2. Hoar Cross Hall
Next on our list of weekend retreats has to be Hoar Cross Hall. This place is a well-known spa and for good reason. The location is stunning, the treatments are exceptional and the whole experience is second to none when it comes to spa breaks with its state-of-the-art facilities. This particular spa break is located in Staffordshire in a beautiful hall with stunning grounds. The hall is believed to have been built in the 15th century. Back then it would have had a moat and drawbridge. In 2005 the spa was developed and over more recent years, the public rooms, bedrooms, and spa have had a substantial investment in their refurbishment to create a more contemporary look and feel.
The benefit of a spa break is that it helps you to destress, whilst also providing you with pain relief. Here are some of the benefits of spa treatments:
- They can relieve pain
- Helps to smooth skin
- Releases serotonin and dopamine

- Reduces headaches

We recommend opting for one with a hot tub to really make it feel like you’re on holiday. Take some books and DVDs and get comfortable in front of the log burner.
