With three outstanding restaurants, the resort caters to a variety of culinary desires, from casual dining to exquisite fine dining experiences. The Manor Lounge, with its refined elegance, serves modern British cuisine with a twist, created from the freshest locally sourced ingredients.

Dressing for dinner is a form of good manners…

We had a truly sumptuous meal here including hearty dishes such as slow cooked beef short rib with Savoy cabbage and rosti potato, and the incredibly addictive Smoked Haddock Mac and Cheese Croquettes. Dessert was a bountiful cheeseboard showcasing the best of British Artisan cheeses, complete with chutneys and crisp grapes. 

For a more laid-back atmosphere, Nineteen is a casual brasserie style restaurant offering a classic British menu, perfect for a leisurely lunch or a pint after a round of golf. Lastly, the hotel”s bright and airy deli serves Persian and other Middle Eastern dishes and is known for its craft beers and exciting children’s menus.

The award-winning healthspa at Foxhills Country Club & Resort provides an oasis of tranquility and rejuvenation. With an extensive range of treatments, from soothing massages to invigorating facials, skilled therapists tailor each session to your individual needs. The serene ambiance, coupled with the finest natural skincare products, guarantees that you will leave feeling revitalised and refreshed. I certainly felt like a new woman after my hour long aromatherapy massage courtesy of one of Foxhill’s best masseuses.

When the plunge pool is even colder than you expected…

Feeling like a smug country bumpkin in my Fairfax and Favour boots

As a born and bred Londoner, I’ve always had a great fascination with countryside hotels, so when I was invited to visit this joyous place I took my outfit very seriously. I had recently been sent some gorgeous Explorer walking boots from the quintessentially English fashion brand Fairfax and Favor and delighted in frolicking around the ample grounds of Foxhills resort wearing them. I highly recommend this brand for anyone seeking luxury British fashion with lashings of countryside chic.

While the resort itself offers ample opportunities for relaxation and leisure, its prime location in the heart of Surrey also makes it a convenient base for exploring the many attractions that the county has to offer.
