Does The Spa at Breedon Priory do afternoon tea?

Does The Spa at Breedon Priory have a swimming pool?

The spa has two outdoor pools but they’re more for lounging than laps, preferably with cocktail in hand. The outdoor infinity edge relaxation pool is like a warm water cocoon, complete with bench flow seating and gentle hydro-massage jets. The vitality pool is more invigorating - prepare to be pummelled from head to toe.

What should I bring to The Spa at Breedon Priory?

What should I wear to my treatment at The Spa at Breedon Priory?

You can shuffle to your treatment in your snuggly robe, but wear underwear or dry swimwear underneath or you’ll have to put on the fetching disposable undies. Here for a pedicure? Make sure you’ve got your flip-flops so you don’t smudge.

The Gym & Fitness at The Spa at Breedon Priory

Can’t live without lunging? Sadly, there’s no gym at the Spa at Breedon Priory, but there is one right next door! The Breedon Priory Health Club isn’t part of the spa experience, but if you’re here on a package you can use the gym floor for a small extra fee (£10 at present).

Swing some kettlebells at the functional training zone, or use the dumbbells and barbells in the weights area to tone up. Resistance machines are designed to isolate specific muscle groups, while the cardio area boasts 16 pieces of equipment from Technogym’s state of the art Excite range. These have touch screens that let you swipe and scroll through a great range of entertainment options to distract you from all the hard graft you’re doing.

Prefer to get your exercise in the fresh, open air? You’re right on the edge of the National Forest, so lace up your walking boots and go on a hike. This popular natural playground is perfect for walking, cycling or horse-riding while you spot the wildlife and has several well-marked trails to explore.

Restaurants & Food at The Spa at Breedon Priory

But what to eat? The word here is decadent, so what about a Champagne brunch, a two-course spa lunch or a sumptuous afternoon tea? Whatever you choose, you’re in for a real treat as the chefs here really know their onions - and their gravy, something that takes them a full three days to prepare!

The dish everyone raves about is the starter - don’t miss the warm brioche with burnt courgette, roquefort, lemon and chilli dip. Reviewers say they could drink a whole mug of it! Take your pick from a menu of classic cocktails and impeccably chosen wines, then sit back and enjoy your delightful surroundings.
