Some of the best cosy spa experiences to maximise the 'ber' months

Wood burning fires at Feversham Arms, North Yorkshire

Wood burning fires are one of the great joys of the cooler months of the year, and Feversham Arms delivers in style. Tucked away in north Yorkshire, the historic inn has been welcoming guests since 1855, with its cosy feel, award-winning restaurant, and of course fireside fine dining. In more recent years they've added the ultra relaxing Verbena Spa, which has a variety of luscious facilities, such as a rasul mud experience, an outdoor hot tub and a heated pool that’s open all year round.

An invigorating sauna experience at Wild Spa Wowo, East Sussex

Want the wildness of the great outdoors with the healthcare boost of heat experiences? Wild Spa Wowo is the place to go, delivering a year-round open-air wellness experience that helps you to reconnect with nature and yourself. Nestled into a forest glade, experiences shift for the autumn and winter, to include a heated greenhouse for relaxing between sauna sessions, a chilly plunge pool, an intense, Nordic-style sauna, and a cosy, clay-lined silent sauna.

Starry nights by the fire pit at Hoar Cross Hall, Staffordshire

Hoar Cross Hall is famously an exceptional country house hotel, with immaculate grounds and five-star hospitality all the way. Certainly a place for seasonal walks in the 50-acre gardens, or a stately home afternoon tea, it's also home to an enchanting spa with both indoor and outdoor experiences. Inside you will find a vast array of pools and spaces to relax, but on this occasion we draw your attention to The Spa Terrace. Here you will find a collection of experiences, from three 15-metre pools wrapped in lavender planters, heated to a soothing 38-degrees, to a glass-fronted juniper log sauna. There's also a Mediterranean-inspired bar and lounge flanked by two fire pits surrounded by comfy seating so you can relax under the stars late into the evening.

Heated treatment beds at St. Pancras, London

In a place buzzing with the romance of history and international travel, St. Pancras London is a seductive and beautiful spa that cocoons you in warmth and luxury. Step into the atmospheric space and you're enveloped in cosy vibes, spending time in a gorgeous hydrotherapy pool, sauna and steam room, before heading to one of their treatment rooms. Every part of the experience makes you feel cocooned in care, but the cherry on top are the heated treatment beds, which are enough to send you off to sleep.

Underground escapism at AIRE Ancient Baths, London

Taking you underground into some of the most beautiful London architecture, AIRE Ancient Baths is a unique experience that encourages you to slow down and enjoy the escapism. Just minutes away from Covent Garden you feel a million miles away from the world outside - stepping into a kind of Neverland (it's the former home of J.M. Barrie who wrote Peter Pan), where there are no clocks and no mobile phones. Journey through heated experiences from a tepidarium (36ºc), caldarium (40°c) and frigidarium (14ºC and 10ºC), to a balneum, thousand jet baths, and a flotarium where you can quite literally float away.

Swimming in all seasons at Manor House Hotel - Alsager, Cheshire

A recurring favourite amongst spa goers, Manor House Hotel - Alsager has created one of the most beautiful spa experiences to enjoy all year round in its unique English Country Spa Garden experience. While there are indoor facilities as well, this all-season outdoor spa offers two pools with swim-up bars, and a hydrotherapy pool is heated to a balmy 37°C, complete with therapeutic jets and integrated seating. Tranquil spaces also include a Finnish sauna, Herb Garden with water features, herbs and flowers, and greenhouse relaxation lounges with underfloor heating and glass ceilings letting in soothing, natural light.

Country house calm at Ragdale Hall Spa, Leicestershire

An all-inclusive retreat and one of the premier health spas in the UK, Ragdale Hall Spa combines an exquisite, Victorian country house, with immaculate grounds and gardens alongside a purpose-created spa. The wellbeing retreat features an array of pools and a spectacular thermal spa which comprises over 12 heat and water experiences in the form of a candle pool, outdoor waterfall pool, an immersive thought zone, herbal sauna, colourflow cave, a volcanic salt bath, a scented room and a cave experience shower complete with its own thunderstorm.
