Life can be full of stresses so pack your suitcase and head to a spa designed to help you forget about every last one.These UK country house hotels have plenty on offer, including a chance to spot some famous faces... Bowood hotel, spa & golf resort, Calne, Wiltshire What’s your relaxation style? Luxuriating in an indoor infinity pool soaking up breathtaking parkland views, perhaps, enjoying dinner in a grand dining room as deer graze nearby, or maybe sampling an aromatherapy shower and crystal steam room? It’s all on offer at this 43-room hotel set in 2,000 acres of gorgeous grounds and a short stroll from Bowood House, the Georgian home of the Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne.
Although a modern building, the hotel is decorated in English country-house style, with impressive replaces, book-lined walls and seating nooks. The spa offers elegant treatment rooms designed by Lady Lansdowne.
We chose a Work It Out detoxing massage designed to stimulate circulation to improve lymph drainage – and asked for a firm pressure to unknot aching muscles. The juniper, lavender and cypress essential oils left our skin feeling incredibly soft, while a post-massage herbal tea in the relaxation room ensured the Zen mood stayed with us all day.
Overnight guests will be impressed by the dinner menu and breakfast, too. B&B from £169 midweek, £184 weekends, until the end of March and from £210 midweek, £260 weekends from April.
