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.
A refined yet relaxed boutique hotel, at the heart of the North Wessex Downs. The Retreat is where quirky British sensibility meets elegant authentic luxury. We blend the old with the new, the refined with the comfortable, and the local with the worldly.
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.
The Retreat experience is all about enjoying exceptional food and drink. We have two stunning restaurants, 1772 our relaxed brasserie and Yu, our Pan-Asian fine dining restaurant. Afternoon tea and brunch is served in our Orangery and we also have a number of fabulous spaces for private parties and social celebrations.
Both restaurants welcome locals as well as hotel guests.
The Signet Spa facilities include indoor hydrotherapy pool, mud rasul, salt flotation room, steam & sauna, state-of-the-art gymnasium, three treatment rooms and heated outdoor infinity pool. There's also a tennis court and a croquet lawn, a variety of classes and special events.
Our superb Hair & Nail Salon is open to everyone.
The beautiful setting, the décor, the food and drink, and your friendly and experienced hosts make for a winning combination. Whether it is a big birthday or the annual company retreat, we have your next event covered.
