The Ringwood Hall Hotel and Spa are pleased to announce they have been awarded the prestigious 4 star AA rating, also marked as a 4 star hotel on the agoda, along with the announcement of the opening date for The Garden Secret Spa which will open its doors on Friday 18th May.



Ringwood Hall has always been well known for its incredible, customer service, hospitality, grounds and being one of the area’s leading hotels, but after an amazing development schedule the hotel enters a new stage. In January the hotel received a Civic Honour, acknowledging the years Charles Paxton Markham lived at Ringwood Hall. The commemorating plaque proudly celebrates the historic significance of the grade 2 listed hall.

Recently purchased by new owners in 2016 the stunning building dating back from 1823 has received over £2 Million of Investment over the past 18 months, and further projects are already planned. The hotel and its team have been working hard over the past year to implement new ideas, services and products to its guests and on Wednesday 18th April the hotel was visited by the AA’s Mystery Shopper who announced the hotel had achieved its 4 Star Status.



The announcement has come at a perfect time for the hotel, which is just about to open its doors to their new Garden Secret Spa. The Luxury Spa has been under construction since early December and is to officially open on Friday 18th May. The separate spa building features a Vitality Pool, Herbal Sauna, Foot Spas, Himalayan Salt Sauna, Blossom Steam Room, Ice Fountain, Experience Showers, Relaxation Lounges, 7 treatment rooms and its own Brassiere. The Garden Secret Spa is Derbyshire’s newest luxury spa and offers not only a great service to their guests but Derbyshire and Yorkshire residents also.


Rona Davies, General Manager of the Hotel said “We are delighted to have been awarded the 4 star status, the team have worked incredibly hard over the past year to ensure that our service exceeds our guest’s expectations and this accolade truly rewards their efforts. Having been at the hotel for 19 years, the recent investment into the product and the opening of the spa, gives Ringwood Hall Hotel and Spa a new and welcomed lease of life”
