Chakra Spa at Crowne Plaza Felbridge Gatwick

Like to gym as well as swim? You’re in luck. The boutique gym may be small, but it’s crammed with everything you need for a top-to-toe workout. Open every day from 6:30am until 9:30pm, you can lift free weights or sweat it out on the bike and treadmill.

But if you fancy a bit of vitamin D while you workout, the hotel has plenty of ways to sweat in the sunshine. Lace up your trainers because the Crowne Plaza Felbridge Gatwick is surrounded by beautiful countryside. 

Just a mile and a half away is Hedgecourt Lake, an ancient mill pond and the largest body of semi-natural open water in east Surrey. Alongside the lake is a nature reserve with many different plant and animal species to explore. Or take a stroll around Wire Mill Lake. Two miles away, it’s perfect for fishing, walking or water skiing. 

Whether you fancy a pre-spa latte, post-massage cocktail or a delectable date night dinner, the hotel’s restaurant and bar make an elegant place to relax. Super chilled but with a nice buzz in the air, you’ll love the relaxed ambience.

Sip an aperitif or munch on a bar snack at Qube Bar. Found on the ground floor of the hotel, you can sink into an armchair and enjoy a sumptuous afternoon tea.

When it’s time for dinner the Bay Tree Restaurant is cool and contemporary, with cosy booths to sink into. With dishes packed with international classic cuisine and sprinkled with British flair, your taste buds are in for a treat. The menu is so varied you’ll find it hard to know what to pick! Our top tip? The mouthwatering steak, the mac & cheese croquettes, the chicken schnitzel and the ice cream are all to-die-for!

Reviewers also rave about the Bay Tree breakfasts. Everything is replenished regularly and there’s even a Virgin Bloody Mary stand!

Yes it does. Water babies will have plenty to occupy them thanks to the warm and inviting 10m indoor swimming pool. Kidney-shaped, guests rave about the fact that it’s heated to the perfect temperature. There’s also a bubbling Jacuzzi to unwind in. 

After your swim, pull up one of the comfortable loungers. Even when the spa is busier there are plenty to go round. Our tip? Opt for one of the loungers near the doors to listen to the birds chirping and get a lovely view into the garden.

It does, so get ready to check-in and chill-out. From Guest rooms to Club rooms, many have lovely views over the garden. Premium rooms come with deluxe toiletries and bathrobes, but all 116 rooms feature super comfy beds, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and luxurious linen. 

Yes it is, with several features to ensure a comfortable stay for guests with limited mobility. The hotel has three conveniently located bedrooms specifically designed for wheelchair users. These rooms have wet rooms with roll-in showers and pull cords. Wheelchair-accessible lifts are strategically positioned throughout the hotel, allowing easy access to the restaurant, bar, and spa facilities.

You can check-in anytime after 3pm, while check-out time is 11am. For spa days at Chakra Spa, arrival times vary, so check your booking confirmation for full details.

With a semi rural location amongst some stunning countryside, Felbridge has a handful of local shops. For a more extensive variety, jump in the car and drive five minutes to East Grinstead. Its bustling High Street is crammed with quirky independent shops and posh eateries. And its claim to fame is that it has one of the longest continuous runs of Tudor architecture in the country!

Yes it is. With family rooms and menu for picky eaters, the hotel itself is fabulously family-friendly. Children aged 12 and under can even enjoy breakfast at half price to fuel them for a day spent exploring. The Ashdown Forest is just a 25-minute drive, and there are adventure parks and National Trust properties on its doorstep.

At Chakra Spa, the minimum age for treatments and use of the thermal suite is 17. But children are welcome to use the swimming pool between 8am and 10am and 6pm and 9pm (subject to change).
