Set in the rolling Berkshire countryside, Donnington & Co. marks a fresh new chapter for a much-loved country retreat. Formerly Donnington Valley Hotel & Spa, this privately owned estate has been thoughtfully reimagined, bringing together contemporary style, warm hospitality and a sense of quiet luxury that feels effortless and inviting. Easy to reach yet wonderfully removed, it’s a place designed for slowing down, restoring balance and enjoying life’s simple pleasures, beautifully done.

From the moment you arrive, the refreshed reception and communal spaces set the tone: crisp, modern interiors softened by warm copper and amber hues, creating an atmosphere that feels both refined and reassuringly familiar. The hotel’s 111 bedrooms and suites have been carefully updated to offer a spectrum of experiences, from understated comfort to indulgent escapes. At the very top end sit the Splendid Suites, where generous proportions, refined design and thoughtful details create the ultimate setting for rest and relaxation.

Dining lies at the heart of the Donnington & Co. experience. At Press, the signature restaurant, seasonal British produce takes centre stage in menus that are relaxed yet quietly indulgent, perfect for both intimate dinners and celebratory evenings. After a restorative night’s sleep, mornings begin with an unhurried breakfast.

The spa remains a cornerstone of the estate and a true sanctuary of calm. Light-filled and serene, it offers a carefully curated menu of treatments using TEMPLESPA and Germaine de Capuccini products, blending science-led skincare with deeply soothing rituals. Whether you’re unwinding in the tranquil facilities or enjoying a tailored treatment, every element is designed to help you pause, breathe and feel renewed.

With its blend of modern elegance, heartfelt service and a peaceful countryside setting, Donnington & Co. is a refined retreat that lingers long after you leave.

Competition closes on 1 April 2026.
