Solent Hotel & Spa, Hampshire, South East England

• Best of both worlds: A perfect base for both city and countryside escapades, Solent Hotel & Spa occupies a prime location between the coastal cities of Portsmouth and Southampton, with easy access to some of the southwest's most scenic national parks. Whether you're looking for a rest-and-ramble respite, a serene spa stay or dining delights, this low-key hotel has got you covered.

• Award-winning dining: A chic space with a relaxed vibe, the FYR Grill offers guests options to dine both indoors and alfresco (weather permitting, of course). Drawing upon the best of the region's fresh and seasonal ingredients, the head chef rustles up contemporary dishes with subtle Mediterranean influences and a clear nod to British tradition – it's no wonder it was awarded an AA Rosette. There's also hearty pub fare on offer at The Parson's Collar.

• Soul-soothing spa: Nestled in mature woods and ancient meadowland, the hotel spa offers an indoor pool, salt sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi and storm shower. A pampering massage menu is available and, should you wish to really indulge, you can order a glass of bubbly and afternoon tea to enjoy poolside in your bathrobe and slippers (fees apply).
