To ask about the best spas in England?

[Jaggerdagger]

Shameless traffic post, although I figured others could benefit!

I'm South based but happy to travel, and happy to spend a bit on somewhere really special and utterly relaxing!

Nothing I have ever tried comes remotely close to the amazing Pennyhill Park & Spa.
Everything about it is fantastic: you are so well looked after there.
the afternoon tea is also fantastic in the main dining and bar area of the hotel.
def worth every penny.

Another vote for Lucknam

Turkish Baths in Harrogate

The Club at Cottonmill Spa at Sopwell House. Its 100% worth forking out to access the Club section. Access to Jacuzzi's and pools outdoors, numerous relaxation rooms and sleep pods etc.

Ooh following…

The Ballantyne Spa in a country house near Glastonbury which I went to last year (Charlton Manor?) had a lovely outdoor area. You can stay in the hotel too.

Another vote for Ragdale Hall from me

Appreciate it's far but Titanic Spa in Huddersfield 💆‍♀️

I was disappointed by Ragdale Hall. It felt very old fashioned. Love Rudding Park in Harrogate

Nirvana spa is the best spa ever

South Lodge in East Sussex. Outdoor hydro pool, outdoor swimming pond, gym, treatments, good restaurant, classes, loungers, salt room, steam room etc.

Carden Park near Chester is amazing!!

Ragdale Hall - it's main focus is the spa. I love it. The food is fantastic and I come away feeling completely relaxed. Where else can you go for dinner in your dressing gown! They have also added a superb cocktail bar!

Pennyhill Park is lovely - but it is a hotel first and spa second. You can have lunch in the spa in your dressing gown but I don't think they'd let you in the bar in the hotel!

I'd rate the spa at Pennyhill better than Chewton Glen though. Chewton is a lovely hotel. But it doesn't pass the dressing gown test for me! But beautiful location and lovely restaurant.

I've been to Nirvana too - it's a lovely spa but just for the day. It's always been busy whenever I've gone there. But I've not been in recent years.

South Lodge? near Horsham

Now I thought Ragdale Hall one of the worst I've ever been to. Terrible treatments and therapists smelling of fags.

Seaham Hall in Durham

Agree South Lodge is lovely. I also like Spread Eagle in Midhurst.

Nirvana Spa gets my vote

Nirvana, like heaven on earth

Rockcliffe Hall or Seaham Hall. Beats Ragdale hands down

I can never understand why people recommend Pennyhil. It is the only hotel which my husband and I have ever actually left as we found it so horrible. The rooms are dated and the ones that have been refurbished are very tacky. We also found the spa to be quite dirty in addition to extremely busy.

Chewton Glen is absolutely lovely and you can have treatments in you room which is lovely. Lucknham Park is also very nice.

Ragdalle Hall is my absolute favourite ever.

Hoar Cross Hall, near Burton on Trent, Staffordshire
