As the surrounding Devon countryside turns golden and the evenings draw in, autumn is the season for quiet getaways at Boringdon Hall.
Whether you are dreaming of a soothing spa retreat, an evening of MICHELIN Star dining or simply time away together before Christmas gathers pace, Boringdon Hall offers a beautiful change of scene just 20 minutes from Plymouth. Rest in rooms shaped by centuries of history, find a favourite corner beside the fire and settle into the comforting rhythm of autumn within the walls of this 16th-century Elizabethan manor.
Welcome to the autumn table
At Boringdon Hall, autumn is a time for indulgence, where the season is served beautifully. Settle in for lunch or dinner at the 2 AA Rosette Mayflower Brasserie after a day exploring Plymouth, Dartmoor or the Devon countryside. For an evening to remember, take a seat at MICHELIN Star and 4 AA Rosette Àclèaf, where menus follow the season and each dish is paired with expertly selected wines. From 13th to 18th October, discover An Ode to Dessert, a bespoke tasting menu of six imaginative courses specially crafted in honour of National Dessert Day
On an autumnal afternoon, there’s nothing quite like a spot of tea and cake. Afternoon Tea is served daily in the Great Hall or the intimate Mayflower Brasserie, with special themes arriving throughout the season, from the refined Sense and Sensibility Afternoon Tea serving until 23rd October, and enchanting Wands & Wizards Afternoon Tea serving until12th November, to the first sparkle of Festive Afternoon Tea.
A season of stillness
At Boringdon Hall, the award-winning, adults-only Gaia Spa offers a cocoon of calm as the weather cools. Sink into the hydrotherapy pool, unwind in serene spaces, search for stars in the outdoor hot tubs, and choose soothing GAIA treatments designed to restore body and mind. Escape for a few transformative hours with tranquil spa days, from Sunrise Sessions on crisp autumn mornings to full spa day experiences, and Twilight & Dine packages that turn everyday evenings into something special.
For time away together, The Autumn Ritual invites you to escape on a one-night spa break made for two, available Sunday to Friday on selected dates throughout September and October. If you’re in need of a longer restorative retreat, explore one, tow and three-night Signature Spa Breaks, or arrive for a Sunday Spa Break and make the weekend last a little longer.
Events for a pause from the everyday
Autumn brings a varied programme of events to Boringdon Hall's historic rooms. Step inside the Secret Bar for fireside whiskey tasting with The Macallan, play detective over dinner at our Murder Mystery evenings, and join creative wreath making workshops and calligraphy workshops as the festive season approaches. In late November and December, make memories with the little ones on a family day at our Santa’s Grotto and Festive Afternoon Teas with Father Christmas.
However you choose to visit, whether it’s for a luxurious overnight break, a day in the spa, or a special dinner, Boringdon Hall offers a memorable escape just beyond Plymouth. Pair it with days beside the waterfront, adventures on Dartmoor or journeys along the Devon coast, then return to crackling fires, seasonal flavours and the quiet grandeur of a manor made for autumn.
