Babington House is an oasis - top quality in every sense and surrounded by fields. I have heard it described as 'Notting Hill gone west', which is pretty accurate. When I was there last a model walked into the dining room in hotpants and very high platforms and didn't look remotely out of place! The food and wine is exceptional, the treatments are gorgeous and the experienced therapists are proud and happy to work there. I have stayed several times, always with girlfriends. The only downside is that they don't have very many twin-bedded rooms available so you need to book early if you're after a twin-bedded room. The rooms and bathrooms are beautifully done and everything is so restful. Highly recommended and an example of England doing something of truly world class standard.
