This five star spa in the Cotswolds offers a convenient location for the elegant regency town and its racecourse, yet the honey-coloured building is set among many acres of gardens.

A complimentary shuttle service to the racecourse is provided on race days.

The Indian-inspired Spa at Ellenborough Park can tailor bespoke treatments to suit each guest and deluxe Elemis products are used.

Personally, I always appreciate when only adults are admitted to the sauna, jacuzzi and steam room. This property offers spa days in the Cotswolds from Monday to Thursday. 

A fine dining restaurant, 61 individually styled rooms, a gym and an outdoor heated pool complete the appealing picture.
