Babington House

I wonder, would it be cost effective to sell my house and just live here for the rest of my life? Could I do that? That would be just perfect.
Babbington House is part of the Soho House group, and swanky it is too. Doesn’t come across as pretentious though. Small and cosy lounge rooms, dining room in the orangerie, indoor and outdoor pool, gym and the birthplace of Cowshed cosmetics means there is an amazing spa on site too with a huge range of treatments.
Attention to detail seems to be a value above all others here, everything is perfect, everything is manicured, everything is worked hard to make it look like effortless luxury. It is so tranquil, even though there were obviously a large number of people there judging by the number of cars in the car park. I have no idea where they all were but everywhere we went we were alone, which was fine by us.
All rooms have unlimited Cowshed products to use and test (for sale at the shop of course) and this was a nice touch.
It is pricey, but is definitely one of those places where not a penny spent is regretted, and you are likely to crave the opportunity to return and spend more money.

Attended a wedding at Babington House last week, left my heels behind and my Dignity. Amazing.

This boutique hotel is pricey as mentioned by the earlier reviewer, however it’s a phenomenal place to unwind with your family. They are expanding the Cowshed spa area to include a gym and more hotel rooms specifically for treatments.
We went to the Bonfire Night party and the fireworks, kids entertainers, mulled cyder, hog roast, etc made it a night to remember.
If you can splash out, or want to take someone special to get engaged, go for it!

Excellent, excellent, excellent. The ultimate boutique hotel, run by the Soho House group. Set in the middle of the countryside, once you close the doors you could be in Soho. A renovated Georgian country house with Funky public areas, stylish rooms (all mod cons including DVD, Xbox, LCD TV), this place is achingly hip. Service is excellent, nothing is too much trouble and kids are really well looked after. There’s indoor/​outdoor pool. nursery and even a cinema! The Cowshed Spa is outstanding, with individual treatment huts dotted in the grounds running down to the lake. But… and there has to be one… here’s the but. Do not expect to leave having spent at least £500 per night for two people. Rooms are upwards of £250/​night and you’ll easily spend £100 on dinner & £50 on lunch. If that’s in your price range, go for it. You cannot beat this place (but at a price).
