In particular, spa breaks in Derbyshire include exceptional country houses and elegant escapes. For example, Ringwood Hall Hotel and Spa is amongst the latest destinations to join a new league of luxury spas in Derbyshire. The historic manor house was acquired by new owners in recent years and as part of a multi million pound refurbishment, they have introduced a spa that marries a sense of vintage elegance with contemporary spa facilities. As a result, it is already gaining a reputation as a superbly romantic spa destination that also offers meaningful wellbeing and a beautiful space for friends or mothers and daughters to spend time together.

Breadsall Priory is also a seasoned favourite for spa breaks or spa days in Derbyshire. Based in Ilkeston, this exquisite property is part of the Marriott collection, giving it a standard set by its nationwide reputation. Surrounded by elegant grounds, the hotel is romantic, but also eminently affordable when it comes to spa days and breaks, providing a scenic country location to add to the sense of indulgent relaxation. Little wonder then that vouchers for this place are a favourite spa gift as well.

Another of the best spas in Derbyshire is the New Bath Hotel and Spa in the historic spa town of Matlock Bath. With a townhouse style but a country house location surrounded by rolling hills, the hotel is ideally located for visiting some of the region’s key cultural highlights such as Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall. It also has a reputation for romantic mini breaks, beautiful food thanks to plenty of home grown veg, and spa treatments from the famed ESPA brand.
