As the former residence of press baron Lord Beaverbrook, the English country house hotel—which recently provided the backdrop for Arsenal and England hero Declan Rice’s British Vogue shoot—has a pretty storied past. For the last decade, however, it’s been in the hands of hoteliers Ollie Vigors and Joel Cadbury, part of the family that founded the beloved British chocolate brand. It’s now divided into the main house—with suites that contain nods to famous former guests—the Garden House, and the more contemporary Coach House, which houses the luxury spa. The pair tapped Van Eyssen, an alum of famed Asian hospitality brand Aman, to curate the spa’s program, which reflected her thoughtful and holistic approach to wellness. While the hotel itself projects an old-world grandeur, the spa, a converted stable, has a more down-to-earth charm, making it a perfect spot for Mr and Mrs Holland to wind down after their staggeringly busy early summer.

Beaverbrook is home to four restaurants—the Japanese Grill is Vogue’s pick—a cinema, tennis courts, and 470 acres of grounds, with roses, daffodils, primroses and cherry blossom in abundance. There’s also a range of artisanal, locally sourced, and small-batch wellness brands available to browse at the spa’s shop, including the likes of Therapi, a sustainable skin-care brand that supports bee conservation—founder Tanya Hawks is an ethical beekeeper. The spa also has its own line of tincture blends created by medical herbalist Jo Dunbar in collaboration with Dos Santos.
