Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to treat your mum or maternal figure to a special staycation. As a hotels expert and author of British Boutique Hotels, I’ve curated the finest UK escapes for a memorable Mother’s Day, whether you’re after spa time, countryside walks, or exceptional dining.
For restorative luxury, Heckfield Place in Hampshire offers a digital-free spa, woodland walks, and walled gardens. Special Mother’s Day weekend activities include cold water immersion, estate tours, and a plant sale with tulips and homemade preserves.
In London, The Ned provides Art Deco glamour with Sunday feasting at Cecconi’s and Millie’s Lounge, live music, and gifts for every mum. Guests can also enjoy pampering treatments at the Cowshed spa and stay in vintage-styled suites.
Beaverbrook in Surrey Hills is a Victorian manor set in 470 acres, featuring a spa, cinema, and Japanese restaurant. Treat mum to the ‘Wonderful Woman Spa Day’ with a massage, facial, lunch, and a sleepover in a Susie Atkinson-designed suite named after illustrious former guests.
In the Cotswolds, The Rectory Hotel near Malmesbury offers a cosy, honey-hued bolthole with garden strolls, long lunches at The Potting Shed, and games by the fire. Bedrooms are muted and soft, providing a countryside idyll without breaking the bank.
For an all-frills escape, The Newt in Somerset spans 850 acres with immaculate gardens, a spa, and farm-to-table dining. It’s a bells-and-whistles stay that promises to spoil mum rotten.
