Autumnal Afternoon Tea At Bishopstrow Hotel & Spa
Paul and I just returned to the UK after being in Canada for 2 weeks. And although it was so lovely to see my friends and my family. Often, many expats will find that when they return home… from their new home, they are left feeling like they need another vacation.
As I mentioned, it was so lovely to see friends and family, especially after the tumultuous and uncertain times that we have had during the pandemic. But we would be lying if we didn’t say that we both need a ‘proper’ holiday.
With saying all of that, when we were recently invited out to Bishopstrow Hotel & Spa for an afternoon tea… We took it as our mini escape into the countryside to take in some idyllic views, good food, and even better company.
Where dapper country house hotel meets hospitality with imagination, charm and spirit, surrounded by private gardens and set in glorious, rural Wiltshire.
It took just shy of an hour to get out to Bishopstrow from Bristol… And as I still have yet to see much of England, it was a lovely drive for me to take in my surroundings.
After taking a peak of the rooms on their website you can see that each one is gregarious with can't stop staring out of the window views of the sweeping Wiltshire countryside, our alluring 32 bedrooms and suites beckon you in.
We were lucky enough to get a tour around the property… And a little staycation will definitely be in order next time.
After the lovely manager showed us around the grounds we headed in to our private dome for our afternoon tea. And just to the right of us, we were able to see the inviting outdoor pool. You can get your glow back with a treatment in their deeply relaxing spa.
You can also treat yourself to a pampering, plunge into the outdoor swimming pool or get sweaty in the gym.
A little different yet still thoroughly decadent, with lanterns dripped from the ceiling to cast a soft glow across the table, creating your own cozy oasis –you can reserve one of Bishopstrow’s dining domes and be treated to a chilled glass of Tatittinger Champagne on arrival, a three-course lunch, dinner or full afternoon tea.
Great for any occasion, with an exclusive sharing style menu to make the most of your time together. And of course, you’ll have your very own dome host to take the best care of you.
What we really loved was, that they had speakers in the domes, So you could hook up your own playlist to really set the vibe!
These exciting domes can accommodate a maximum of eight guests and a minimum of four. ( They kindly accommodated the two of us ).
Children aged 12 and under may dine half price off the children's menu, including three courses. Children wishing to dine from the a la carte menu or dome menu will be charged at full price.
