DORMY HOUSE

The hotel’s award-winning spa is certainly a highlight; a sprawl of herbal saunas, salt infusion and mudrooms plus a vast indoor infinity pool. As you would expect, the culinary offering at Dormy House is also superb. MO restaurant serves an eight-course tasting menu to just 12 guests, while The Back Garden showcases the very best of the region’s rich local produce. Positioned on Fish Hill just outside the village of Broadway, Shakespeare's hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon is just a half-hour’s drive away. The chocolate box Cotswold villages of Stow-on-the-Wold and Chipping Campden are also within easy reach.
