- HELENA CARTWRIGHT

Hartwell House, Buckinghamshire

Best spa break for: A royal treatment

As you might expect from a former royal residence, Hartwell House boasts a marvellous spa where you can happily linger all day. Get your blood pumping with a few lengths of the Renaissance-inspired swimming pool, before a well-deserved wallow in the hot tub, steam room and sauna. The treatment list is equally indulgent, with scrubs, facials and wraps galore – with products by wellbeing brand Aromatherapy Associates. Try the Ultimate Experience Treatment for 90 luxurious minutes of massage that’ll leave you feeling super hydrated and utterly relaxed. You can also use the all-weather tennis courts in the walled garden during your stay. And if you’ve worked up an appetite, enjoy afternoon tea in the delightful drawing room or an evening meal in the two-AA-Rosette main restaurant. De-licious! Prices start at £250 per room, per night; hartwell-house.com.
