The contemporary barn-style building has enormous windows that let in an abundance of natural light and make the most of the countryside views. The wellbeing suite is central to your visit, comprising a range of facilities that flow from the inside out as well as elegant design that instantly makes you feel relaxed. They include steam rooms, saunas, experience showers, an ice fountain, outdoor pools, a relaxation area, sun terrace, spa garden, and a slumber room.

For those visiting with a group of friends or celebrating a special occasion like a babyshower, birthday or hen party, the hideaway is a secluded, private space away from the rest of the spa for you to have all to yourselves. It can also be reserved just for two - ideal for a romantic spa day. It includes a double treatment room, private lounge area, shower area, outdoor hot tub, mini bar, fire pit and double lounger, and you can spend your day there, even booking treatments, lunch, afternoon tea and ordering drinks as you go about your day.

Treatments at breedon priory use luxe british skincare brands including temple spa, tribe 517, pinks boutique and proverb. Therapists deliver a range of face and body therapies designed to energise, relax and revitalise. After your treatment you can head to the post-treatment relaxation room to come round with views of the pool and gardens.

Completing the experience is the terrace restaurant. Once again enjoying views of the spa garden through floor to ceiling windows, the restaurant is stylish and welcoming. Drinks and snacks are available throughout the day, but in the evening this is somewhere to dress up a little and enjoy a menu of seasonal and regional ingredients, making for a complete luxury spa day experience.
