Worcestershire spa hotel named among UK’s best for ‘just lazing around’

Introducing the list, the travel website said: “Britain has no shortage of brilliant, big-hitting country-house hotels – and alongside deeply cosseting bedrooms, restaurants helmed by star chefs, and some of the UK’s prettiest countryside right on the doorstep, many are home to serious, results-driven spas, too.

“If you’re looking to reset and reboot, these warm-hearted spa hotels and retreats in the UK are the ones to book into.

“Closer to the capital, take a look at our picks of the best spas in London or the best spas near London for a day trip, or if you’re looking for a longer stay, then book yourself a UK weekend break.”

Dormy House in Broadway was named the best spa for “just lazing around”.

What did Conde Nast Traveller say about Dormy House?

Conde Nast Traveller describes Dormy House as a “super-swish” hotel with 39 rooms.

“After a £14 million renovation, this super-swish 17th-century farmhouse hotel now has 39 rooms individually designed in splendid colours by Todhunter Earle (also responsible for Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in Oxfordshire).

“There’s a little gym near the main bedrooms that’s just for guests, which is a nice touch, and means that in theory you can go for a treadmill run at midnight. But you won’t, because The Back Garden has fantastic food made with local ingredients and The Shed next door is a cosy bar with a sizeable drinks list.

“Never mind: soak out your excesses in the warm indoor infinity pool, the even warmer outdoor hot tub, the salt steam room, or lavender and juniper saunas.

“The soothing therapies include a truffle facial and are designed by Temple Spa, a niche brand based in West Sussex that uses only natural ingredients.

“The Silent Night Sleep treatment, with warm lavender and chamomile oils, a back massage and a pressure-point facial will get you purring.

“But it’s the charming staff and the extras that make this place special: the Champagne Nail Parlour, the log fires, sun terraces, pre-treatment juices and post-massage snacks.”
