Press Quotes

So many British hotels are anti the whole notion of relaxing. There are so many rules: you have to have breakfast by 10am and you have to wear a tie for dinner. But this place is stylish without losing out on the fun. I love the fact that its spa is in the old cow shed, and the treatments have names such as Knackered Cow." Times 06

“The building may be Grade II listed, but Tim Boyd has transformed the interiors into a modern, new-media style country hotel.”



The Main House of Babington House is Grade II listed early Georgian, built in mellow Bath stone with a tile roof. The architecture of Babington House on the north side has been enhanced by three large bow windows, allowing views down to the lake. Original features include the Queen Anne ornate moulded ceilings and cornices, the period fireplaces and the mahogany staircase in the lobby leading to the first floor. The original 15th-century stained glass window is above the main stairs.

There are 28 bedrooms in Babington House which are located in the Main House, Coach House, Stable Block and Lodge. All bedrooms are large, individually designed and equipped with the latest technology from plasma screens and DVD players to wireless internet access. The bathrooms have stand-alone or sunken baths, large showerheads and a full range of Cowshed bath products.

The spa, called Cowshed is a place to relax, regenerate and exercise. It is home to swimming pools, steam, sauna and aroma rooms, treatment cabins, studio and a gym.
