An ultra contemporary hotel, it's blessed with a vast amount of space both inside and out, not to mention a wealth of facilities.

A long-standing favourite at Spabreaks.com, Celtic Manor is hailed for its incredible size and scope of facilities. Perhaps best known for its famous golf course which hosted the Ryder Cup in 2010. It is surrounded by 1400 acres of park land and the Usk Valley but is also just 45 minutes from Cardiff. There is also an all-singing, all-dancing spa complete with a suite of thermal facilities and pools, 16 treatment rooms and an awe-inspiring Elemis Herbal Steam chamber where small lights mimic the constellations.
In the beautiful North Warwickshire countryside, The Belfry is a warm and welcoming hotel where nothing is too much trouble.

There’s a Championship golf course, and further activities ranging from mountain bike hire to loch cruises, or a scenic walk. Cameron Spa however is at the heart of the resort’s rest and relaxation offering, with 17 treatment rooms, a VIP couple’s suite, and facilities ranging from a 20-metre relaxation pool to a journey through a tepidarium, caldarium, sauna, infrared sauna, a hammam and an aromatherapy room.
In 1,000 acres of Northumberland moorland and forest lays, this Edwardian mansion welcomes families, with rooms to suit or lodge accommodation in the grounds to sleep between four and eight people. It's a grand country house hotel with beautiful grounds to roam in. The spa is a world of its own, equipped with fitness facilities as well as a dedicated pool side relaxation area where there is a juice and snacks bar, or even a glass of champagne waiting for you. So much of the experience however, is about enjoying the grounds with activities ranging from 4x4 off-road driving and clay pigeon shooting to quad biking, segway safaris, mud runs and archery.
Every inch the five-star experience, Foxhills Club and Resort in Surrey is set in 400 acres of countryside and really takes the family friendly spa break to a whole new level. The spa is simply excellent, and is strictly for guests 16 and over, but there is a separate Youth Club building complete with junior pool, soft play area, and den facility. There are plenty of activities in the grounds, and the hotel is also only a short distance from Legoland and Windsor Castle.
In the heart of ancient woodland New Park Manor Hotel and Spa is located in a thoroughly relaxing environment, setting the scene for relaxation for the whole family. The 16th-century manor house has beautiful gardens to explore, imbued with a sense of history. Relax in the New Forest surroundings, staying in elegantly appointed bedrooms looking out onto manicured gardens.
