Boringdon Hall Hotel and Spa

We booked a 3 night stay as a celebration/relaxation weekend after a busy and stressful year. It didn’t disappoint. ||The main hotel was magical, juxtaposed to our modern Wellness Suite. It was the perfect blend for us. We started off with a divine afternoon tea on arrival. Then I booked onto a yoga class and met a group of friendly ladies who were club members. Day 2 we relaxed, used the gym and then the Spa. Our only complaint was the lack of sun loungers. The spa is used by members, day spa users as well as hotel guests and eight sun loungers is not enough. Fortunately we did manage to acquire 2 for a couple of hours and it was bliss.||We booked the 4 course meal at Acleaf and all we can say is WOW! The best meal and service I have ever had in my 58 years. Stunning food, superb service and truly unforgettable. ||Finally we had treatments booked on our last day and again they were fabulous. Thank you to all the staff particularly Wayne who was so helpful when we checked in. ||I would most highly recommend this absolute gem of a hotel.

I booked Boringdon Hall Signature Spa Break for myself and my daughter. We had high expectations and they were well and truly met. Every member of staff offers fabulous customer service. Our Wellness Room was exactly what we needed, truly gorgeous and everything thought of. Our treatments in the spa were sublime. Special shout out to Nikita in the spa who was fab. Sadly I didn’t get anyone else’s names but everyone was lovely. I really love the modern style mixed beautifully into the historic castle. See photos below, it’s breathtaking. We’ll be back for more as soon as we have some time off work! Thank you team, Emily Chamberlain

Lovely place stunning facilities, great massage therapy session. Shame about the overall service. So when we got their after booking two months in advance we were told our treatment and meal times (which we had pre booked on the website) were different and in the wrong order and not what we had asked for. When I questioned this with the lady booking us in she was abrupt (borderline rude) and said it does say on the website in the terms and conditions these selected timings are subject to availability- when I said what’s the point of them on the website she had no answer! |The facilities are lovely. We ordered via the app some drinks and after an hour had received nothing so robed up and went to the front desk and after a ten minute wait the same women from checking in appeared. She said she could refund the drinks straight away brisk and not any apology - incorrectly refunded the wrong price then rectified this. Not what I expected this lack of empathy to r service as visited two years previous and was blown away by the service facilities etc and this was a much needed de stressing treat! So far not happening.|To be fair the lady Gemma who did the sp treatment was wonderful it’s refreshing to ask for a form massage and receive one and it not tickle she was wonderful and the whole day got better after this. The food was lovely for the afternoon tea despite being limited and basic for myself being gluten free - think the could venture a little more in this area- but the waiting staff were vigilant and lovely. |In whole the facilities are wonderful and the treatments amazing but the overall welcoming service and booking in for what you’re paying to go there needs some serious work. A smile and warm welcome would be a good star lt.

We had a lovely last minute stay here for one night. Made full use of the impressive spa facilities. Stayed in one of their modern Well Ed’s rooms which was spacious and comfortable. Very good shower. V good mattress. Are in brasserie restaurant which we both enjoyed. Delicious breakfast after early morning spa.

Went here with the family for a beautiful festive afternoon tea. It was an absolute pleasure to eat fine sandwiches, cakes and scones jam and clotted cream. The tea selection was superb. All served with great care from the professional staff. The room we were in was beautiful with period fittings. Tables set up lovely. Toilets super clean Disabled friendly. Parking was good too. The location and Boringdon hall are steeped in history. So if you looking at treeting yourself to a festive afternoon tea then this is the place.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Most Enchanting Hotel Experience of My Life From the moment I stepped through the doors, I knew this hotel was something extraordinary. There’s a kind of magical atmosphere here: soft, golden light, a sense of calm in the air, and an almost storybook charm that wraps itself around you. It feels less like checking into a hotel and more like entering a world where everything has been designed to soothe, delight, and inspire. The spa is, without exaggeration, one of the most beautiful spaces I’ve ever seen. The serenity, the design, the way the light moves is absolutely unforgettable. The rooms are a masterclass in style: elegant, thoughtful, and comfortable. Every detail feels intentional, from the textures to the lighting to the quiet luxury. Food deserves its own standing ovation. Every dish felt like a little celebration. Rich, vibrant flavours, beautifully plated, and crafted with a great level of care. This place didn’t just give me a stay. It gave me a memory I’ll hold onto forever. In fact, I’ve joked (only half-joked) that when my time eventually comes, I’d be perfectly happy for my ashes to be scattered here, just so a part of me could linger in this slice of paradise forever. This hotel isn’t simply a destination; it’s an experience that stays with you long after you’ve left. This is my 11th stay at this unique hotel

