And The Elms has made its top ten list, with an endorsement saying: "The Elms Hotel and Spa is no ordinary country spa.

"Though it may have manicured gardens, and architecture that could have been taken straight from Downton Abbey, the interior of the spa is not quite what you may expect.

"The two-storey Greenhouse Spa is unlike any other, with foliage tumbling from the walls and ceilings creating a botanical wonderland.

"Though it may be autumn outside, the tropical surroundings of the pool will transport you to a different climate - perfect for those craving a trip to warmer climes during the latter months of the year."

Mr Bevan said they had grown their membership by 100 in the past 18 months and said people were impressed by the spa which is botanical-themed. 

He said: "We are always looking to push on - we not so long ago opened the double treatment room, and the next piece in the puzzle will be how we develop the outdoor space. "

He added they had recently rebranded and launched a new website, theelmshotel.co.uk, to make it even easier for people to book.
