Three Beautiful Breaks this Summer at Hartwell House, Hotel, and Spa

Some say that a night or two at Hartwell House, Restaurant and Spa in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, is as totally relaxing and rejuvenating as a month in the country. To encourage this notion, we have three splendid packages, running from late spring through the summer.

For guests with not much time for a break, Hartwell House have for the first time put together the Night in the Country stay. This exciting package can be tailor-made to your idea of a good time. Whether you are keen to play golf at the famous Oxfordshire Golf Club, or pamper yourself in the Spa, or even spend your time relaxing in the sheer luxury of Hartwell with a glass of champagne...nothing could be better than this break.

From 1 April to 30 September 2004, Sunday to Friday inclusive, the Night in the Country package enables you to stay for just one night for £155 per person. This rate includes early morning tea, continental breakfast, and dinner, full use of the Hartwell Spa (based on two people sharing a double or twin bedded room). Upgrades are available at an extra £40 per person to include one of the following; A round of golf at the Oxfordshire Golf club (subject to availability). A half bottle of Bollinger Brut NV Champagne, or a fully body massage or aromatherapy facial.

For those with slightly more time to spare, from 1 April to 31 October 2004, Hartwell House is offering its ever popular Summer Breaks. With this break, guests can enjoy two or more consecutive nights at Hartwell House for a special rate of £165 per person per night from Sunday to Thursday, or £190 per person per night on Friday and Saturday night.
