BRANDSHATC­H PLACE HOTEL AND SPA, FAWKHAM, KENT

- Review by Lara Nugent

Set in 12 acres of Kent countrysid­e, you’ll immediatel­y feel like you’ve escaped from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, even though you are close to the M25 and the Brands Hatch racing track! The slick, contempora­ry spa is set away from the Georgian hotel and feels warm and welcoming as soon as you step in.

We opted for the Indulgent Afternoon Tea for Two Spa Day, which includes use of the facilities and a 55-minute treatment, the perfect choice if you are looking for a catch-up with your best friend! I had the Luxury Facial, during which the therapist chose specific Elemis products to tackle my complexion concerns and, after a relaxing 55 minutes, I was left positively glowing. My friend opted for the full-body massage, which, thanks to the first-class therapist, was one of the best she has ever had! We also decided to book an extra treatment and can highly recommend the salon pedicure. After a dip in the pool and making use of the steam room and sauna, we finished our day with a scrumptiou­s afternoon tea – after all, calories don’t count at the spa! With a cake stand each, piled high with a selection of mini cakes, sandwiches and classic scones, it’s definitely value for money.

STAY: The Indulgent Afternoon Tea for Two Spa Day is priced from £99 per person, which includes the 55-minute treatment and either a sweet or savoury afternoon tea.
