Click for travel directions The Vineyard at Stockcross is a luxury hotel, set in the Berkshire village of Stockcross, just outside of Newbury. It holds five red stars, placing it firmly in the upper echelons of the AA’s Top 200 Hotels of the UK and Ireland, and it becomes immediately apparent why the Vineyard at Stockcross has received so many accolades – the levels of luxury, service and style are impressive to say the least, and the overall feeling is one of sumptuous elegance.

The property is situated just minutes from the M4 motorway in West Berkshire, but once you arrive at the hotel’s stunning grounds and draw up to the front entrance of the handsome manor house, the demanding pace and vexations of the outside world melt away. No matter what the purpose of your visit to the Vineyard – business or pleasure, a relaxing weekend away or an important boardroom meeting – there is something here to appeal to you. The hotel has 49 individually-designed and sumptuously appointed rooms and suites; one of the region’s finest restaurants with cuisine by a Michelin Star award-winning chef; a state of the art spa facility that offers a haven of tranquillity in which to relax and unwind; and also an impressive selection of meeting rooms for the business customer. In case you were wondering why the Vineyard at Stockcross is so named, it is because the hotel’s owner – Sir Peter Michael – has an extensive winery in Northern California, from where the majority of the hotel’s astonishing 23,000-bottle collection originated.

Fine wine, wonderful cuisine, a tranquil ambience and an idyllic setting – could there be a more perfect place to spend a romantic break? On the doorstep of the Vineyard at Stockcross is a splendid variety of scenery, historic sites and world renowned attractions: the Ridgeway Path, the North Wessex Downs area of outstanding natural beauty, the Kennet and Avon Canal and Salisbury Plain offer a perfect backdrop for a stroll in the countryside, while historic sites such as Stonehenge and Avebury Stone Circle are just a short drive away. Newbury Racecourse is just minutes away from the Stockcross hotel, where you will find a programme of top class flat and hunt racing throughout the year.
