Coworth Park: Scenic 240-acre Georgian country estate in Ascot with Michelin-starred Woven by Adam Smith, polo fields, and eco-spa

Set amidst 240 picturesque acres of rolling Berkshire parkland and wildflower meadows bordering Windsor Great Park in Ascot, Coworth Park opened in September 2010 as the Dorchester Collection’s only country house hotel. Dating back to 1776 as an elegant Georgian manor, the 71-room estate combines English aristocratic heritage with pioneering contemporary design. Featuring the UK’s only hotel polo club with two regulation polo fields, a semi-submerged architectural eco-spa with a living green grass roof, and an 18-metre indoor pool with underwater sound systems, Coworth Park redefines modern British countryside escapism.

Arrival introduces travelers to idyllic English country luxury: personal hosts greet guests in the light-filled Drawing Room beside open log hearths with traditional Berkshire cream tea. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating equestrian and royal pursuits: private polo masterclasses and horseback riding across 240 acres of private bridleways, exploring the Long Walk to Windsor Castle (just 10 minutes away), attending the Royal Ascot races, and reserving a culinary journey at the Michelin-starred Woven by Adam Smith.

Estate leisure balances polo action with restorative wellness: The Spa at Coworth Park is an architectural eco-sanctuary submerged into the meadow hillside, featuring an 18m indoor pool, thermal steam rooms, and botanical treatments by Carol Joy London. Dining spans Michelin-starred modern British gastronomy at Woven by Adam Smith, relaxed brasserie dining with rustic barn fireplaces at The Barn, and afternoon tea in The Drawing Room.

Accommodations comprise 71 rooms and suites distributed between the historic Mansion House, the converted Stables, and the standalone Dower House (ranging from 35 to 300 square metres). Each room features bespoke British furnishings, freestanding copper soaking bathtubs, gas or log fireplaces, king beds, and views across wildflower meadows.

Equestrian connoisseurs, romantic couples, and culinary enthusiasts seeking 240-acre Berkshire countryside luxury, Michelin-starred British dining, and top-tier spa wellness just 45 minutes from London should book Coworth Park without hesitation. Travelers seeking urban nightlife or high-speed motorways should look elsewhere.
