Surrounded by south Devon countryside, Gaia Spa at Boringdon Hall offers spa goers the best of all worlds. A romantic luxury hotel in a historic building brimming with intrigue, it is accompanied by a contemporary new spa within the grounds - ideal for friends, couples and groups looking for meaningful wellbeing and down time together. The one time home of Lady Jane Grey, the UK’s ill-fated medieval queen of nine days, Boringdon Hall is a five star hotel in a Grade II listed building. Its royal connections date back to 956, and it certainly continues its tradition of regal splendour in its lavish rooms and suites, alongside sympathetically modern updates. Its sense of romance is enhanced by its secret archways, stone towers, and the character that hints at the rich history throughout. Certainly a location for special occasions or simply indulging, just because.
There are two sides to the dining experience at Boringdon Hall; the two restaurants in the main hotel and the spa’s own cafe. Experience five star fine dining in Àclèaf, where the head chef showcases British fare with locally sourced ingredients. Alternatively, there’s The Great Hall where you are welcome to cosy up by the fire with a cup of tea and a light lunch. However, there’s also the Spatisserie spa restaurant, where you can go for Prosecco, brunch and afternoon tea wearing your robe and slippers throughout the day. It’s an elegant and light environment with areas where you can corner yourself off with sheer curtains - perfect for a group of friends or intimate conversation.

Excellent facilities and treatments with overall good value for money. The only downside was that the pool area, sauna and steam rooms became extremely busy in the afternoon, which took away from the relaxation element. We booked a weekday spa day specifically to try and avoid this which is unfortunate.
Really enjoyed the day, loved the food! All facilities great! Had an Indian head massage and after going in the swimming pool hair was very knotted so treatment quite painful so perhaps recommend clients brush hair before this procedure. Very busy in changing room and hard to use all facilities in there also very hot so had to leave half ready as couldn’t bear it. Lots of other women struggling too
We were welcome at reception and went into a separate room for our treatments. We were listened to how we wanted our treatment from the type of oil and pressure used. The spa is stunning but small which is lovely until it get busy (it was valentines weekend).
But we had full Use before and after check in/out. Lovely food in the spasserie but pricey.
Always love this venue and the facilities are excellent and clean.
I am a spa/ massage regular and travel world wide for work, so I always end up in a spa. As far as the treatment it’s medioka. The food had a great range and catered for all requirements. However the service was very very slow and the staff didn’t know the answer to any easy questions, so had to keep going off. Took ages to take our order, ages to get it and a huge gap between coming to take desert order. They were not overly busy and had at least 3 staff taking orders.
As for value for money I think it’s over priced and never has any great deals to snap up or I would go more regularly.
Having been to five spas in the south west I rate Boringdon Hall by far the best. The range of facilities (pool, indoor/outdoor jacuzzis, experience showers and five sauna/steam rooms) are beautifully designed. Staff were lovely, treatments superb and both lunch and afternoon tea delicious. Definitely one to repeat!
A lovely day, the only small disappointment was that there wasn’t enough loungers adjacent to the pool for everyone on a busy spa day. Although the staff asked guests not to ‘reserve’ a lounger many people piled them with belongings. I just need to remember not to book a Saturday next time, but overall a great experience, thank you.

Absolutely stunning hotel set in a picturesque area. The hotel staff from check in and beyond are fabulous and the spa facilities out of this world. We opted to upgrade our meal to the el le carte and it was so yummy. We had help pairing wines with our meal also. However it is pricey! We will be back next year.
