There are so many wellness gems peppered across the UK, and we're always on a mission to uncover them. Here are the latest jewels added to the Spabreaks.com collection. Where will you go?
A luxurious country house hotel in Suffolk, Seckford Hall is an opportunity to experience Elizabethan splendour and 520 years of history. Surrounded by Tudor arches and historic corridors, this romantic hotel is a beautiful place to stay, and is accompanied by a purpose-built spa within a former outbuilding and offering countryside charm as well as a sense of grandeur.
An award-winning boutique hotel in the Lancashire countryside, Stanley House Hotel & Spa enjoys views of the Ribble Valley in Mellor and is a romantic, bijou retreat that's famed for its food and style. Amongst its assets is a modern spa, where guests can relax in a collection of thermal cabins and a deeply soothing hydrotherapy massage pool surrounded by glass to help you take in the view. Even the gym is designed so you can run, cycle or workout whilst looking across verdant vistas.
A Grade II listed Georgian mansion, Park Hall Hotel and Spa in Wolverhampton blends traditional and contemporary style. The hotel is warm and welcoming, with something for everyone who visits. The Orangery restaurant is popular and modern, and the Health Club and Spa has a range of facilities and spa experiences so everyone leaves feeling revitalised and relaxed.
Gleneagles is a magical retreat that's famous for its golf, but it's also the perfect place for a romantic hotel stay or a wellness retreat. The five-star hotel is in an enchanting setting, and the style pays homage to the French aristocracy’s chateaux tradition. It's home to three of the top 18-hole golf courses in Scotland, and serves spectacular food in its restaurants and lounges. The spa is a complete wellness experience with separate leisure facilities. They have a specialist team of osteopaths, physiotherapists, acupuncturists and more. Meanwhile, sitting separately from the spa’s Bob & Cloche - an elegant beauty destination named after two style motifs of the Jazz age – the racy ‘bob’ haircut, and the close-fitting cloche hat.
Surrounded by 500 acres of Capability Brown landscaped gardens, Stapleford Park is a country estate in Leicestershire that has played host to royalty dating back to William the Conqueror. Now a popular hotel, you can stay in one of their elegantly designed rooms or a collection of cottages within the hotel grounds. There's a Lifestyle Club in an impressive converted 1899 Baroque Revival Stable Block modelled on Buckingham Palace, and within it you will find state-of-the-art fitness facilities as well as seven spa treatment rooms. Then, stroll through the rose garden, and you will find the pool, sauna and steam room to complete the experience.
With luxury interiors, quirky style and a glamorous bohemian vibe in the spa, The Rabbit Hotel and Retreat is a unique hotel and spa experience just 20 minutes from Belfast. There are four room types to choose from, each enjoying Scandi-inspired style and individual charm, with much attention paid to the details (Dyson hair dryers for example). Food is a favourite feature, with relaxed Italian-American influences and live entertainment on Thursday to Sunday nights. The spa is a jewel, serving up laid-back Balearic vibes around a show-stopping Roman bath surrounded by palms, columns, cosy heated loungers and relaxing cabanas. It's perfect for romantic escapes or time with friends.
In an iconic building that was once the home of Liverpool City Council, The Municipal Hotel is now a luxurious hotel that honours the city's heritage whilst celebrating modern style and hospitality. Original details like the clock tower, vaulted arches, coffered ceilings and wood panelling remain intact, and the Palm Court Bar is an impressive feature, with vast glass ceilings and massive palm trees adding a tropical twist. The Thermae Spa is a sanctuary in the midst of it all, complete with a pool with city views alongside heat facilities and a menu of therapies from Elemis and Grown Alchemist.
