Whether you’re going to take the whole day off work or are looking for a twilight treat before going home, whether you’re visiting with friends, on your own or with your partner, sometimes the most indulgent spa experience is the mid-week variety. So smack on the OOO and pop on your slippers for 10 of the best day spas for a midweek mini break…

Down Hall

Down Hall Hotel and Spa, Essex

Country house hotel bliss near Hatfield Heath, Down Hall dates back to 1322 and brings guests old world grandeur with its Italianate architectural details. Surrounded by 110 acres of woodland and countryside it feels a world away from anywhere, but it is still conveniently accessible from London, making it perfect for a mid week escape.

Fishmore Hall

Fishmore Hall, Shropshire

A beautifully restored Georgian house surrounded by Shropshire countryside, Fishmore Hall is your chance to unwind for 24 hours with Nordic walking in spectacular grounds, where contemporary spa facilities meet country house hotels. They even welcome (well behaved) dogs, so it’s an escape for the whole family.

Ribby Hall

The Spa Hotel at Ribby Hall Village, Lancashire

A completely unique experience, The Spa Hotel, set in the wider context of Ribby Hall Village, is an adult only spa facility with an aqua thermal journey and a Zen Garden. With shopping, beautiful countryside, an award-winning restaurant on hand, this is a one stop shop for everything you need for a little midweek rejuvenation.

Doubletree by Hilton Chester Hotel, Cheshire

In 12 acres of landscaped garden, the hotel is only a few minutes from Chester city centre. The hotel’s Garden Room and Terrace restaurant looks out across the grounds providing a beautiful space to relax over dinner. There are 14 treatment rooms, an array of outdoor pools, a thermal suite and all surrounded by the boutique beauty and shopping potential of Chester.

VISIT DOUBLETREE BY HILTON CHESTER HOTEL

Ringwood Hall Hotel and Spa, Derbyshire

Located in Chesterfield, on the edge of the Peak District, Ringwood Hall Hotel and Spa is perfectly located for visiting the town centre – a chance to soak up the area’s rich historical heritage, while the hotel itself is a 19th century country house hotel with a brand new spa. The Garden Secret Spa is a beautiful contemporary addition with a vintage twist and a botanical theme – we particularly love the blossom steam room and herbal sauna.

The Spa at The Midland, Manchester

Brought to you by QHotels, The Spa at The Midland is a completely unique offering within the spa industry – a city centre spa hotel with lots of space and luxurious facilities. Known as a hotel with a superb restaurant, stylish cocktails and impeccably good taste, it is also complete with an adult only spa including an array of thermal areas and a pool. Treatments are from both ESPA and 3D SkinTech, and it’s all in the middle of this dynamic city for convenient accessibility.

VISIT THE SPA AT THE MIDLAND

De Vere Cotswold Water Park, Cotswolds

A Champagne nail bar, facials, wraps, a mud rasul and plenty more, all surrounded by the scenic bliss of the Cotswolds, De Vere Cotswold Water Park is easy to reach by road or rail from London, but offers a family friendly, group friendly escape with all the facilities, treatments and location assets for a mini break.

VISIT DE VERE COTSWOLD WATER PARK

The Guildford Harbour Hotel, Surrey

Super easy to get to and with a touch of Alice in Wonderland magic to its style, The Guildford Harbour Hotel is a modern hotel that really does sparkle – at least with all the glass it’s made from. The luxurious city spa hotel is home to facilities including an indoor swimming pool, outdoor Champagne Pool, stone oven sauna, aromatic crystal steam room and relaxation room as well as offering unique treatments including a Rasul Mud Ritual, and they offer a beautiful Twilight Spa package that’s perfect for after work pampering.

VISIT THE GUILDFORD HARBOUR HOTEL

Macdonald Berystede Hotel and Spa, Berkshire

The closest four star hotel to Ascot Racecourse, and within easy reach of family friendly attractions like Legoland, Macdonald Berystede Hotel and Spa is a great spa destination for groups, and also has an ideal Twilight Spa Evening that’s ideal to share with friends – ending the day on Prosecco and an Elemis facial.

VISIT MACDONALD BERYSTEDE HOTEL AND SPA

Fawsley Hall, Northamptonshire

Close to Bleinheim Palace and the Althrop estate, Fawsley Hall is a country house estate surrounded by manicured gardens and walking trails. It’s close to Bicester Village and while the property itself has roots that go back to the 7th century and has hosted monarchs including Elizabeth I, you could visit for a mid week treat… but we defy you not to choose to stay the whole weekend.
