East Sussex National Golf Resort and Spa, near Uckfield, has been named one of the most popular countryside spas. Here's the full list:
1. Guildford Manor Hotel and Spa, Surrey
Only a short distance from Guildford but cosseted by 10 acres of Surrey Hills parkland, this is a hotel that feels like a retreat from everyday life where you can wake to views of carefully manicured gardens and indulge in some spa and leisure time whilst surrounded by natural beauty.
At the Aqua Spa and Health Club, there’s state of the art gym facility to work up a sweat in, as well as a swimming pool to dip into. The Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room are perfect for pre-treatment relaxing, before heading for a relaxing massage, facial or Indian head massage.
2. Redworth Hall Hotel, County Durham
You’ll find many reasons to want to visit Redworth Hall Hotel, not least its spectacular Jacobean architecture and 26 acres of glorious, landscaped grounds which host tennis courts, crazy golf and Frisbee golf. The Retreat leisure club and spa is a big drawcard whether you’re looking for a solo spa retreat or celebrating something special with friends. Indulge in an ESPA beauty treatment, relax in the indoor heated pool, take a nap in the tranquil relaxation room or enjoy a bit to eat or a drink in the stunning Retreat Lounge.
3. East Sussex National Golf Resort and Spa
All rooms in this contemporary hotel overlook either the resort’s 18-hole championship golf course or the 1000 acres of lush green South Downs countryside, setting the scene for a relaxing weekend getaway. To keep in shape, the hotel’s Health Club runs yoga, pilates and studio cycling classes, after which a refreshing swim in the indoor heated pool will be just the tonic. Besides an aromatherapy room and monsoon shower, the main event here are the luxury treatments, which range from an invigorating massage to a relaxing facial.
4. Horwood House, Buckinghamshire
A four-star country house hotel surrounded by 38 acres of Buckinghamshire landscapes that set the scene for rest and relaxation, Horwood House is a historic property with a brand new spa that recently underwent a £5.5 million renovation. Its charm, location and style make it perfect for romantic escapes, but its triple rooms and welcoming atmosphere also make it suitable for groups and families. The H Spa at Horwood House is the pièce de résistance, drawing inspiration from the gardens, which are a running theme throughout the hotel. A day here is a treat, but a weekend would be even better as you’ll also find nearby such as Bletchley Park, Woburn Safari Park, Blenheim Palace and Bicester Shopping Village.
5. Macdonald Forest Hills Hotel and Resort, Scotland
How does hiking, pony trekking, tennis and a game of croquet with the spectacular backdrop of Ben Lomond sound? With a sun terrace for afternoon teas and cosy fires for evening drinks, this hotel is an ideal spot for getting some fresh air and relaxing. The spa also enjoys an enviable view of the Scottish landscape and boasts a pool, hot tub and sauna as well as a gym and a menu of luxurious Elemis treatments, including massages, facials, scrubs and wraps.
