Rowhill Grange Hotel & Utopia Spa
$200-250 / ليلة
احجز هذا إذا You want a Roman-style spa retreat within striking distance of London and don't mind paying extra for the privilege.
لماذا يحبها الناس
- The split-level Roman-themed Utopia Spa is genuinely impressive
- Easy 30-minute escape from London via M25
- Beautifully manicured grounds perfect for afternoon tea
نظرة سريعة: A grand country estate that rests heavily on its spa reputation while the rooms and housekeeping are starting to show their age.
تمت المراجعة بواسطة @_pamtz1: I escaped to the Kent countryside for a total reset. The food was indulgent (that steak!), the bed was like a cloud, and I loved the little nature moments with the horses. If you need to unplug and be pampered, this is the spot.
