UK hotel with so many activities that fans call it ‘a cruise ship on land’ has stays for £195

A UK hotel has so much to offer that it has been nicknamed a ‘cruise ship on land.’

Set on 440 acres of parkland in the Cotswolds, the property features three restaurants, cosy lounge areas, entertainment venues, hot tubs, a spa, and even an 18-hole golf course.

Heythrop Park Hotel, the latest addition to Warner Leisure’s collection, has undergone a £40 million transformation to its 300-year-old Grade II-listed building.

The hotel offers 337 guestrooms, each with scenic views — though not of the ocean.

As with all Warner’s holidays, these adult-only breaks include breakfast, dinner, and access to a range of activities and entertainment, all at no extra cost.
