The fine print
Residents to Sopwell House receive complimentary access to Cottonmill Spa from 15:00 on the arrival day until 11:00 on the day of departure. Cottonmill Spa is an adults-only spa and therefore not accessible to children under the age of 16 years. Those aged 16 or 17 years old must be accompanied by an adult, with only a limited treatment selection available.
Those wishing to enhance their experience further are welcome to upgrade to our exclusive inner sanctum; The Club at Cottonmill. Prices to upgrade are per person, vary seasonally and are only available on the day itself. Places are subject to limited availability and cannot be pre-booked or guaranteed in any way, unless you book a room type that includes The Club.
If you have accessibility or mobility concerns, please contact the property directly using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking.
Sofa beds are provided for children on request.
Meals are not included in the child package.
A pre-authorisation of £200 per night for incidentals during your stay will also be made on arrival for all bookings. Please note although the card is not fully charged at this stage the authorised monies will be held against the likely purchase. Third party payments are not accepted. The card holder must be present in order to comply with the chip and pin procedures.
Guests are required to show a photo identification and credit card upon check-in. Please note that all Special Requests are subject to availability and additional charges may apply.
