, alfresco fitness, and nature-led experiences, all woven into a living landscape designed to restore, invigorate, and inspire.
Whether you're arriving for a spa day, a wellness break, or staying as a guest, the Spa Garden is yours to explore. Soak, sauna, plunge, breathe, move, and simply be.

Spa breaks
RECHARGE YOU
As the seasons change, so does the way we slow down. Find your perfect wellness escape and plan your next Bishopstrow break - a night or two spent entirely in your own good company.
Discover our new sanctuary
Embodying the spirit of an immersive spa village, our outdoor facilities are designed to encourage curiosity, connection, and deep restoration - move between spaces at your own pace, guided only by the rhythm of the day.
At the heart of the Spa Garden is thermal contrast therapy: the transformative practice of moving between heat and cold to stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation, and leave the body feeling genuinely renewed.
The garden itself is designed around nature, not just set within it. Locally inspired planting creates distinct wellness zones, with herbs and botanicals linked directly to our spa treatments - so the experience begins the moment you step outside. This connection to the land extends into our Forest Bathing sessions, where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover the restorative power of simply being in nature.
Outdoor swimming pool
Our 14-metre outdoor pool invites you to swim beneath open Wiltshire skies - an unhurried, meditative experience that connects you to the landscape around you. Heated and open through the seasons, it's a place to lengthen your stroke and let your mind follow.
Vitality pool
Step into our 8-metre outdoor hydrotherapy pool, where warm, jets-infused water works gently on tired muscles and busy minds. The perfect complement to a treatment, or a destination in its own right.
Hot Tubs
Choose from a selection of outdoor hot tubs - each offering a private, unhurried retreat for soaking, breathing, and letting go. Settle in and watch the garden change around you. Private hot tub experiences also available.
Sauna
Our spacious outdoor sauna is designed for the full experience. Large enough to host sauna classes and communal rituals, it's a sociable, restorative space where the ancient practice of heat becomes something to share. Arrive early, take a seat, and let the warmth do its work.
Cold plunge
After the sauna, the cold plunge awaits. Step in, breathe through it, and feel the invigorating reset that only cold water therapy can deliver. That sharp, clarifying moment - the contrast - is where the real magic happens. Your body will thank you.
How-to-spa
We hope your time with us is both relaxing and rejuvenating. This guide will help you make the most of your stay and help us together create the warm, tranquil community that makes Bishopstrow so special.
Arriving & settling in
Pack light
Your stay is a time to relax and forget your worries. Bring a bathing costume or two, sun cream, a hat, and a good book for warmer days in our gardens. We provide robes, towels, and flip flops so you can feel completely at ease. Swimwear is a must if you’d like to enjoy the pools and thermal rooms, and we’d recommend trainers and sportswear too if a visit to the gym is on the cards.
Arrive a little early
Please arrive at spa reception 10 minutes before your treatment so we can dedicate the right amount of time to you. Your locker will keep all belongings safe ideal if you’re staying for the day and joining us for dinner. The spa itself is open daily from 7am to 9pm, with treatments available from 10am to 6pm Monday to Saturday, and 9am to 5pm on Sundays.
Leave jewellery at home
A wedding or engagement ring is perfectly fine, but your therapist will ask you to remove anything else before your treatment begins. We’d hate for something precious to go missing.
Let us know if you’re expecting
Please advise us at the time of booking if you or anyone in your party is or may be pregnant. Certain heated areas are not recommended, but we offer a beautiful range of treatments for mothers-to-be.
Making the most of your treatments
Warm up in the thermal suite first
For maximum benefit from body treatments, spend time in our sauna or steam room beforehand. This relaxes your muscles, opens your pores, and begins the beautiful ritual of unwinding.
Know the pool hours
Our indoor pool is open all year, 7am to 8.45pm. Our outdoor pool is heated to a balmy 28°C and open all year round — do call spa reception on 01985 804699 for specific timings.
Exercise before, not after
If you plan to use the gym, fit this in before your treatments so you can fully enjoy the relaxing benefits that follow. The gym opens at 6.30am - a lovely way to get an early start before the day unwinds. Let the rest of your day be exactly that: rest.
Stay hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day and after your treatments to keep your body well-hydrated. It is where the magic of a spa day continues long after you leave the treatment room.
Our shared sanctuary
Step away from your screen
The spa is your escape from the stress and speed of daily life. Please keep mobile phones and tablets out of treatment rooms and the relaxation lounge. Free Wi-Fi is available in all bedrooms, should you need to stay in touch.
Speak softly, move gently
The relaxation lounge, thermal suite, and pool are places of quiet. We ask that conversations are kept to a gentle murmur and that laughter and energy find their natural home in the gardens or bar. Your consideration creates the calm that everyone here has come to find.
Be mindful of shared spaces
Please keep personal belongings tidy and be conscious of the space you take up, particularly in the thermal suite and around the pool. Sunbeds and loungers are for use, not reservation if you’re stepping away for a treatment, please return your towel so others can enjoy the space too.
Respect the rhythm of the day
A spa day has its own quiet pace. There is no rush here, and we gently ask that you carry that spirit with you, allowing others the same unhurried ease. Slow down at doorways, be patient in the thermal suite, and treat every corner of the spa as the restorative space it is meant to be.
Children and little ones
The spa is an adults-only environment, designed to offer complete stillness and restoration. We ask that children remain in the hotel’s family spaces, where they can play freely and joyfully. This allows every guest in the spa to experience the tranquillity they have come to find.
Kindness goes a long way
Our team are here to make your experience exceptional. A warm word of thanks, patience during busy moments, and a gentle manner with fellow guests- these small things shape the atmosphere for everyone. We are all in this together, and that is rather a lovely thing.
Carry the calm with you
Around you, others have come seeking the same thing: stillness, restoration, a rare permission to simply be. You are a part of that gift for them, just as they are for you. Soft voices, gentle movements, and a quiet awareness of the tranquillity we are all here to find. This is the unspoken agreement of the Bishopstrow community, and it is what makes this place truly special.
If you have a question, a preference, or simply need a moment of guidance, please just ask. We are here for all of it.
The Bishopstrow Team
The Borehole
Did you know we also have a unique water supply collected from our own borehole that feeds the spa? Extracted from deep underground and filtered through limestone and natural activated carbon, it arrives in perfect condition. It's then filtered and sterilised a second time before being ready for consumption throughout the hotel.
Pure freshwater from deep beneath Wiltshire. Incredibly good for you - and something you can taste. Just try the water here for a surprisingly healthy and refreshing experience that all our guests enjoy.
