Enjoy the soft hush of summer days within our Devon retreat
When summer settles over the Devon countryside, Boringdon Hall takes on a quiet kind of beauty. Mornings begin gently, afternoons linger, and by evening the manor is wrapped in a golden glow.
At our 16th-century Elizabethan manor house hotel on the edge of Plymouth, enjoy a historic stay shaped by stillness, comfort and quiet indulgence. Boringdon Hall becomes your country retreat in summer – a place for sun-dappled days in Devon, elevated evenings and the simple pleasure of time slowing down.
Take a seat on the sprawling lawn with something chilled, relax in the Great Hall as the light filters through latticed windows, and while away the hours in Gaia Spa.
There is something deeply restorative about summer here; with a sense of space, softness and ease felt as soon as you arrive.
The art of unwinding
At the adults-only Gaia Spa, summer offers an invitation to unwind, with sun-warmed rituals of renewal, peaceful hours by the pool and on the terrace, and moments designed for switching off and reconnecting. It’s your serene, sunlit sanctuary that brings a softer rhythm to the season.
For those seeking a deeper reset, discover spa breaks at Boringdon Hall. From midweek Mini Retreats with gentle wellness classes and nourishing dining, to Signature Spa Breaks, Sunday Spa Breaks and our curated GAIA MenoPAUSE Break, enjoy space for rest and comfort. Whether for one night or a little longer, each stay is designed to leave you feeling lighter, calmer and fully restored.
The art of exquisite dining
Summer is beautifully served at Boringdon Hall. At Àclèaf, our MICHELIN Star and 4 AA Rosette restaurant, flavours of the season are expressed with precision and grace, accompanied by wine pairings that mirror the mood of the moment. For a more relaxed evening, the Mayflower Brasserie offers beautifully crafted dining in an atmosphere made for lingering conversation.
Afternoon tea feels perfectly at home in the summer season. Served daily from 1-4pm, enjoy a slower kind of indulgence. Savour Traditional Afternoon Tea in June, Wimbledon Afternoon Tea in early July to celebrate the tennis championships, or a nostalgic Teddy Bear’s Picnic Afternoon Tea. Sip, savour and stay a while.
Step into summer at the manor
The summer calendar at Boringdon Hall brings occasions aplenty, from wine tasting evenings to immersive Murder Mystery Nights that add a little theatre to the manor.
Beyond the estate, Plymouth and the surrounding Devon area offer gentle opportunities to explore, before returning for spa time, tea on the lawn or a quiet hour before dinner.
Whether you come for a restorative spa break, an indulgent dining escape or simply a few days to savour the season, settle into spaces that feel timeless, elegant and quietly luxurious. At Boringdon Hall, discover the art of an English summer.
