Who Goes? Peter Andre and
Daniel Radcliffe have both
checked in to Alexander House
Hotel to kick back and relax.
Why is it so special? Set
in 120 acres of lovely Sussex
countryside, you’re just 40
minutes outside of London. This
luxury manor dates back to the
17th century, hosting a Grecian-
inspired spa designed to relieve
everyday stress and strains,
including a hydrotherapy
pool, monsoon showers,
a gym, yoga classes, and
tennis courts. The hotel
also boasts a three AA
Rosette restaurant.
For a truly unique
experience, try their
new private outdoor
hot tubs (£20 per 30
mins) or treat yourself
to their newly opened
cedar lodge suites.
What treatments
are on offer? These
range from a traditional
massage to a quick pedicure or
facial for both men and women.
Try the Total Harmony signature
treatment (£90 for 55 mins),
which uses hot stones to melt
away tension. Or their CACI facial,
the original celebrity non-
surgical facelift, to reduce lines.
Are there any packages?
The Celebration Break package
(from £225 per person) includes
overnight accommodation,
a bottle of Champagne
and chocolate dipped
strawberries on arrival,
dinner, full English
breakfast and use
of the spa facilities
including one
treatment.

Cornwall Hotel Spa and Estate

Cornwall’s most luxurious hotels
and sits in 43 acres of parkland,
just two miles from the coast.

pool and gym, tennis courts and

StirlingVisitors to Scotland usually flock to
the bustling cities of Edinburgh or
Glasgow but Stirling – less than an
hour from both – is a better base
from which to explore central
Scotland. It’s probably the most
historically important city in the
north, and the evidence is all
around from the magnificent Stirling
Castle to the gloriously imposing
The stunning view from
Stirling Castle
Go back in time
in Charlestown
Wallace Monument and the
Bannockburn Heritage Centre. The
city has a large student population
so it’s thronged with reasonably
priced bars and eateries. For
nature lovers, it’s also close to the
breathtaking Loch Lomond and the
Trossachs National Park, where
you can do everything from ziplining
to canoeing – or take a tour in a
sea plane. Another short drive will
take you to The Kelpies, the largest
horse sculptures in the world.
Where to stay Hotel Colessio
(hotelcolessio.com) is one of
Stirling’s most luxurious hotels.
Built in 1875 as a bank, and later
converted to a hospital, it now has
over 40 upmarket rooms and suites
and is situated in the heart of the
city. Prices start from £90 per night.
If you’d prefer somewhere outside
the city, the Rosslea Hall Hotel is a
Victorian mansion situated close to
Loch Lomond (rossleahallhotel.co.uk)
and overlooking the River Clyde.
Prices start from £98 per night. n

Who goes? Alexa Chung and Jake
Gyllenhaal have partied in the area.
Vibe: This listed Victorian warehouse
provides unique entertainment in the
form of musicians belting out all the
classics – accompanied on a piano.
Scribble down any song your heart desires on a napkin and soon
enough you’ll hear it being performed on stage.
Best for: Apart from the fantastically talented artists performing,
The Piano Works serves outstanding cocktails. Get the party
started with an Almond & Hazelnut Sour (£9), which is a blend
of almond and hazelnut liqueur, egg white and lemon. It will have
you dancing all night!
