The Perfect Autumn Night Away
10th September 2025 | 4 minute read
Seeking relaxation after a busy summer? A cosy break in the Hampshire countryside is exactly what you need this Autumn!
Enjoy Crisp Woodland Walks
There's nothing better than the feeling of golden crisp leaves crunching underfoot, and running alongside the resort is the beautiful Shipwright's Way, a fantastic walking trail.
Take a look at some of our favourite routes in the local area:
Shipwrights Way - Located outside the resort, you can access this walking route from the drive of the hotel. View the full route here.
Hogmoor Inclosure - Just a short drive from our hotel, Hogmoor Inclousure has a variety of routes and bike trails, plus a cafe and great outdoor play area.
Alice Holt - Take on the challenge of Go!Ape or go for a stroll through the woodland.
Queen Elizabeth Country Park - Offering great views of Hampshire and part of the South Downs Way, just 20 mins from Old Thorns.
Petersfield Heath - Great for a stroll before heading into Petersfield for a coffee or a spot of shopping!
Treat Yourself To Some Pampering
Guests are invited to book in for a spa treatment during their stay, choose from relaxing massages, revitalising facials and more.
Autumn is the perfect time to enjoy a relaxing massage or a body wrap! One of our favourites for autumn is the TEMPLESPA | Champagne & Truffles Deluxe Treatment, a luxury facial that combines award-winning truffle skincare with specialist lifting massage techniques that together iron out deep lines and wrinkles, help to strengthen muscle tone and reduce puffiness. The 90-minute version includes an exquisite cooling alginate mask and rose quartz massage therapy.
We recommend booking before you arrive to guarantee an appointment.
Explore Hampshire
Our countryside resort is perfectly situated near the South Downs National Park, so you can expect an abundance of walking routes, cosy countryside pubs, farm shops and villages with plenty to explore.
