Down Hall Hotel & Spa unveils £1m renovation

Down Hall, the 110-acre country house hotel, spa and estate in Essex, has announced a new phase of investment, dedicating £1m to expanding and elevating its luxury offering. 

Building on recent extensive renovations, this next stage introduces three new features: The Woodland Table, an immersive alfresco dining experience; a brand-new Garden Spa retreat, designed around holistic wellbeing; and The Charles Gardens, an expansive landscaped setting for outdoor weddings and events. 

The Woodland Table

The first of these developments is The Woodland Table, a new alfresco dining concept set within the hotel's picturesque grounds. Launching in July, it has been designed to celebrate nature, seasonality and the art of fire cooking. It is available for corporate events, weddings and exclusive ticketed dinners throughout the summer months. 

"We are incredibly proud to unveil these latest additions to the Down Hall Estate," says Linden Beattie, the hotel's general manager. "This new phase of investment underscores our commitment to continuously enhancing the guest experience while preserving the character and charm of our historic property. 

"Whether dining beneath the canopy of The Woodland Table, finding tranquillity in our new Garden Spa Retreat or celebrating milestones in The Charles Gardens, we are redefining what it means to escape to the English countryside. Down Hall is now a true destination for luxury stays, extraordinary events and exceptional dining."
