About Dormy House Hotel & Spa

Dormy House stands on the escarpment above Broadway, part of the 500-acre Farncombe Estate on Willersey Hill. It began as a 17th-century farmhouse and the original stone building still forms the core of the hotel, with oak panelling, flagstones and open log fires. Later extensions have been done in a Scandinavian-influenced style, so the interiors move between traditional and contemporary as you walk through.

There are 39 en-suite bedrooms across five room styles, including six suites. Rooms vary considerably: some in the old farmhouse have beams and sloping ceilings, while the newer garden rooms are bigger and brighter, several with their own terraces. Beds are large, bathrooms have underfloor heating and walk-in showers, and the top suites have freestanding baths and separate sitting areas.

The House Spa is the main draw and has won a string of industry awards. It has an infinity pool, a hydrotherapy pool, a Scandinavian-style thermal suite with saunas and steam rooms, an outdoor hot tub and a gym. Food is served across three areas: the Garden Room for the main menu, the Potting Shed for a relaxed all-day offering, and a spa cafe. The estate has walking trails linking to the Cotswold Way.

The hotel suits couples and small groups on a spa break, and it takes wellness seriously enough that the treatment schedule is worth booking well ahead. Children are welcome in most rooms but parts of the spa are adults-only, so families should check before booking. The hilltop position gives long views west over the Vale of Evesham, and Broadway village is a five-minute drive down the hill.

We’ve just come back from the most incredible weekend at Dormy House Hotel & Spa and honestly… it was perfection from start to finish. My friend and I stayed on the House Hideaway Package, and it truly lived up to its name – the entire experience felt like stepping away from the world and into total calm. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. The staff were so warm and attentive without ever being overbearing – you instantly feel looked after. The spa itself is just beautiful. Between the outdoor hydro pool, the thermal suite, and the relaxation areas, we completely switched off. Having our massages spaced through the day meant we could really soak up the experience rather than rush it – it felt like a full day of indulgence rather than just treatments. Our room was stunning – cosy, luxurious, and exactly what you want after a day in the spa. Every little detail had been thought about, which made it feel extra special. Dinner and drinks in the evening just topped it all off – relaxed, delicious, and the perfect end to such a pampering day. ✨ This wasn’t just a spa stay – it felt like a proper reset. ✨ Perfect for a girls’ getaway, special occasion, or just because you deserve it. We left feeling completely relaxed, recharged, and already planning our next visit. 10/10 – couldn’t recommend it more. 💛

Perched at the highest point of the 500 acre Farncombe Estate, Dormy House looks out across the Cotswold hills above the village of Broadway, and the real insider tip is to come hungry, because the food is genuinely glorious. Don't miss is the proper country playground on the doorstep, where you can spend a day channelling your inner lumberjack at the axe throwing, shooting and archery before lunch. Then retreat to the spa, where a beautifully calm thermal suite and pool let you unwind every last muscle.

We were staying at The Fish hotel (sister property) but we had a lovely Spa Day package morning / lunch afternoon and really enjoyed it. The massage was super relaxing, the amenities were amazing beforehand and the lunch after was incredible. Dare I say the best fish & chips I had on the trip! We'd definitely return.

As a return visitor to Dormy House, I wanted to first of all call out the amazing team, from reception to waiting staff to spa therapists, who are just consistently wonderful and helpful with everything. From the minute you walk in, the welcome is warm and the service thorough and thoughtful. Although the spa would benefit from a larger or second sauna replacing the underused 'snow shower', I think the facilities are great. Wet areas are nicely designed and clean, treatments are excellent and the spa cafe is a great hangout spot. I do feel the need to call out that I and others I spoke to felt having kids in the spa doesn't really fit the luxury positioning of Dormy House. We were particularly conscious of this due to the extended School Holiday spa access hours for kids which were obviously not welcomed: Although there were very few parents with kids in the pool area, this does truthfully change the tone from rest and relaxation to high energy chaos for all other guests without kids - the majority of customers for the hotel. With other offerings like The Fish on the estate with more of a family friendly positioning, we felt a little kids pool there and going adult-only at Dormy would be a big improvement! If we found an alternatively like Dormy with a great restaurant and spa offering but with a strict no kids policy, that might well make us move to book there instead to be honest... Finally, unfortunately we had bad sleep in the room we were given due to the exterior door it was next to not closing properly and banging all night. Luckily staff were amazing about this the next morning and upgraded us to a much better room the following night - and we are sure the issue has since been fixed.
