This year all fans of the Olympic superstar, Jessica Ennis-Hill, have joined her in wholehearted joy to see her become a first time mum. In the lead up to the birth of baby Reggie however, she took a little time out to relax and pamper the prenatal way at the glorious Ragdale Hall in Leicestershire…
First Impressions
My first thought on arrival is that the house is absolutely stunning and the staff are extremely welcoming.
Naturally, the spa is extremely relaxing but it also has a lot to offer in terms of facilities and different areas to unwind, as well as offering an extremely wide range of lovely treatments to choose from.
The restaurant offers great variety of healthy food for lunch and dinner, but for breakfast you can have the added luxury of breakfast in bed if you want!
As I have said, the location is just beautiful. You feel as though you are in the middle of nowhere and you can switch off from everything.
The Verdict
Put simply, Ragdale Hall makes for a beautiful luxury spa getaway.
