UK Spa Hotel Recommendations

Pennyhill Park, Bagshot, Surrey is fabulous. Indoor and outdoor pools, beautiful Spa lovely walks round the grounds.

The Grove, Chandlers Cross, Hertfordshire is equally fabulous.

GrannyGravy13 - thank you! Will look into these.

My friend and her husband recently stayed at The Spa Hotel in Tunbridge Wells and had a great time.

Patsy70 - thank you!

Not sure how country country you want to be, or how far you want to go, but Bovey Castle in Devon is great. There is a beautiful art deco swimming pool.

Forgot to say, nearest train is Newton Abbot.

The nearest hotel/spa to me and one we often use is South Lodge - train station is Horsham. It is a 5 star hotel and the food is good.

But this isn’t just a dedicated spa - I have been to those but years ago, so I can’t really recommended one.

I think it depends on budget.
My son loved Rutland Hall a couple of years ago

But if you really want to push the boat out (!) my daughter-in-law stayed at Cliveden House with her sister and mother before her wedding. They had a fabulous spa apparently.

The ones I have been to and liked are,
Hoar Cross Hall Hotel & Spa near Burton on Trent
Ragdale Hall in Leicestershire
Welcombe Hotel Stratford on Avon

One of the nicest spas was the Aqua Sana spas at Centerparcs a few locations but I have been to Sherwood Forest and Longleat.

Thank you Joseann.

Whitewavemark2 This sounds good. We stayed in Horsham last year for a wedding and travelled there by train.

NotSpaghetti - these both look wonderful!

*1summer - that's good to know. We were looking at booking a week at Center Parcs with the family - bonus if there is a decent Spa. The other suggestions look good for the two of us.

Ragdale Hall is our favourite but dreadfully expensive.

Ragdale is not near a railway station. It is lovely though - I worked there for a time!

Google it - their site is quite good.

Don’t know where the OP lives, but for a real adventure - head North and consider Seaham Hall, on the Durham coast. All the facilities you can shake a stick at and a sort walk to the beach - famous for sea glass. Tommy, the sculpture is a must to admire there too.

Yes Steph Cliveden was (they said) fabulous and not far from Beaconsfield, Maidenhead etc
It is, however a once-in-a-lifetime place though I think unless you are a millionaire.

This is the "hotel" part:

A friend went to Hoar Cross recently (last summer) and said it was "packed out" and needed work.
Maybe they have renovated over the winter?

I’d like to see Cliveden again but alas the OAP doesn’t stretch that far.
Many years ago I catered a wedding reception in that Thameside cottage but could find no trace of 2-way mirrors or whips! 🤣🤣🤣

Ha ha RosiesMaw! 😂

St Bride's Hotel in Saundersfoot?
Bath has a spa and you can stay in another hotel like The Bird and do some shopping.

Sopwell House Hotel in Herts in absolutely lovely

Ooh, I have just had a look at their website, it looks fabulous.

I think a little stay to verify its claims is on the cards…
