After the stress of Christmas, the revelry of New Year and the comedown of the return to work, now’s the time to start thinking about you again.
It’s all fun and games making those New Year resolutions, but in order to stick to them you’ve got to be feeling your best.
And holistic wellness is something Grantley Hall takes very seriously.
GRANTLEY HALL, RIPON
Making its home on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, this luxury five-star hotel is surrounded by landscaped grounds, rolling countryside and nearby attractions Fountains Abbey, Studley Royal Water Garden and Brimham Rocks – which means finding that all-important head space is a sure thing.
Four indulgent restaurants and three cosy bars ensure your appetites are well and truly cared for, while you can take your pick of 47 exquisite bedrooms should you wish to extend your stay.
But what really sets Grantley Hall apart from other country house hotels is its commitment to top quality health facilities.
THREE GRACES SPA AT GRANTLEY HALL
The wellness philosophy behind the Three Graces Spa at Grantley Hall is all based around balance.
Here, you’ll receive a holistic approach to relaxing that’s guaranteed to leave you feeling like a brand new version of yourself.
And what’s great is it’s entirely up to you how you spend your time. Maybe a dip in the 18-metre swimming pool will refresh and energise you; perhaps the indoor-to-outdoor hydrotherapy pool will relieve all your aches and pains; or maybe simply sitting in one of the thermal experiences – including a sauna, steam room and snow room – will bring you tranquillity beyond measure.
No doubt sometimes you’ll need to give yourself over to the professionals. Offering full body rituals, hand and feet treatments as well as holistic treatments and a specialist high performance wave facial workshop, the team at the Three Graces Spa will personalise your relaxation journey and combine the latest techniques with ancient therapeutic wisdom to give you the ultimate, bespoke, luxury spa experience.
And while you enjoy that time between treatments, enjoy the Three Graces Spa Lounge, which offers a delicious range of healthy, nutritious drinks and snacks to revitalise your senses from the inside, out. Their beautiful lounge (and, in warmer weather, their outdoor terrace, too) offers a calm space to relax, rejuvenate and watch the world go by.