Wow! We had the most incredible stay at Boringdon Hall for my boyfriend’s 24th birthday. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. We were walked up to our room by a lovely member of staff and the team had even left a little bottle of gin in the room for him — which was such a thoughtful touch. We stayed in one of the Wellness Rooms, which was absolutely beautiful — so peaceful, spacious, and immaculately clean. The spa facilities are some of the best we’ve ever experienced! Every area of the property feels luxurious and so well cared for. The staff were genuinely outstanding — friendly, professional, and attentive without being intrusive. Nothing was too much trouble, and it’s clear that everyone there takes real pride in what they do. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay and are already planning to return. Thank you all so much for making our stay so special — you’re an absolute credit to the hotel!✨🤍

We went for a spa day here on New Year's Day and it was the best spa day we've ever had! The range of pools, saunas, steam rooms and relaxation areas was outstanding (we especially loved the outdoor whirlpool that you could swim to from inside the main pool hall, and the private hot tub accessible off one of the relaxation rooms); the food served as part of the lunch package was excellent quality; and the massages were out of this world, the hot stone all-body massage from Christy being the best I've ever had! My only negative comment is for some reason the spa doesn't allow you to select your lunch and treatment times via their website ... or should I say, they DO let you choose them, but they don't honour them – they say the treatment times are only finalised on the morning of the day itself ... meaning you could plan your day around arriving late, having a late lunch and having your treatments in the afternoon ... only to arrive and find your treatments were booked in for first thing (or you could quite conceivably miss them altogether if you didn't arrive early enough). We've never had this at a spa before (we've always been able to book lunch and treatment times in advance) and don't understand why they operate in this manner, especially as their website allows you to select specific times for both lunch and the treatments ... hopefully they remove this unnecessary limitation in the future, as it rather took the shine off the excitement leading up to the day. This aside, we still both left feeling the most relaxed and pampered we'd felt in a long time, and whenever we're next in the area we'll certainly be visiting again!

Boringdon Hall is an historic Country House Hotel with a beautifully equipped spa, located on the outskirts of Plymouth. The house itself has a colourful history: a 16th Century Tudor Manor House that once hosted the likes of Sir Walter Raleigh, it was remodelled in the 17th Century. The owners - the Parker family - moved permanently to nearby Saltram House in the 18th Century and the house, let to farmers, slowly deteriorated. It was partly demolished around 1800, but continued to be occupied until shortly after World War II. It was restored and rebuilt as a hotel 1986-7 and restored again after a fire in 1989. The Spa is a very recent addition. It's hard to describe as a hotel without the description sounding like that of a country house. The exterior has two splendid square towers, a smaller tower enclosing the large 17th staircase, and a wealth of Tudor doorways and windows. Inside, old doors abound, but the most impressive room by far is the lounge bar, located in the Great Hall. This has an original doorway and a restored fireplace dated 1640, with the Royal Arms of Ling Charles and two huge plaster caryatids (statues) representing peace and plenty. The decorated plaster ceiling is actually a modern pastiche, as is the panelling, but the staircase incorporates genuine 17th Century fragments. Off the bar are the Brasserie restaurant (where we ate) and the first floor gallery is used for both fine dining and breakfast. There's a "secret" bar accessed through a hidden door, and a quiet rear lounge. It's all furnished with large, traditional sofas and chairs. Rooms are scattered throughout the main house, and the former outbuildings and barns. In the main house, some are large and splendid in the four poster style, other spacious and modern (in the annex), but ours, in the east wing, was a more standard modern double, as you might find in a Marriott or Holiday Inn, albeit with two foot thick stone walls. Overall, we had a very comfortable stay. The bed was fabulous, and the room had nice touches such as a jar of locally baked shortbread with the tea/coffee facilities, fresh milk, water from the hotel's own artesian well. The toiletries were lovely if strongly scented. The breakfast was a mixture of cold buffet and hot food cooked to order, with vegetarian options. Both breakfast and dinner were fine, if not outstanding. (Dinner around £60 for two with a glass of wine.) Otherwise staff (mostly in their 20s) were lovely, ever present, and eager to please. The highlight, though, is the Spa. This includes a 20m swimming pool; a large hot water pool with an outdoor jacuzzi and several different water features; a well-equipped gym; two saunas, two steam rooms and a lapidarium, all with various treatments available. It's fitted to a high standard and free to hotel guests. We spent a couple of hours there before dinner every day. Practicalities: there are three car parks, the house bring accessed by a narrow drive, off a minor road on the edge of the sprawling suburb of Plympton. A car is pretty much essential, as it's up a steep hill and some way from public transport (it's about 5 miles from Plymouth station). It's well located to drive into southern Dartmoor, or the beautiful Saltram House and it's park (National Trust).

