Thoresby Hall Hotel

Let’s face it. Sticking to your fitness goals on a spa break isn’t always easy. But at Thoresby Hall, staying active feels less like a chore and more like a treat. With a fully equipped gym, resistance machines, cardio kit and free weights, you can work up a sweat, before slipping into the sauna or steam room for a well-earned recovery session.

Solo workouts aren’t your thing? Not a problem. Thoresby’s new wellness programme includes a full calendar of group classes, from calming yoga and sound baths to energising aqua aerobics and pilates. 

Outside, the landscaped grounds offer space for Nordic walking, heritage tours and countryside strolls. You’ll also find classic Warner activities like archery, rifle shooting and dance workshops. So whether you’re chasing endorphins or just trying something new, Thoresby Hall makes moving feel magical.

Whether you’re after a post-spa Prosecco or a long, luxurious lunch, indulgence is always on the menu at Thoresby Hall. With elegantly refurbished dining spaces, cosy bars and seasonal refreshment stations, you’ll discover something delicious to get your teeth into.

The Blue Room 

The jewel in Thoresby’s culinary crown, The Blue Room has taken over from Brasserie32 as the mansion’s signature dining space. Housed in the original drawing room, it pairs Victorian decor with modern British cuisine. Expect heritage-inspired dishes, elegant afternoon teas and a menu that nods to the past while celebrating the present.

The Sherwood Restaurant & Market Kitchen 

Located in the light-filled Orangery, this relaxed buffet-style venue offers British favourites and global classics. Whether it’s a hearty breakfast or a laid-back dinner, just pick what you fancy and pile your plate high!

Manvers Bar & Live Lounge Bar 

For drinks and downtime, head to the newly refreshed Manvers Bar for daytime tipples and countryside views, or the Live Lounge Bar for cocktails and conversation before the evening’s entertainment kicks off.

It sure does. Afternoon tea is a highlight here, especially when served in the elegant surroundings of The Blue Room (formerly Brasserie32). Expect finger sandwiches, warm scones and dainty cakes, all beautifully presented and perfect for a post-spa treat. Stretchy waistbands are highly recommended.

Of course. Thoresby Hall offers 221 rooms, including luxuriously refurbished suites in the historic manor house and stylish modern rooms in the newer wings. Expect comfy beds, modern bathrooms, Templespa toiletries, robes, fresh milk on your tea tray and free Wi-Fi throughout.

Yes it is. Thoresby Hall offers wheelchair access, lifts in key areas, reduced mobility rooms and accessible facilities. However, the estate is large and spread out, so guests with limited mobility may wish to contact the hotel in advance to ensure a comfortable stay.

For overnight stays, guests can arrive from 11am to enjoy lunch and explore the grounds, though rooms are available from 3pm. Check-out is by 10am, but you’re welcome to linger until midday. Spa package arrival times may vary, so always check your booking confirmation.

You’ll find Thoresby Hall in Nottinghamshire, on the edge of Sherwood Forest, just a short drive from Newark, Nottingham and Sheffield. It’s easily accessible from the East Midlands and ideal for a countryside escape.

No, there’s no formal dress code. But most guests opt for smart casual, especially for dinner in The Blue Room. Spa robes are welcome in the wellness areas, of course!

Warner Hotels are cashless, so bring your debit or credit card. Room accounts are set up at check-in, and any extras are charged to your account and settled by card.

Thoresby Hall is part of the adults-only Warner Hotels collection, so it’s perfect for grown-up getaways and peaceful pampering.

Sorry. Unless you’ve got a registered assistance dog, this is a human-only zone.

There’s no full golf course at Thoresby Hall, but that doesn’t mean golf-lovers have to go without. You’ll find a pitch and putt course on-site that’s perfect for brushing up your short game. If you’re keen to play a full 18 holes, there are several excellent golf courses nearby, including Hollinwell Golf Club and The Nottinghamshire Golf & Country Club, both within easy driving distance.

But golf is a small part of what’s on offer thanks to Thoresby Hall’s fabulous array of outdoor activities. Try your hand at archery, meet some feathered friends with a falconry experience, or enjoy a leisurely game of croquet.
