The Petwood Hotel is a 53-bedroom hotel on the outskirts of Woodhall Spa. The restaurant and bar, which are open to non-residents, are both on the ground floor of the Hotel. We have a ramp at the front door of the Hotel to provide access for wheelchair users.

We are situated approximately ½ mile from the centre of the village and there is a path on the opposite side of the road from the hotel which links us to the main village.

The Hotel can be contacted by telephone or email. Telephone number 01526 352411 or email hello@petwood.co.uk
