Sanctum On The Green - The country chic boutique retreat

Sanctum On The Green, created by the team behind the funky Sanctum Soho, combines boutique luxury, rural quiet less than an hour from London, great food and surprisingly reasonable prices. 

It’s the ideal “24 hour holiday” or weekend break to ease the gaps between the annual big getaways.

This Easter the property is offering a break for two for £270 per person (based on two sharing) including the following:

- 2 nights in a deluxe room
- Handmade chocolates on arrival (best enjoyed by the pool we think)
- Full body massage in our treatment room to knead away the last of pre-Easter work stresses
- A three course dinner courtesy of executive chef John Burton-Race with a glass of bubbly or a Chocolate Martini
- Breakfast (after a lie in of course) before exploring the national trust walks in the area...or heading off to shop in the nearby towns.

Here’s a few facts:

- Nestled in the National Trust beauty of Berkshire’s Cookham Dean, less than an hour from London, this is a breather from City Life without the trek.

- 9 individually designed rooms, including a pool house and the Sanctum Suite complete with a six foot bath tub, means luxury with side order of exclusive and quiet.

- Treatment room means anyone can add a bit of spa to the break.

- A dip in the 80 degree heated outdoor pool or the hot tub, set in the gorgeous courtyard highly recommended.

- John Burton-Race is Consultant Executive chef, brings Michelin star winning experience to the restaurant serving excellent English dishes.

- Walks galore in National Trust territory, close enough for shopping in Reading and Henley and brilliant for local events from Henley Regatta and cute Spring Fairs aplenty.  Bluebell spotting in Sulham Woods washes away any “city” thoughts.

- Horse riding and kayaking easily arranged for a little activity before relaxing by the pool

Prices are from a reasonable £120 per night for a “crash pad” room to £220 for the Sanctum Suite.  All rates include breakfast, free WIFI and VAT.
