Country house hotels
Relax & unwind
On the other hand, you might want to lie back and relax while others do the work. Pamper yourself at one of Britain's many spa hotels. Four Seasons Hampshire (www.fourseasons.com/hampshire/), a luxury country house hotel situated 45 minutes outside London has an elegant, well-equipped spa, including an indoor/outdoor swimming pool, bespoke heat treatments, sauna and steam room. Alternatively, if your therapy is just being out in the open countryside with beautiful scenery, then stay at Youlston park (www.youlstonpark.com/) and enjoy the tranquil surroundings of North Devon.
