Notes to editors:
The Secret Garden Spa
This small, independent hotel has the biggest spa of its boutique competitors in the area. As part of the hotel refurbishment that was completed in May 2013, the Secret Garden Spa benefited from a £1.5 million investment. The remodelled, state-of-the-art space, at the heart of the Herb Garden, includes a 12-metre swimming pool, four treatment rooms, a relaxation room (pictured) and a thermal suite including a sauna, bio sauna, steam room, footbaths and experience showers. In April 2013 the spa announced its partnership with specialist UK brand Elemental Herbology (elementalherbology.com) – the preferred choice of some of the world’s most exclusive five-star spa resorts – becoming only the second hotel spa in England to use the products.
Hotel background
Relaunched in May 2013, the 26-room Congham Hall Hotel sits in 30 acres of parkland, including orchards and its renowned Herb Garden, which has 400-plus varieties and attracts visitors from far and wide. The modernised, 2 AA Rosette, bistro-style restaurant features much homegrown produce on its menu.
Congham Hall offers five-star service at three-star prices, in stylish but relaxed surroundings. The hotel picked up Best Small Hotel in the UK at the International Hotel Awards in November 2012 and Best Independent Hotel at the Eastern Daily Press/VisitNorfolk.co.uk Tourism Awards in November 2013.
Nicholas Dickinson and his team took over Congham Hall in March 2012. The hotel relaunched in May 2013 after completing the last phase of a major refurbishment. Nicholas has spent his entire working life in the luxury hotel business. Early on, he worked at the five-star country-house hotel Chewton Glen and Raymond Blanc's two-Michelin-starred restaurant and hotel, Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons. In 1994, Nicholas formed a partnership with Nigel Chapman, who had developed Woolley Grange in Wiltshire. Together, they created Luxury Family Hotels, which soon became the market leader in the UK for luxury family short breaks, and Alias Hotels, for the stylish mid-market corporate and leisure sectors. Both groups were successfully sold and Nicholas and Nigel went on to develop Martinhal Resort on Portugal's Algarve. This is Nicholas's first independent hotel project.
