Wimbledon is right around the corner—and according to Airbrb, tennis-loving travelers want to “get as close to the action as possible” this year.
As such, the demand for tennis court-adjacent hotels and stays has risen—and thankfully there is an abundance of English estates and hotels to choose from with tennis courts right on property, allowing guests to be close to the action but also able to retreat to their own court.
The following properties are some of the most beautiful stays that the United Kingdom has to offer—all of which boast five-star service, luxury amenities, and of course private tennis courts on-site.
This stunning medieval manor dates all the way back to 1320—when it was owned by the church as a sanctuary for bishops, priests, and monks. These days guests checking into the Abbots Grange are welcomed to five-star service and an 8-acre garden that includes both a tennis court and croquet lawn. It’s worth noting that this spectacular stay also has a helipad for those arriving by air.
Hurst Farm in the Kent countryside is a beautiful example of a modern farmhouse. The property is a former medieval hall but these days features luxurious amenities like high-end linens, freestanding baths overlooking the countryside, and its very own grass tennis court as well as an outdoor swimming pool.
The Tregaddra Farm B&B in Cornwall boasts an all-weather tennis court thanks to its position as the most southerly point in Britain. The beautiful farmhouse also features a swimming pool tucked into the rolling greenery of the Lizard Peninsula.
Beacon Hall House is another stunning property tucked into the Kentish countryside. The five-star country home was the winner of the Visit England Rose Award for excellent service and boasts both a private on-site tennis court as well as a beautiful outdoor heated swimming pool.
The Sutton Hall Resort in North Yorkshire, England goes above and beyond when it comes to taking advantage of the English countryside. The manor house has been renovated into eight luxury apartments and includes two all-weather tennis courts, an indoor pool, and 24 acres of grounds to explore.
