SEPTEMBER ESCAPES
As the season turns and the days take on a gentler rhythm, embrace the natural pull to slow down and reconnect with oneself.
Immerse yourself in our SM Guide on the most restful, natural and restorative stays in the UK.
One of the UK's most thoughtful wellness escapes has to be Heckfield Place. Surrounded by its farmland, incredible gardens and woodlands - it's a retreat designed to connect with the land.
Its spiritual centrepiece is The Bothy by Wildsmith. Here youβll find a mineralised, βgold-cleansedβ pool (βThe Watersβ), treatment rooms, sauna, steam, movement studios and outdoor hydrotherapies. Phones are checked at the door, the soundscape is estate-born, and rituals follow circadian cues. Itβs designed to offer a deep reset.
SM to Pack:
This grown-ups-only, wood-and-glass hideaway overlooks Mawgan Porthβs wide sandy beach and is as eco-conscious as it is restorative.
Days revolve around dips in the reed-filtered pool, clifftop hot-tub sunsets, Ayurvedic-inspired rituals in tented treatment rooms, complimentary yoga, Tai Chi and coastal hikes complete the wellness line-up.

OUR NEXT CHAPTER
Thyme is that rare retreat where every detail feels rooted in nature, craftsmanship and calm.
At its heart is the Meadow Spa; an oasis of soft earthy tones and spring-water pools, where treatments using Aurelia probiotic skincare combine breathwork, botanical oils and mindful rituals to help you slow down.
Welcome to the next chapter of Sans Matin.
