The top hotels in the UK to take your mum, whether you fancy a trip to Bath or a country spa escape.

Being apart from mum was one of the hardest bits about lockdown – we missed spending time with our best friend and enjoying life’s little pleasures together.

Now that hotels have put in extra cleaning measures to protect us and have begun reopening to the public, we can’t think of a better time to plan a relaxing escape at a mother-daughter hotel.

Here are our top picks for hotels that are ideal for mini-breaks with your mum.

Reunite for pampering, dinners and a special Clarins gift at Ragdale Hall Spa, Leicestershire

With its classical Victorian architecture and stunning rooftop infinity pool overlooking the grounds, this country house hotel and spa in Leicestershire has long been a favourite of ours.

One of the most luxurious and relaxing health spas in the country, Ragdale has won a string of awards for its facilities and outstanding service.
