Burnham Beeches Hotel and Spa

Keep-fit fanatic? Burnham Beeches makes it easy to get your fitness fix. Whether you’re chasing a PB or just want to stretch your legs in style, this countryside retreat has you covered.

Start off in the boutique gym, where you’ll find a Peloton bike, Shua interactive treadmill and a Magic Fit AI mirror that delivers personalised workouts on demand. Prefer your cardio in the fresh air? The hotel’s bike hire service lets you explore the surrounding countryside and woodland trails at your own pace.

Anyone for tennis – or pickleball, or padel? For those who like their workouts with a competitive edge, the outdoor courts are beautifully maintained and available to book. Equipment hire is available too, so there’s no need to pack your racket.

The hotel’s ten-acre grounds are perfect for a morning jog or a post-breakfast stroll. But just five minutes away you’ll find the Burnham Beeches nature reserve, some 926 acres of ancient woodland with walking trails, wildlife and plenty of space to roam. 

From breakfast through to dinner, dining at Burnham Beeches is as warm and welcoming as it is delicious. Whether you’re catching up over cocktails or settling in for a romantic supper, the hotel’s beautifully redesigned spaces offer something for every appetite.

At the heart of it all is Brasserie 1727, a light-filled space that’s as much a feast for the eyes as your tastebuds! With chic monochrome floor tiles and contemporary interior decor, it champions seasonal British cuisine in a setting that’s elegant without being stuffy or formal.

Fancy getting fancy? For those seeking a more classic ambiance, The Arden Room has a quieter, more intimate setting. Once Burnham Beeches’ fine dining destination, it still wears its heritage proudly. Expect rich, dark wood tables, deep blue walls and sweeping curtains that frame the dramatic decor.

Afternoon tea is a historic treat at The Evergreen Tea Room, where dainty sandwiches, warm scones and delicate pastries are served with lashings of Georgian charm. Overlooking the hotel’s landscaped gardens, it’s a quintessentially English experience that hasn’t changed since royals and aristocrats chinked their best china together.

Looking for somewhere more casual for a cocktail? The newly-designed Verdure Lounge Bar is open from morning to late. Sit up at the bar, admiring the chandeliers and garden views. In warmer months, the terrace beckons, for al fresco drinks with a view of the grounds.

There sure is, so pack that swimming cossie! Burnham Beeches Hotel & Spa has a lovely indoor swimming pool. Blissfully warm and 8m in length, it’s perfect for a few leisurely laps or simply unwinding in the water. 

Alongside the pool, you’ll find a Jacuzzi, traditional sauna and a steam room. Whether you’re easing into your day or winding down after a treatment, it’s a peaceful spot to relax and recharge.

There is, and many of our Burnham Beeches spa deals include a night’s stay as part of your treat. Your room for the night will be one of the 79 stylish bedrooms, each one thoughtfully designed to reflect the hotel’s woodland setting. Some are in the original hunting lodge, and others are in the newer wing. But all boast calming colour palettes of forest greens, warm neutrals and rich textures, with botanical wallpaper and plush furnishings that bring the outside in.

Spending the night? Check-in opens at 3pm, while check-out is at 11am, so you’ve still got time for one last croissant. Want to arrive early? The hotel will do their best, but can’t promise your room will be ready. If it’s not, you’re welcome to drop your bags at reception and dive into the spa instead. Craving a lie-in? Late checkout is yours for £20 an hour if they’ve got the space.

Morning and day spa packages at Burnham Beeches typically begin at 9am, with afternoon sessions starting at 1pm and twilight packages from 4pm. But arrival times can vary, so it’s best to check your booking confirmation for the most accurate details.

Burnham Beeches Hotel & Spa enjoys a peaceful, leafy setting in East Burnham, nestled on the edge of the Burnham Beeches Nature Reserve. So easy to get to, this tranquil location offers the best of both worlds: a countryside escape that’s still within easy reach of London.

The hotel is just a short drive from Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead, making it a convenient base for exploring Royal Windsor Castle and the Thames Valley. It’s also well-connected, with Burnham Station (on the Elizabeth Line) offering direct trains to Paddington and Reading.

Just five minutes from the hotel, the Burnham Beeches Nature Reserve offers a huge expanse of ancient woodland. Film fan? You might recognise the scenery! Burnham Beeches appeared in Harry Potter movies, and stood in for Sherwood Forest in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

For a spot of stately-home grandeur, head to nearby Cliveden House, a National Trust estate with stunning gardens and a fascinating past. Art lovers can visit the Stanley Spencer Gallery in Cookham. But if you prefer shopping to culture, the boutiques and independent stores in Marlow and Henley-on-Thames are calling you!

This countryside retreat knows how to keep the whole crew happy. Hive Family Rooms can accommodate two adults and either two children under 10 years, or two adults and one child over 10. Little ones can splash about in the indoor pool during family swim times, and spa-loving teens aged 16 and 17 can enjoy 25-minute spa treatments, too.

There’s plenty for little ones to do beyond the spa. The hotel has tennis courts for a family game, and the 10-acre grounds are perfect for hide-and-seek or a bike ride. Nearby, you’ve got Windsor Castle, Legoland Windsor and Odds Farm Park all within easy reach for mini travellers.

Yes, it is. Ground-floor accessible rooms in the newer part of the hotel feature wet rooms. There’s a lift in the newer wing of the hotel, too.

It’s a yes from them! Four-legged guests are welcome for £35 per pup, with one dog allowed per room. Expect tail-wags galore thanks to tasty treats, a puppuccino from the bar and a water bowl waiting outside the door for post-walk refreshment. Just pack their bed and a few toys and they’ll soon be living their best country-house life.

Burnham Beeches doesn’t have its own golf course. But you don’t have to travel too far to tee off, because Burnham Beeches Golf Club is right next door – and it’s a bit of a gem.

Founded in 1891, the club offers a beautifully maintained 18-hole, par-70 parkland course set on the edge of the historic Burnham Beeches woodland. It’s known for its mature trees, fast greens and peaceful setting. It’s a members’ club, so weekend access is limited, but visitors are welcome on weekdays.
