The venue

Courts Padel® at The Retreat Elcot Park puts a super panoramic padel court in the sixteen acres of an 18th-century country house hotel, just off the A4 between Newbury and Hungerford. The court is outdoor and floodlit, with run-out space around the glass, and it's open every day from 7am to 9pm.

Through the week the court hosts group coaching, club sessions and social Americanos alongside open play, all booked through Playtomic. Rackets and balls can be hired from the Signet Spa, so you can turn up and play.

Make an afternoon of it. The Retreat's 1772 Brasserie and Yü Pan Asian Restaurant are a short walk from the court, and the Signet Spa has a hydrotherapy suite, an outdoor heated pool, sauna, steam room and gym.
