Calcot Spa, Gloucestershire

Stoke Park, Buckinghamshire
Perhaps most-famed for its 27 hole golf course, which stole the show in not one, but two James Bond films (Goldfinger in 1964 and 1997’s Tomorrow Never Dies), Stoke Park is definitely worthy of its position among the best spa hotels in this country.
The Mansion is steeped in history – founded in 1908, Stoke Park was the UK’s first Country Club and Hotel – and exudes luxury from the grand entrance hall and Instagram worthy staircase up to the lavish Pennsylvania Suite. However, it’s the spa facilities, housed in The Pavilion and surrounding gardens which really leave a lasting impression.
A haven of indulgence and serenity, facilities include an indoor heated swimming pool, Italian marble steam rooms, deep relaxation room, a private atrium with stunning five metre tropical aquarium, and an outdoor Scandinavian Sauna, hot tub and tranquil spa garden.

Four Seasons Hampshire
Arriving at Four Seasons Hampshire is a spectacular affair in itself. As you roll up the winding drive, you’re hit with a view of the ginormous manor house overlooking sprawling acres of the Hampshire countryside. It’s hard not to feel as though you’re in the opening scene for an episode of Downtown Abbey.
While the hotel oozes luxury, it boasts a family-friendly feel and hosts an array of children’s activities making it an ideal stay for the whole family. The spa facilities certainly do not disappoint and with their vast menu of tailored treatments, you’ll be feeling refreshed and recharged in no time.

Babington House, Somerset
The quintessential English escape, every room at Babington, is beautiful. Our favourite is the cosy cabin overlooking the lake; order room service and follow with a treatment in the Cowshed spa.

The Pig on the Beach, Dorset
Tucked away on the coast, all 23 rooms at The Pig boast little luxuries – from four-poster beds to Nespresso machines. The restaurant serves up delicious British food, followed by cosy evenings in front of the open fireplace. Head down to the shepherds’ huts overlooking Old Harry Rocks for some spa treatments with a view.

Lucknam Park, Chippenham

Crazy Bear, Beaconsfield
Set in a 15th century coaching inn, this hotel is ‘the athithesis to bland hotels’ – think velvet pintuck headboards, gilded mirrors and chandeliers aplenty. There’s nothing understated here, but it’s seriously fun and worth of its accolade among the UK’s best spa hotels.
