Whilst feedback suggests that rooms in the main house are far superior to those in the garden lodges, the general opinion is that the 17th Century Combe Grove Manor Hotel in Monkton Combe has done much to earn its four-star status as a luxury spa hotel. The hotel can be found just three miles from the city centre, nestled in a handsome 69 acres of private gardens and woodland with breathtaking views of the Limpley Stoke Valley. If you’re the kind of woman or just with the kind of woman who loves a bit of pampering from time to time, then Combe Grove Manor is a match made in spa-heaven.

The hotel offers a comprehensive and intelligent range of beauty and spa treatments including tanning treatments, Jessica Nails manicures and pedicures, aromatherapy skincare, neck and shoulder massage, full facials, mini facials.

For those coming to the city with a little more energy you may want to take advantage of the squash and tennis courts, fitness centre, and indoor and outdoor swimming pool. And for those who simply prefer to sit around, eat and be merry there is always the Combe Manor Georgian Restaurant, with its panoramic views across the Limpley Stoke Valley and the more modern Eden Brasserie. There are also some fine real ales on offer too.
