Unwind in the Countryside - Spa Facilities in Suffolk

Massages, facials, yoga classes and plenty of time to relax – what’s not to love about a spa break? And the Suffolk Countryside has plenty of choice, whether you are looking for a family-friendly break or some well deserved me-time.

Best for families: The Ickworth, Bury St Edmunds

It’s refreshing to find a spa hotel that welcomes families, rather than discourages them, and the Ickworth prides itself on its family friendly facilities. From family time in the pool to treatments suitable for younger skin, the whole family can enjoy some fun and relaxation here. And even mums-to-be needn’t miss out with pre-natal massage treatments on offer using Mama Mio products.

Best self-catering: Suffolk Cottage Holidays 

Suffolk Cottage Holidays offer a range of properties where you can create your very own spa at home.

Why not try Heath Cottage in Dedham? A charming two-bedroom property in the heart of Constable Country where, after a vigorous walk along the river Stour, you can enjoy a massage to ease tired muscles back at the cottage courtesy of My Personal Sanctuary.

Or for a larger group Bridge Farm Barns in Semer sleeps up to 14 people and, along with it’s own swimming pool and spacious accommodation, you can also hire your very own hot tub for the duration of your stay, or arrange to be pampered with a range of treatments all from the comfort of the property.

So all you need to do is pull on a dressing gown and get ready for some serious relaxation.