Recently stayed at this grand old hotel that I managed to book on book a room.com The only room available was a family room which we didn't really need for two of us but the price was good so I booked it. Am I glad I did, our room was in the courtyard away from the main building and it was an extremely comfortable, clean modern room that was extremely spacious with a lovely en suite I have to say this must be the best nights sleep I have ever had in a hotel, being in its own grounds there was no traffic or street noise and not even a peep from other guests. This was finally topped off with a superb full English breakfast. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a comfortable and peaceful nights stay in the Plymouth area

Boringdon Hall is an amazing old 16th century manor house with links to Henry the VIII.. In March 1989 part of the house was burnt down in a tragic fire and a lot of money was put into it to restore it back to its former glory. It is surrounded by 7acres of beautiful gardens and looks like something you would see in a film. It has 41 bedrooms and this includes 4 rooms with stunning four poster beds. Boringdon hall not only hosts wedding but they also run murder mystery nights and casino nights. You can also request to hold a conference there and they have a stunning restaurant if you fancy a meal out. My wife and I decided it was time to get married and although we weren't engaged we thought wed have a little look at a few wedding venues. A friend of a friend had recently had their reception at Boringdon Hall so we thought we'd take a look. It was about 10 minutes away from our parish church so thought it would be ideal if we liked it. We drove to plympton and it was sign posted from the main road which was very handy as we weren't entirely sure where it was even though we were both 'born and bred' plymouthians. There was a long driveway which headed up to the building which was shaded by trees which we thought would be great for photos (as long as we didn't get knocked over!). As we got closer and the building came into view it took my breath away. It was a stunning castle with so much character and I knew already that this was the place for us. We parked up and couldn't take our eyes off the place and I was hopeful that the inside would be as beautiful as the outside. As we walked through the front door there was a quirky little knights outfit free standing which made us laugh. We were greeted by our wedding coordinator who showed us around the rest of the building. The Great Hall was by far the greatest of all the rooms. The warm deep burgundy carpets and walls and the lavish heavy curtains make the whole room so comfortable. There is also a huge fireplace and above that a picture the size of my bedroom which depicts a fight scene from Henry the VIII time. The room where we would be having our reception if we decided to book the place wasn't the best room in the building but it seated a hundred people so it would be fine. There was also a fully licensed bar in the corner of the room too. There was no disabled access to the room either which could have been a problem because my husband has a disabled cousin and my nan could barely walk. By this point that didn't matter to me because I had already booked it and paid a deposit. I just hoped my wife to be was as eager as I was! Throughout the building the décor was tastefully suited to the building with lots of antiques placed here and there giving it such character. There was also lots of hidden staircases and little hideaways which I thought would be great for the younger children (and their parents!). The gardens were wonderful. I pictured all the lovely photos that we could have taken. There was a beautiful arbour in one part of the garden which sat next to a lovely, old lamp post. In another part there was a gorgeous sundial.. When the show around was over me and my husband to be walked around the gardens hand in hand and discussed how we felt about the place. Thankfully he felt the same so we booked it and had to pay the deposit within a week. It was quite expensive but no more than some other places we looked at and included in the over all price was one night b&b in a four poster bed room, the flowers and décor in the reception room. They wanted to charge us £10 a head for the evening buffet but when we told them that we couldn't really afford that they asked us what we could afford and did what they could for that amount which was great. We met with the wedding coordinator numerous times and she was amazing throughout the whole thing. She couldn't do enough to help us and kept in contact regularly. On the actual day everything went smoothly and it really was a dream. Id definitely recommend this place not only to get married in but to just take a look at. If you are visiting Plymouth at anytime go and take a look it will take your breath away.
