A Day at Lucknam Park

Morning

Awaken to birdsong and mist rising over the fields. Enjoy a country breakfast of farm eggs, toast, and jam before a gentle horseback ride or stroll through the gardens.

Afternoon

Spend the day at the spa, immersed in herbal steam and natural light, or enjoy afternoon tea in the drawing room beside a crackling fire.

Evening

Dinner at Hywel Jones is an event in itself—every dish a modern ode to British heritage, paired with fine wines from the estate cellar.

Night

Your suite feels like a storybook—soft fabrics, warm lamplight, and the deep quiet of the English countryside.

Insider Tips for Lucknam Park

• Don’t haul your luggage—the car park is a short walk from reception. Pull up to the front entrance, drop your bags, and let the valet team handle parking. 
• Avoid using just “Lucknam Park” in your SatNav. Make sure you input “Lucknam Park Hotel,” as otherwise you can end up on narrow, winding B-roads.
• No air conditioning in most rooms, and few fans available. In warm months, request an upstairs room for better airflow, or ask the hotel to provide a fan.
• Book spa treatments early—the spa is popular with day guests as well as hotel visitors.
• The spa has no Netflix or streaming on TVs—so bring a book or enjoy screen-free downtime.
• Breakfast isn’t included in some rates and can be expensive—check at booking.
• Bring good walking shoes or boots—the estate paths can be uneven after rain.
