For exhausted parents seeking a break, Calcot Manor, a luxury spa hotel in the Cotswolds, offers an ideal escape. Nestled on 220 acres of rewilded countryside, the hotel recently earned the prestigious title of England's Hotel of the Year at the AA Hospitality Awards 2026. It goes beyond the usual expectations of family-friendly accommodations, offering features that allow parents to truly unwind. One of the standout features is the inclusion of childcare during the stay. Guests can enjoy a "parental pause" with up to four hours of childcare per day, provided by The Playbarn, an Ofsted-registered crèche. In the evenings, a "baby-listening service" allows parents to dine while staff ensure the children are sleeping soundly. Additional babysitting is available at £25 per hour, and the staff are trained to handle everything from formula to snacks with ease. The hotel offers a variety of dining options. The Hive is a stylish café lounge that serves sandwiches, salads, and grazing boards during the day, and transforms into a cocktail bar in the evening. The Brasserie provides a more formal dining experience, offering both breakfast and dinner. Breakfast for adults and children is included in the stay, as are kids' dinners during midweek stays. However, lunch and adults' evening meals are charged separately. The spa at Calcot Manor is designed for relaxation, featuring a pool, sauna, steam room, treatment rooms, and relaxation areas. The outdoor hot tub, where guests can request a drink of their choice, is a highlight. For those seeking deeper relaxation, treatments by skilled therapists are available. Adults can also enjoy the Grain Store, a fitness area with the latest gym equipment, or attend evening yoga nidra classes in the holistic studio. Outside, guests can enjoy a range of activities, from hiring bikes and playing tennis to trying disc golf. Two outdoor play areas and a nature trail provide entertainment for children, while nearby Tetbury offers a more lively experience with restaurants, tea rooms, and weekly markets. Whether seeking relaxation or adventure, Calcot Manor offers something for every traveler.
