In search of a dreamy babymoon getaway? Donnington Valley Hotel offers the perfect romantic retreat for parents-to-be

Situated in the heart of the Berkshire countryside, just outside Newbury, you’ll find Donnington Valley Hotel & Spa – a beautiful, privately-owned estate that’s surrounded by stunning landscaped grounds.

Built in the early 1990s, the building is decorated with ivy and sits adjacent to an expansive 18-hole golf course, so even though it’s only a 10-minute drive to the cute market town of Newbury, you’ll truly feel as though you have escaped when you stay here.

Marble bathrooms and Egyptian cotton sheets feature in each of the simple yet elegantly furnished bedrooms, with bath robes and complimentary slippers provided, too. You’ll also find a separate shower and mini-fridge in your luxury abode, as well as a gorgeous lounge area and flat-screen TV.

In the spa, you’ll find a Jacuzzi, decent-sized pool, and several steam rooms, as well as an aromatherapy room where you can rest while inhaling pleasant herbal essences.
