AS I step off the train in Bath on a crisp morning, I’m eager to send off winter in the same way that I commenced it—intentionally and with well-being at heart. The city’s golden-stone buildings stand tall against the winter sky, a timeless setting for restoration. A short taxi ride brings me to The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa, where PoB Hotels’ Nurture Your Soul journey unfolds.

Lunch at Montagu’s Mews sets the scene—seasonal, nourishing, and designed to fuel both my body and mind. Gemma Merna, actress and founder of Mind and Wellness, shares her philosophy on balance and inner peace. And after checking in, the afternoon slows into a rhythm of movement and mindfulness.
Pilates flows seamlessly into sound healing and meditation, the perfect reset after a week of noise and demands. As evening falls, dinner is unhurried, conversations drift, and the night ends with deep, uninterrupted rest.

The next morning, yoga at sunrise stretches out the stiffness of winter. The breath syncs with movement, the mind clears, and the day begins with intention. A wholesome breakfast follows, each bite a reminder that nourishment is an act of self-care. I spend my final hours in Bath walking its historic streets, taking in the fresh air, before it’s time to check out and step back into the world—lighter, clearer, rebalanced.

This weekend is just one of many PoB Hotels has crafted for Nurture Your Soul. Across the country, other sanctuaries await. Gemma’s bespoke journey through Northern England offers a deeper retreat—hiking through the countryside at Farlam Hall, unwinding in Seaham Hall’s award-winning spa, and finding stillness in Gilpin Hotel & Lake House’s treetop therapy rooms.
Beyond these curated breaks, PoB Hotels will host wellness retreats throughout 2025, bringing together sunrise yoga, sound healing, and expert-led workshops in destinations like Boringdon Hall, Ockenden Manor, and Whatley Manor. Gourmet meals, designed for both indulgence and well-being, complete the experience.
