Just 30 minutes from London yet deep in the heart of the Kent countryside, Rowhill Grange Hotel & Utopia Spa is a pretty 18th-century manor house now dedicated to sublime pampering.
This four silver star luxury retreat has very generously sized guest bedrooms and features lovely little touches such as L'occitane toiletries.
The hotel also has an award-winning luxury Utopia spa complete with therapy pools, bubble tubs, sauna, gym, hair and nail spa and 17 treatment rooms.
After a full day's action in the spa or out on the grounds, it feels great to dress up and launch into the super-smart RG's Restaurant where menus are based around locally sourced ingredients.
Elements Bar and Lounge offers a more casual feel, but with equal attention paid to service and food quality.
