Ginny Weeks visits Thurlestone Hotel in Devon
WHY HERE?
The majestic Thurlestone Hotel overlooks Bigbury Bay, a stunning sweep of South Devon National Trust coastline, and boasts a golf course, leisure facilities (including a heated outdoor pool) and a luxurious spa.
FACILITIES AND TREATMENTS
Take a swim in the jet spa hydrotherapy pool before enjoying the dry heat laconium, sauna and steam room. For further relaxation, pop upstairs to the treatment area and try the Voyage Spa Ocean Escape ritual, which uses locally sourced algae, seaweed and sea salt to rejuvenate and firm the skin. Signature treatments by Decleor such as the Advanced Anti-Ageing Facial are also excellent. If you are feeling peckish, pop to the Terrace Bar for locally sourced and skilfully cooked dishes, whilst you take in the view of the tropical gardens and sea beyond.
CAN I SEE THE SEA?
Many of the rooms and all of the dining areas feature fantastic sea views.
WHAT DOES IT COST?
Treatments start at £12 and extend to £149 for a spa day. A one-night stay for two persons at Thurlestone Hotel costs from £195 per room per night, including breakfast and use of the spa.
