Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa

What Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa does

Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa is a privately held, 4-star heritage hotel and spa operating from a Grade 2 listed 19th century manor house in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, on the gateway to the Peak District. The property sits within 6 acres of award-winning formal gardens, restored since 1998, surrounded by 29 acres of parkland, and includes a two-acre Victorian Kitchen Garden supplying produce to the on-site Coach House Restaurant. The business is structured around five core revenue streams: accommodation across Standard, Executive, Classic, Deluxe, and Suite categories; food and beverage including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea service; the Garden Secret Spa, the first 5 Bubble rated spa in Derbyshire; weddings and corporate events across multiple suites with capacity from 10 to 400 guests; and a seasonal Christmas and themed events programme.

The company markets and sells almost entirely direct-to-consumer through its own website, dedicated phone lines for sales, weddings, spa, and conferences, and a monthly email newsletter, with room bookings routed through Best Western's integrated platform and spa bookings via onejourney.travel. The wedding vertical is supported by a curated ecosystem of recommended suppliers (florists, photographers, musicians, stylists, transport), and the property accommodates traditional, Asian, and international weddings. Pricing is per unit across published menus and packages, ranging from £6.95 cream tea to £329pp two-night spa retreats and quote-based residential delegate rates.

The underlying technology is non-proprietary: no AI, app, API, or custom platform is operated; the firm relies on third-party booking integrations and standard hospitality software. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, the company is independently owned with no parent company, and employees are reported in the 51-100 range. Notable reputation assets include the East Midlands in Bloom Gold Award in 2016 and 2017, the 4 Star hotel rating, and the 5 Bubble spa rating.
