The best places to stay and do in Ascot, according to the experts: the Forbes Travel Guide, Vogue, and the Michelin Guide have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. The Spa at Coworth Park comes out on top.
-
The spa sits inside a Georgian manor on 240 acres of Berkshire countryside, close enough to Heathrow that the contrast feels almost theatrical. It's the full Dorchester Collection treatment: unhurried, quietly grand, with staff who actually seem pleased to see you. The grounds border Windsor Great Park, so there's a good chance you'll spot a polo chukka on the way in, which sets the tone nicely. Vogue named it among the 100 best spas in the world.

A Georgian manor in the Berkshire countryside that happens to have its own polo field, which tells you something about the clientele. Coworth Park is a country-house hotel with 70-odd rooms spread across the main house, old stables, and outlying cottages. The spa, half-buried under a living herb garden, is a genuinely unexpected piece of architecture. Ascot is nearby, Windsor Great Park even closer, and the horses are not metaphorical.
