COWORTH PARK, ASCOT
A Country Christmas
The twinkling lights. The roaring log fires.
The smell of mince pies. Coworth Park was
simply made for the festive season.
At our rural retreat set in 240 acres
of picturesque parkland you’ll find luxurious
rooms and suites, exquisite dining and a tranquil
spa which offers the chance to do as much –
or as little – as you like.
A choice of festive activities means you can cosy
up indoors with family board games and films,
try your hand at some new activities, or head
outdoors and breathe in the crisp wintry air
with walks through the beautiful grounds.

CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR 2020
Step into our beautiful rooms and suites
and you’ll instantly feel at home. Warm
colours and soft lighting create an atmosphere
of relaxed elegance, while our deep copper
bathtubs just beg for a cosy night in.
For Georgian style with eccentric flair, the
Mansion House offers elegant rooms and suites,
while the self-contained Stables and Cottages
retain the original feeling of the country estate,
with the comfort and seclusion of your own
private residence.
And because no Christmas is complete without
a touch of sparkle, we’d be delighted to
decorate your room or suite with your own
tree, for gathering around with the family on
Christmas morning.
