​Time for a Staycation?

The next few months are full of Bank Holidays and School Breaks so it’s the perfect time to make the most of the extra days off work and school. Long weekends are perfect for a quick break away in the English countryside, without having to factor in a plane journey, making Stoke Park the perfect “staycation” destination!

Set amongst 300 acres of glorious parkland and nestled in the Buckinghamshire countryside, Stoke Park is the perfect place to relax in luxurious surroundings. Whether you’re looking for a break with family, friends, as a couple or for some spa-time, for fitness or to enjoy some exquisite food, Stoke Park has something for everyone...

Families:

Enjoy some time away from home in the School Holidays with a few nights in the countryside, at Stoke Park we have plenty of things to keep the whole family entertained...

Children are treated like Princes and Princesses from arrival with themed bed linen, mini Stoke Park robes, activity packs and cookies to enjoy in the bedroom. They can enjoy Splash Times in the Swimming Pool where they can make as much noise and splash around as much as they like and after exerting their energy they can indulge in Little Stars Afternoon Tea designed especially for Children!

Children can dine in any of our 3 restaurants for lunch but our fine-dining 3 AA Rosette Restaurant, Humphry’s, is for adults (Over 12’s) only at dinner. However, if your little ones are fine-diners then they can choose to order from the Humphry’s Menu and dine in the more relaxed surroundings of The Orangery.

With an Activities Field (complete with a Mini Football Pitch) and our brand new Outdoor Play Area along with all the fantastic local attractions including Legoland, Bekonscot Model Village, The Roald Dahl Museum, Thorpe Park and many many more, Stoke Park makes quite the Staycation Venue.

For the older children we have a Games Room; equipped with various Games Consoles, Televisions with Children’s TV as well as a Pool Table, Football Table and Air Hockey!

And for even the littlest of Guests we have a Crèche and a Babysitting service to ensure everyone truly gets the break they deserve. (Which means parents can choose to have a romantic fine-dining meal or perhaps escape to the spa whilst someone else looks after the children...)

Romantics:

Stoke Park exudes romance and luxury from the moment you arrive, with a sumptuous Spa to enjoy, beautiful bedrooms and suites, our romantic fine-dining Restaurant – Humphry’s and you can stroll hand-in-hand around the Estate and to the beautiful Memorial Gardens which will be starting to bloom with flowers at this time of year.

The Spa Gardens and Outdoor Sauna are the ideal way to capture some moments and memories together in the romantic Buckinghamshire countryside and with one of the ‘most romantic hotel rooms in The UK’ – it’s hard to resist Stoke Park.

The opulent and traditional, yet contemporary feel of Stoke Park as a whole lends itself greatly to couples for a Staycation and of course the delicious food served in an intimate yet charismatic atmosphere in the fine-dining 3 AA Rosette Humphry’s adds to the experience. Sip your favourite cocktails in The President’s Bar or share your Spaghetti like Lady and The Tramp in our Italian Brasserie – San Marco. Relax in the Spa Atrium, take a dip in the Swimming Pool or perhaps just while away the hours in your bedroom and enjoy your new home away from home...

Sport Lovers:

With award-winning Racquet and Golf Facilities as well as a 4000square foot Gym kitted out with the latest technology including StarTrac, Boditrax, Immersive Pod Technology and more than 50 Studio Classes a week, Stoke Park is a fantastic fitness option.

The only thing that might compromise the calorie burning is the exquisite and delicious cuisine cooked by well-known local celebrity Chef, Chris Wheeler and the decadent Afternoon Tea Stoke Park is so famous for...

However, more Tennis, Golf and Fitness Classes, some lengths in the Pool, a session with one of our amazing Personal Trainers or a long walk around the grounds will be sure to burn it off in no time!

Foodies:

We boast three amazing Restaurants – Humphry’s the 3 AA Rosette Fine Dining Option, The Orangery which is a British Brasserie and where our ‘naughty but nice’ Afternoon Tea is served daily and San Marco, our tempting Italian Brasserie.

All three dining options at Stoke Park provide an experience you will remember for a long time to come, not only are you surrounded by beautiful, luxurious decor which adds to the ambience but you will be experiencing Executive Chef, Chris Wheeler’s innovative Modern British Cuisine with a twist and European influences.

Humphry’s is must-try experience, Pizza in San Marco is to-die-for and on our decadent Afternoon Tea is irresistible – so if you’re a foodie, then Stoke Park is certainly the place to be!

As a well-known and iconic filming venue, Stoke Park has featured in many films throughout the years from Goldfinger and Tomorrow Never Dies, to the likes of Layercake, Bride and Prejudice and romantic comedies including Bridget Jones (yes, when Daniel Cleaver whisked Bridget away for that oh-so-romantic weekend away, he was indeed retreating to Stoke Park with her!) and Wimbledon.

Many more films and television shows have used Stoke Park as a backdrop and when you visit Stoke Park, you too will feel like a Movie Star!
