【推荐2】Romantic Spas

It’s a must for history lovers too, as the 16th century building at the heart of the hotel has been expertly restored and is surrounded by beautiful scenery.

Pennyhill Hotel, Surrey
With both indoor and outdoor pools, visitors have a lot of choices when it comes to taking a swim, and the ice cave and ballroom pool with underwater music keep things exciting. From the outside, the 19th century house looks more like something from a classic novel. With beautiful surrounding gardens, taking a walk could prove just as relaxing as the spa experience itself.
