With countryside at our core, there is no better place to enjoy some rural relaxation. Our location is home to the Fritillary flower, a special flower that only flowers for a short time each year. Fritillaries were first recorded growing in the wild in 1736, with some of the best-known fritillary fields along the flood meadows of the Thames. The Spa is proud to take its name from this memorable flower. It gives people the opportunity to experience a special Spa and contemporary space, in a unique and beautiful countryside setting.
Nestled on the edge of the Cotswold’s
With stunning views across the Marlborough Downs, and the ‘first town on the Thames’, if you are looking for tranquility in the perfect countryside setting, the Fritillary Spa should be your choice to take time out and lose yourself.
Art within the Fritillary Spa
Along with the Fritillary flower, wildlife is important in our setting. In particular the Hare. The Hare has held a special place in the history of nearby Cirencester since Roman times, and the discovery of a Hare mosaic in 1971. There is now an annual March Hare festival, where dozens of brightly colored Hares appear in parks, shops, cafes and restaurants.
We felt it important also to work with a local artist and so commissioned a Wiltshire based, renowned wildlife artist, Ann Richmond, to reflect her thoughts on our Fritillary on the canvass within the spa lounge. Her artwork on wildlife, in particular the Hare, Fox and Badger, can also be seen in the spa.
