Surrounded by sweeping English countryside, this elegant hotel and spa in Wallingford offers an exclusive retreat where luxury, tranquillity, and refined comfort come together seamlessly — the perfect base for discovering the charms of Oxfordshire.
With its origins in a magnificent Tudor‑style country house, at one time the home of Deep Purple front man Ian Gillan, the estate has evolved into a sophisticated haven set within 133 acres of pristine grounds. Guests can enjoy leisurely strolls across the estate, take in views of the championship golf course, or unwind at the indulgent spa sanctuary. Blending rich heritage with contemporary elegance, the resort offers a peaceful escape after days spent exploring the local area.
The beautifully restored buildings are home to the exceptional 1893 Spa, named in honour of the year the original country house was built. Designed as a serene haven, it features state‑of‑the‑art facilities, expert therapists offering tailored treatments, and a calming hydrotherapy pool complete with warm underwater ceramic beds. It’s the ideal place to relax and recharge between sightseeing adventures.
Dining reaches new heights at The Ridgeway, where guests can savour exquisite dishes in a setting inspired by the estate’s history and golfing legacy. Whether you’re seeking a relaxed meal after a day in the countryside, a cosy evening dinner, or a refined dining experience during your stay, The Ridgeway offers an atmosphere that is both intimate and inviting.
Perfectly positioned for tourists, the resort offers easy access to the historic market town of Wallingford, the iconic city of Oxford, the scenic Chiltern Hills, and the tranquil River Thames.
