Autumn at the Enchanted Place on the Hill: A Season to Reset, Reflect, and Relax

Whatever your reason, autumn is the perfect season to step away from life’s demands and embrace a slower, more mindful pace.


Autumn has a way of slowing the world down. The long, sun-filled days of summer fade into crisp mornings, golden leaves, and the soft scent of woodsmoke in the air. It’s a season that invites reflection - a time to pause, take stock of the year so far, and turn a new page before the year’s final chapter.

Maybe you’ve bought a new diary, eager to set fresh intentions. Perhaps you’re looking for a moment of stillness to recharge after a busy summer. There’s no better place to do so than Boringdon Hall - the enchanted place on the hill.

Your Autumn Escape Awaits

Our 16th-century manor, surrounded by the rolling Devon countryside, offers everything you need for a truly restorative getaway: exquisite rooms, award-winning spa facilities, nourishing seasonal dining, and access to nature’s most beautiful autumn walks.

The Signature Spa Break - Your Path to Renewal

If there’s ever a time to treat yourself, it’s now. Our Signature Spa Break is designed to rejuvenate both body and mind in the peaceful surroundings of our historic home. Available as a one, two, three, or four-night stay, it includes:

  • Full breakfast in the Mayflower Brasserie or Spatisserie at Gaia Spa
  • 60-minute GAIA spa treatment per person
  • Complimentary membership to award-winning adult-only Gaia Spa for the duration of your stay
  • 10% off any additional spa treatments pre-booked

Between treatments, slip into the infinity pool, unwind in the hydrotherapy pool, or simply relax in your fluffy robe with a good book, watching the autumn light dance across the moors.

Dining to Nourish and Delight

Autumn dining at Boringdon is all about comfort, flavour, and the best seasonal produce. Choose to indulge in a Michelin-starred dining experience at Àclèaf, where Head Chef Scott Paton’s inventive British menus are paired with the finest wines.

For something more relaxed, the Mayflower Brasserie offers fresh, seasonal dishes in a warm, welcoming setting. Afternoon Tea, served daily in the dramatic Great Hall, is a true indulgence - think delicate pastries, warm scones, and the finest teas, enjoyed as golden leaves fall outside.

Manor House Charm and Cosy Comfort

After a day of spa bliss and seasonal dining, retreat to your room. Our exquisite rooms and suites are rich in character, blending period details like stone fireplaces and roll-top baths with luxurious touches for modern comfort. It’s the kind of place where you’ll want to curl up with a good book, wrap yourself in a soft blanket, and let the quiet warmth wash over you. Here, time seems to slow, inviting you to pause, reflect, and simply savour the calm, comforting stillness of the moment.

Walks Worth Wandering

Autumn in Devon is a walker’s dream. From gentle strolls through our manicured grounds to invigorating hikes on the edge of Dartmoor, the scenery is a tapestry of russet, gold, and amber. It’s the perfect backdrop for reflection, inspiration, and those slow, soul-nourishing conversations with the people who matter most. Whether you’re seeking peaceful solitude to gather your thoughts or a joyful ramble with your four-legged friend, these paths invite you to slow down and soak it all in.

Make Time for You This Autumn 

This is your season to pause. To breathe. To reset. Whether it’s a midweek spa escape or a long weekend retreat, Boringdon Hall offers the perfect setting to reflect on the year so far and prepare for what’s ahead.

Book your autumn stay and let the enchanted place on the hill be your haven of rest and renewal.
