About Champneys Henlow

Set along the banks of the River Hiz on 150 acres of Bedfordshire countryside, Champneys Henlow is a health and beauty spa resort just an hour from London. The Georgian-style mansion embodies a late 18-century aesthetic, with upholstered furnishings, hand-painted interiors, and Venetian mirrors, and remains true to its 40-year history as a health farm, offering guests a wealth of fitness and pampering pursuits.

The on-site spa offers original holistic and beauty services that date back to the spa's conception; guests can also unwind in the thalassotherapy pool, laconium, and steam room or work out in the gym, tennis court, or swimming pool.

All stays at the 71-room country retreat include healthful meals, select spa amenities, use of the all resort facilities, and daily programming of classes and activities.

The River Hiz and lush Bedfordshire grounds provide a picturesque backdrop to many of Champneys Henlow's leisure and recreational activities.
