How to Treat Yourself in Swindon

As the warmer months edge closer and holiday soon rolls around, it’s the green light for many of us to think about how we can treat ourselves and enjoy a little relaxation, or excitement, away from the stresses of work.

And while many will plot trips overseas to explore far off lands, others are choosing to holiday closer to the home or, better yet, keep their money in the local economy and make the most of some of Swindon and Wilshire’s most illuminating attractions.

Whether it’s a spa break, or just a couple of nights somewhere a little more scenic, there’s truly no shortage of opportunities to treat yourself, your partner and your family – if you fancy bringing them along! – all without rifling through drawers for your passport or spending hundreds on flights.

While relaxation’s great for some, others desire something a little more thrilling to help them escape the monotony or slow pace of life behind the desk. And there’s no shortage of adventure, even without heading too far from home.

For a stretch of the legs and a literal breath of fresh air, many choose a Cotswolds getaway, and there are many hotels and accommodation options that allow you take in the area’s splendour.

The Swindon Marriott Hotel provides the perfect anchor point for exploration, whether that’s heading for greener pastures or for more urban adventures in the town and enjoying a few drinks, a nice meal or even a night at the casino.

Casino experiences are no longer the domain of the super-rich and glamorous, and it’s now easier than ever to enjoy an immersive gambling experience without clocking up the air miles and heading for Vegas. Whatever your game, from classics like blackjack or roulette, to the modern vibrant variety of Videoslots games, the thrill of the spin is not as far away as it once was.

The Marriott is one way to enjoy a taste of this classic luxury, while destinations like the Jurys Inn, The White Hart Inn, and The Red Lion suit a tighter budget and are located perfectly for you to explore our region’s wonderful leisure distractions.

If relaxation is your top priority, however, then little can beat a spa break getaway, whether that be for a day or even a couple of nights. Swindon and the surrounding areas are home to an impressive selection of facilities to suit a range of budgets.

Located in Colerne, Lucknam Park is highly rated by visitors for its levels of luxury and excellent value. Lucknam offers wonderful country space, including a three-bedroom county cottage and more than 40 available rooms and suites. The 500 acres of parkland offer guests the opportunity to completely escape, while the spa and pool facilities are modern, spacious, and inviting.

Elsewhere, you may also consider the Bishopstrow Hotel & Spa or the Bowood Hotel and Spa, which boasts an outstanding golf resort for enthusiasts who’d like to add an active edge to their next relaxing getaway.

Whatever you plan for relaxation or excitement this year, we hope we reminded you that you should never overlook the treasure that might be waiting for you right on your doorstep...
