This is one of the best spas in the UK. And autumn is the perfect time to visit, as the surrounding area provides a beautiful backdrop for both leisurely and active walks. The spa is huge and never feels crowded. The hotel itself is stunning and the rooms are all so luxurious. There’s even a reading room, which has complimentary drinks and snacks and is open 24hrs.

Pre-Book a Christmas Experience for Your Family

Tulley's Christmas Experience
Tulley’s Christmas Experience

“We go to this every year, and my girls absolutely love it. But to be honest, my husband and I love it too. Like all Christmas experiences, it’s expensive. However, cheaper than other things I’ve been to, and you get so much for your money. I’d say it’s better for slightly older children, but you could totally take a toddler and a baby, and you’d still have the most magical time.”
TMC’S Editorial Assistant, Luzaan Shaw.

Pick up This Easy and Addictive Read

The Thursday Murder Club - Richard Osman
The Thursday Murder Club – Richard Osman

“Recently, I decided I needed to read more, and I’m currently obsessed with this. Almost instantly, you can imagine all the characters in their little world. It’s so easy to read, and the chapters are all short, so it’s a great one to pick up before bed – even if you only have five minutes. I’ve started going upstairs after dinner and skipping TV as I’ve become so addicted to the story.”
