The Hotel

Nestled in 400 acres of lush Hampshire countryside, the four-star Old Thorns Hotel offers eclectic-style accommodation and a spectrum of amenities designed to provide relaxation and fun during the stay. The history of the hotel dates back to the 1940s. Since then the place was transformed several times but it still allures guests with its old charm. The venues constitute an ideal base for exploring what the region of Hampshire has to offer. Holidaymakers can take long walks through the Hampshire countryside, engage in one of the local activities and explore Portsmouth, set only 30 minutes away.

The hotel boasts a choice of comfy rooms and apartments, all featuring light colour tones and some colourful decorations. They all feature private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs and tea- and coffee-making facilities.

On site, guests can enjoy a round of golf at an 18-hole championship course, relax in the spa area or indulge in some dining in one of the hotel's restaurants. Kings Restaurant serves up classic British cuisine, while drinks may be enjoyed at the Champagne Bar.

The Spa Treatment Bed Experience

Relaxation-seeking guests can unwind and recharge with a pampering session on the hotel's new spa treatment beds.

Lay back and be transported into pure relaxation with a Wellness Treatment Bed massage experience, using warmth, water jets, ambient lighting and sounds. Warm water jets hit the underside of the soft bed in even movements. They massage the body from head to toe while you float almost weightlessly on the dry surface, enjoying the soothing warmth and gentle power of the water.

With soothing sounds, warmth, and vibrations, the Mindful Therapy Bed lets even the busiest minds wander into a deep relaxation. Using vibrational therapy and audio frequencies this experience is akin to meditation. Flowing through the headphones, the calming sounds help to slow down your mental activity, allowing you to experience a calm state of zen.

Groupon's Guide To Hampshire

Naturally rich in waterways, wildlife, and rugged terrain, Hampshire offers historic attractions and a mix of outdoors activities such as horse riding, river rafting, and coarse fishing.

Travellers may head to Jane Austen's House Museum revealing memorabilia and artefacts that once belonged to the novelist, while a historical outing can commence with Winchester Cathedral, where her tomb lies. Straying off the beaten track, consider dipping into the ArtSway Gallery, where a rotating collection of local and international artworks are displayed in a special New Forest space. A taste of the high-life can be enjoyed at the Southampton Hall of Aviation where a vast collection of vintage aircrafts can be explored, along with the considerable sky-gliding heritage of the Hampshire coast.
