And guess what? You can even book into Utopia Spa from April 12th too. A spa break before May 17th? Yes, it’s possible – if you’re quick! The two-bedroom Gatehouse has a gorgeous open plan kitchen, living and dining space, soaked in natural light courtesy of the orangery-style conservatory, with a secluded patio for BBQs and lounging. The styling and finish is everything you would expect from Alexander House, with Temple Spa bathroom amenities, AHC-specification pillows, Hypnos mattresses and more.
