Best Spas in Little Ribston

"If you want luxury, the Grand Hotel and Spa in York is unashamedly luxurious. The city’s only full AA 5-star establishment, it is in the process of a major £15m refurbishment. With the revamp well under way the hotel now boasts 207 guest bedrooms as well as new restaurants, an additional lounge, terrace and bars."

"A majestic Edwardian building, transformed into a luxury hotel at the heart of the city. Elegant hospitality is everywhere, in the rooms, the public areas and the spa. Excellent food is also on offer at Hudson’s and The Rise Restaurant."

"As the destination restaurant within York’s only five-star hotel, it will come as no surprise that Hudson’s deals exclusively in tasting me ..." Read our full review"

"Last but certainly not least, Thorpe Park Spa Leeds, a colossal Leeds hotel and spa. This Leeds spa isn’t shy when it comes to its facilities, we’re talking seven treatment rooms, relaxation lounge, manicure & pedicure stations, swimming pool, colour therapy sauna, steam room, indoor whirlpool, outdoor terrace and even afternoon tea!. The rooms all provide a reassuringly comfortable and relaxing environment and even come with biscuits and refres­hments!"

"This upmarket modern hotel, close to the M1 and five miles east of central Leeds, stands out for its creative dining and its extensive health and wellbeing facilities. The latter include a large swimming pool, a well-equipped gym and high-quality treatments using ESPA and Natura Bisse products."

"Nature-inspired fine dining with seasonal ingredients from the kitchen garden. Enjoy contemporary fine dining in stunning surroundings @hortoatrp #food #oxtail #finedining #foodie #instafood #horto #harrogate. A post shared by Rudding Park (@ruddingparkhotel) on Feb 21, 2018 at 1:17am PST"

"This three AA rosette restaurant uses fresh seasonal ingredients (Horto stands for ‘Kitchen Garden’) and offers guests a choice of à la carte and a tasting menu. Also at Rudding Park is The Clock Tower which offers a range of menus including Afternoon Tea and the popular Yorkshire Tapas."

"One of the most prestigious hotels and country retreats in the whole of the UK, Rudding Park can be found on the outskirts of Harrogate within an endlessly tranquil setting which includes pristine gardens. The Hotel has a sensational reputation for its high levels of service, its focus on providing a luxurious experience for all guests and, of course, its exceptional Spa. The proud recipient of a seemingly countless array of top industry awards, this spa in Harrogate features an indoor pool, a unique log sauna, bucket showers and an array of treatment rooms which cover everything from mud rasul, manicures, pedicures, make up, hair and much more."

"Imagine Spa at Dower House in Knaresborough, offers a truly tranquil spa experience in relaxing surroundings. They have a number of spa experience packages on offer, ranging in price from £25 for two hours in the thermal suite to £145 for a full day of pampering including two hours of treatments and three hours in the Thermal Suite. Experiences at Imagine Spa fall under three categories: Discover, Enrich or Induldge."

"If you’re after cool-toned colours, roll-top baths and an enviable wine cellar, you’ll feel right at home at Hotel du Vin. The hotel is described as “the epitome of northern splendour” – thanks to the fine-dining menu of steak haché and moules frites, the decadent dining spaces, and the stunning rooms located inside a magnificent Grade II listed building."

"Hotel du Vin & Bistro York offers luxury and quality that should impress even the most discerning guest. Bedrooms are stylish, and bathrooms feature huge monsoon showers and roll-top baths. Dinner in the bistro is a memorable highlight."

"This pop-up French restaurant that takes over Le Chalet’s tearoom every Friday and Saturday night. It specialises in two very specific French delicacies. You can melt raclette over potatoes, charcuterie and cornichons or dip French bread into a molten pot of Emmental, Brie and Gruyère fondue."

"Kendell’s is the most famous French restaurant in Leeds – and it’s easy to see why. Not only is the food good, but the atmosphere is incredible – you’ll step into a candlelit bistro where the blackboard displays a new menu daily. What they serve depends on the fresh, seasonal produce they can get their hands on, but you can expect the likes of salmon en croute, porc boulangère and créme brûlée."

"We all know that France has an incredible culinary reputation, and Kendells Bistro certainly does it justice. They offer a romantic fine dining experience in an intimate restaurant, which is perfect for special occasions. The menu changes daily, depending on the fresh, seasonal produce they can source, and it’s written on the blackboard, which you can view with the binoculars provided."

"Fika North is a Scandinavian-inspired speciality coffee shop in Headingley. The name comes from a Swedish tradition that’s all about enjoying good coffee with great friends and that’s exactly what you can do here. It’s a relaxed hang-out with modern furniture and loads of leafy plants."

"Fika North is one of the best speciality coffee shops in Leeds. It’s a stylish Scandinavian-inspired joint with real Yorkshire spirit. You can try brews from a rotating line-up of local roasters like Pink Lane, Maude and Casa Espresso."

"Its New York-inspired interior and state of the art DJ booth (don’t worry, it’s not blasting out tunes at 3pm in the afternoon) draw cool crowds, but there’s no doubt it’s one of Leeds’ most child-friendly bars. A warm welcome is extended to all, although their collection of 80s board games go down especially well with younger visitors. They don’t have a kids’ menu, but everything is such great value that you won’t mind one bit."

"Barley Hall is a timber framed medieval townhouse lying behind Stonegate, accessed by a narrow snicket. The 14th century house was concealed under the framework of a more modern building and was only discovered during renovation work in the 1980’s. Barley Hall, particularly its recreated banqueting hall, will provide visitors with an accurate experience of what life was like in medieval York."

"If you want to take a photo wearing a traditional medieval cape in some beautiful surroundings (as well as learn more about the relationship of science, religion and chemistry in the Middle ages in York), head to the Barley Hall, where you can do all that."
