Treat yourself to a spa break in Cheltenham
Relaxing spa hotels in Cheltenham
Cheltenham has been a spa town resort since 1716 when a local landowner became curious of pigeons pecking at accumulated salts, convinced that the natural spa waters had healing properties. So what could be better than a spa day or break, with a focus on your health and wellbeing in the hometown of modern spas?
From new developments to intimate spaces within country hotels, Cheltenham can offer you a choice of gorgeous spas for you to chill, relax and unwind in.
Below are few of our favourites...
