A multi-award winning spa, four-poster beds and roll-top baths…sound like your kind of hotel? Say hello to Boringdon Hall & Spa, a historic manor on the outskirts of Plymouth which dates all the way back to the Domesday Book.

City sight-seeing and walks on Dartmoor beckon but only if you can drag yourself away from the luxury delights of your stay which includes a chance to pamper in Gaia Spa, and a choice of bespoke Gaia treatments, which will ensure your mind comes away as refreshed as your face and body.

It’s the perfect weekender, with history, class, plenty to do (or not do, depending on whether you prefer lazing on a lounger to bubbling in the hydrotherapy pool).

A trip to Boringdon is also a total foodie treat, thanks to Àclèaf, an intimate 4 AA-rosette restaurant with menus created by Head Chef Scott Paton, which has been newly awarded a MICHELIN Star, tucked away in the minstrel’s gallery overlooking the magnificent Great Hall. Here’s also known for fabulous themed Afternoon Teas, a real treat for a special occasion, all open to residents and non-residents alike.

Go, go, go. I dare you not to be defrazzled – check out my Muddy review here.
