The Retreat is a newly re-imagined 18th-century country house hotel & spa set in magnificent grounds, with two stunning restaurants, located between the historic towns of Hungerford and Newbury, in the heart of rolling West Berkshire countryside.
Since opening in June 2022, The Retreat has become a vibrant local hub and destination of choice for tourists and businesses from all over the world, and was recently named as Britain's Best Hotel by The Times and the Sunday Times, topping their list of the Top 100 Places to Stay in the UK.
Step into one of our colourful, warm and inviting bedrooms or suites. Antiques mixed with playful textures and art lend soulfulness and unique character to every bedroom.
