The Hogs Back Hotel & Spa

Not far from London, there’s a swathe of English countryside that’s unexpectedly beautiful – a ‘green and pleasant land’ of rolling hills and verdant valleys. High on a wooded ridge, the Hog’s Back Hotel’s distinctive façade has been a welcome sight for travellers on this road for generations.

Resplendent in red brick, with refined good looks, it’s an imposing sight. Step inside and the accent is on classic comfort, from the stylish restaurant and bar to the spacious, light-filled bedrooms. A high-spec spa and pool meanwhile invite relaxation – or invigoration in the Hog’s Back Leisure Club gym.

The location could hardly be better. Historic Guildford and the Surrey Hills are on your doorstep, and some of the UK’s leading attractions are a short hop by car, from Legoland and royal Windsor to the thrills of Thorpe Park.
