This hotel specialises in spa breaks, whether you want a day spa package or a longer stay with accommodation. The separate spa is impressive and ideal for sharing with a loved one. There are five water experiences to enjoy as well as a mud rasul which when taken together, can be a very intimate and fun experience. Treatments can be enjoyed side by side in a couple’s suite, but leave time for the rooftop hot tub which is surely the perfect ending to a gorgeous day with each other.

In a building adjacent to the hotel is The Spa; a spacious, adult-only environment that's supremely elegant at every turn.
A purpose-built space, it includes a wealth of facilities, such as a hydrotherapy pool with five water experiences, a rasul, experience showers and ice fountain, a steam room, sauna, hammam, relaxation area, beauty room for manicures and pedicures, spa lounge, a therapy room for visiting cosmetic doctors, and an outdoor rooftop hot tub. The Edge Health and Fitness Club, which is also on site, is home to a gym and a pool as well.
The cherry on top are the 10 treatment rooms, including a couples’ suite. Here, therapists use ESPA products (known for their UK origins and potent use of natural ingredients combined with ‘age-defying technology’), alongside Jessica, Lycon, and Epionce, to deliver a collection of treatments and therapies.
Just 15 miles from Cambridge city centre, in the historic town of Newmarket, Bedford Lodge is a four star hotel blending the character of a former Georgian hunting lodge once owned by the Duke of Bedford with contemporary style.
Having become a family-run hotel in the 1940s, it has 77 rooms and suites, and is surrounded by three acres of rose gardens. It's also next to some of the most famous paddocks and training stables in the world thanks to the area’s rich horse racing heritage.
Named after another former owner, the restaurant, Squires, serves an eclectic menu using local, seasonal ingredients wherever possible, and catering to all guests from young families to visiting couples. This is alongside an extensive wine and champagne list, all of which are important factors in their acquisition of two AA Rosettes.
