Perched high on a hill just 6 miles from the coastal city of Plymouth, Boringdon Hall is a beautiful Elizabethan manor house steeped in history. Sir Walter Raleigh and Queen Elizabeth are among many esteemed guests that have graced Boringdon’s doors over the centuries.

The pièce de résistance of the lovingly restored manor house is the majestic Great Hall – with oak-panelled walls, statement chandeliers and a roaring stone fireplace complete with a King James I coat of arms.

With the recent addition of a stunning £5 million state-of-the-art spa, Boringdon Hall offers an idyllic and quintessential English rural spa escape.

Gaia Spa

Merged into the hillside and spanning 3 floors, the award-winning Gaia Spa is a game-changing retreat. The contemporary design and decor embraces Boringdon’s surroundings, with natural hues, botanical greens and earthy tones – creating a shoulder-dropping ambience.

A fabulous thermal circuit, with a crystal steam room and Finnish and herbal saunas, circles the sleek indoor/outdoor hydrotherapy pool. You’ll also find 12 candlelit treatment rooms, a hair & beauty salon and a wonderful Spatisserie serving light lunches, afternoon tea and Champagne, with two outdoor dining areas offering panoramic views of the Devonshire countryside.

Gaia Spa awards include the 2018 and 2020 Condé Nast Johansens Best Destination Spa in the UK & Ireland.

Designed to combine space, comfort and practicality, Courtyard Rooms are situated in the new wing at Boringdon Hall. Stylish suites are situated in the Manor House, some featuring private terraces and hot tubs.

Each room is equipped with luxury touches such as Gaia Skincare toiletries. All rooms and suites include complimentary WiFi and tea/coffee making facilities.

To Eat

The sophisticatedly romantic Àclèaf overlooks the Great Hall and is the place to taste exquisite menus created by Head Chef Scott Paton. A seasonally-led tasting menu takes centre stage which can be paired with wine flights to complement each dish.
Àclèaf is a AA 4 Rosette restaurant and features in the MICHELIN Guide 2022.

At the less formal but equally delicious Mayflower Brasserie you can settle by the fire with a tempting afternoon tea, a cocktail, or light lunch. In the spa, guests can take advantage of the countryside views whilst enjoying brunch or lunch at the wonderful Spatisserie.
