A working farm, a collection of restaurants and a countryside hotel rolled into one, Tewinbury really has got it all going on. Spread across 700 acres of Hertfordshire countryside, the estate is home to a mix of farmhouse rooms, converted barns and lakeside lodges, alongside woodland huts with wood-fired hot tubs and tucked-away shepherd’s retreats. There’s also the impressive private-hire Kingsbridge Estate (perfect for long weekends and celebrations) which boasts its own garden, cinema room, bar, gym and hot tubs.

And that’s not all. This spring sees the arrival of Farm Fit, an indoor/outdoor gym set inside a converted farm barn. You’ll find bookable wellness sessions from strength sessions to yoga, cold immersion and seasonal workshops plus open barn workouts and aerobic classes.

You certainly won’t go hungry here either with menus focussing on British produce, much of it grown nearby or sourced through trusted local suppliers. First up there’s The Granary Kitchen for hearty breakfasts and laid-back lunches while The Cowshed restaurant serves up refined British cooking and a legendary sunday roast.

Afternoon tea overlooks the river while The Stable Bar offers a quieter corner for drinks. Finally there’s The Farm Yard, a covered outdoor event space for live music, drinks and street food. Fancy honing your own culinary skills? Well, you can with a hands-on cookery experience.

A countryside escape, Tewinbury is also a unique place to hold your wedding, celebration or corporate event with plenty of riverside barns and flexible meeting spaces to choose from – plus it comes with gorgeous open countryside as backdrop.

You’ll find all this just off the A1(M), 15 minutes from Luton airport and only 35 minutes from central London – did we mention Tewinbury even has its own main line train station (Welwyn North) with direct links to Kings Cross? Yup, it really has got it all going on!
