A drawbridge ushers you across a lily-dappled moat, the oldest still functioning around a residential building in England, towards the enchanting New Hall Hotel & Spa. This remarkable 13th-century manor, reputedly the oldest listed inhabited moated house in the country, began life as a hunting lodge for the Earl of Warwick and has since hosted royalty, including a rumoured visit from Henry VIII. Its crenellated towers and mullioned windows whisper tales from over 800 years of history, with many original features like 16th-century oak panelling and Flemish glass lovingly preserved. Set within 26 acres of richly timbered land and elegant gardens in Sutton Coldfield, this Grade I listed building seamlessly blends its medieval magic with luxurious modern comforts, offering a truly unique escape.
Within the 60 individually furnished bedrooms, historic charm meets contemporary luxury, with some rooms boasting original fireplaces, cornicing, and arched windows, while suites offer magnificent four-poster beds and separate living areas. The award-winning 2 AA Rosette Bridge Restaurant serves a modern British menu, championing seasonal and locally sourced ingredients within a heritage dining room adorned with stained glass and warm wood panelling. For ultimate relaxation, the New Hall Spa, nestled in the enchanting gardens, features an indoor pool, sauna, steam room, and offers a range of indulgent treatments including facials, body wraps, and massages using Comfort Zone products. The extensive grounds also house a 9-hole golf course, tennis courts, and provide a serene backdrop for afternoon tea or simply unwinding.
