PRESS RELEASE JULY 2016

The staycation that doesn't mean compromise...

With the uncertainty around the value of the pound and the likelihood of overseas holidays increasing in price following the Brexit vote, more people than ever are considering a staycation for their summer holiday - but where in the UK can you go for an all-inclusive, great value summer break that guarantees relaxation and isn't at the mercy of the British weather?

The answer: Ragdale Hall Health Hydro and Thermal Spa.

While a spa may not immediately spring to mind for a holiday location, Ragdale Hall in Leicestershire is no ordinary spa. It's true Ragdale has some of the best spa facilities in the UK and one of the most comprehensive selections of treatments available anywhere, but did you know there's a whole lot more to do than that?

Nestled in the beautiful rolling Leicestershire countryside, Ragdale offers a range of indoor and outdoor activities to ensure guests' breaks are as active - or not- as they want them to be. So think tennis, archery, boules, cycling and walks in the grounds or out in the surrounding countryside. Or guests can just sit back and relax around one of the outdoor pools, or in the walled garden with it's calming pond and fountain, and soak up the glorious sunshine.

If the weather is less than perfect, you can still enjoy the outdoor Waterfall Pool - heated to a blissful 35 degrees - or explore the underground Candle Pool, sample classes ranging from Tai Chi to HIIT sessions, and from meditation to Groovelates. Or you can work up an appetite in the well-equipped gym, and challenge yourself with a personal training session. There's even a programme of make-up and skincare workshops, evening talks and demonstrations to dip into. And if retail therapy helps you relax, lose yourself in Ragdale's Boutique, Gift Shop and Beauty Shop - bursting with offers and products not available on the high street (and without the worry about the exchange rate!)

Treatments range from the latest anti-ageing facials to invigorating body exfoliations and massages, and from holistic therapies to luxury manicures and High Definition Brows - so our guests can return home looking, as well as feeling, completely re-energised (we can even provide a natural looking tan to complete the look.)

And what's a holiday without exquisite food? All Ragdale's breaks include food and that means three-course dining in the sumptuous Dining Room for lunch and dinner, plus breakfast served to your room each day. Our chefs are experts at creating healthy dishes with no compromise on taste, but there are plenty of indulgent choices on the menu too.

Thanks to Ragdale Hall's Midlands location, access from most of the UK is easy by car or train - so think of the time you'll save not having to wait around in airports or enduring the transfer coach ride to your resort. We'll even collect your bags and park your car for you.

Ragdale breaks range from two to an unlimited number of nights and there is something to suit all tastes, and budgets. The inclusive three-night Soothing Summer Break starts from £387 per person and even includes two 40-minute treatments, while the five-night inclusive Pampering Holiday break starts from £714 per person and includes a treatment package worth almost £200, making it exceptional value.
