The sun was shining as we made our way past Stonehenge on our way to our eagerly anticipated Mount Somerset spa break, so we knew we were in for a good day. As we approached down a country lane and turned into the Mount Somerset Hotel estate, we were taken back by the elegant and Georgian-esque hotel. Sat at the top of a winding path and surrounded by what seemed like miles upon miles of Somerset countryside, it truly is a stunning sight for the eyes.
Inside the hotel, the luxurious feel continues with an impressive chandelier and staircase that sweeps up and around Reception. After being checked in by the friendly and professional Oliver, it was time to see if the room lived up to the pictures on Luxury Spa Breaks - and we weren't disappointed! The room was spacious and luxurious combining all the modern facilities with the hotels rich heritage.
Next it was time to venture into the spa. Only opened in October 2010, the spa spans over two floors and oozes class, sophistication and luxury! After enjoying what seemed like a never ending massage it was time to use the facilities, which included a thermal suite, foot spas, experience and bucket showers as well as the fantastic hydrotherapy pool which makes it the perfect place to unwind and rejuvenate.
Feeling completely relaxed there was some time to savour the fantastic bedroom, and luxurious roll top bath, before sampling a stunning dinner prepared by the hotel's chef. Sourcing local ingredients, the dinner was mouth watering and full of flavour. After a comfortable and quiet nights sleep we had a cooked to order full English breakfast before making our way back along the picturesque A303.
Who would we recommend The Mount Somerset to? Well, it's perfect for those looking for a romantic getaway in the countryside due to its quiet location, nearby attractions and stunning characteristics. Plus, with a fully equipped spa and an impressive array of treatments you may want to stay for an extra night....
Would we go back? Yes definitely, and it won't be long before we do - this time maybe for two nights so we can explore the surrounding area.
