A 90-minute drive from London, the spa recently opened next to the five-star South Lodge hotel. It combines stunning countryside views with contemporary decor and the latest in spa technology: such as the aforementioned 4 Senses Lounger. It’s also a guilt-free experience thanks to its eco-friendly credentials. The face wipes are biodegradable, all forms are filled in on tablets not paper, and there is a genuine effort to reduce or remove single-use plastic.

Outside in the elegant grounds, you have the arduous choice between a hydrotherapy pool and a natural heated swimming pond – the UK’s first – dotted with reeds and surrounded by cherry blossom trees. Opt for the jacuzzi and you can warm yourself afterwards on one of the cushioned wicker recliners facing the open fire pits. Like I said, tough choice.
