Historic spa towns and country house hotels for romantic escapes, one of the West Midlands’ best known sons is arguably the most famous name in literature, so a visit to Stratford-Upon-Avon including The Royal Shakespeare Theatre is well worth the effort when you’re in this part of the world. However, that is only the tip of the iceberg in a region that flourished during the Industrial Revolution and today is home to a wealth of activities for the whole family to enjoy!
When it comes to spa hotels, the Midlands has an exceptional amount to offer. For those looking for style, luxury and substance as well, for example, Hoar Cross Hall, the magnificent country house hotel in Staffordshire, has a reputation as one of the best spa hotels the region has to offer.
Then again, The Belfry is the place with a reputation for having something for everyone. The Birmingham based destination is known for its Ryder Cup approved golf course, its hen party favoured Bel Air Nightclub, its breadth of leisure facilities and its array of food.
Meanwhile, The Elan Spa at Mallory Court is a romantic haven with no children allowed in the boutique spa, which sits in a wooded hideaway in the grounds of a beautiful country house in rural Warwickshire. The combination of features and service make it reputedly one of the best spas in the West Midlands, especially for a romantic weekend.
History and scenic views play a big part in the spa hotels in the Midlands, but it is also blessed with beautiful towns and cities, and spa days to match. At the likes of Ellenborough Park in Gloucestershire you can hop along for shopping in picture perfect Cheltenham, while The Malvern offers beautiful spa experiences in the famed Victorian spa town - perfect for mother/daughter spa days or a getaway with friends.
