WHEN they're not busy presenting hit TV shows or performing to sell-out audiences across the globe, Caroline Flack, Kylie Minogue and co treat themselves to some pampering at these chic country boltholes.
Whether you like the sound of chilling in the sunshine at an urban outdoor beach, getting back to nature at a lakeside retreat or tucking into home-grown food at a shabby chic country house, take your pic from these luxurious UK spots and prepare to unwind in style…
THE PIG – near Bath
Alexa Chung, Daisy Lowe and Caroline Flack retreated to this boutique hotel for some post-Glastonbury pampering earlier this month.
Bubbly presenter Caroline posted a snap of her dining with chart-topper Sam Smith on Instagram, writing: "Post glasto lobster."
With its rural Somerset location and comfy furnishings, the 29 bedroom mellow country house is the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Although it's tempting to hideaway in the snug, shabby chic bedrooms with their fluffy four poster beds, freestanding baths and larders stocked with tasty snacks, make time to visit the greenhouse restaurant – the dining experience is not to be missed.
Famous for its hearty British menu, the Victorian-inspired conservatory dining room offers simple yet exquisite dishes made with ingredients fresh from the kitchen garden.
Book in for some pampering at the Potting Shed spa, an original garden shed that has been transformed into a charming treatment room – OK! Online loves THE PIG Signature Treatment, £140 for 120 minutes, which incorporates a body polish and full body massage designed to soothe your senses and leave you feeling energised.
On the 14th September, THE PIG – near Bath will host Smoked & Uncut, its very own mini music festival and hog roast.
Book in for a stay and you might just bump into music-loving Caroline or Alexa…
Lower Mill Estate
When Kylie Minogue wants to get away from it all, she checks in for a relaxing break at Lower Mill Estate in the Cotswolds.

Just 30 minutes outside of London, The Grove Hotel & Spa is the perfect rural escape for busy city dwellers.
One Direction, Denise Van Outen and Emma Watson are just some of the stars that have booked in for a luxury getaway at this contemporary country estate set in 300 acres of parkland, woods and gardens.
Boasting an 18 hole championship golf course, an award-winning spa and three outstanding restaurants – fine dining at Colette's, hearty food at The Stables and modern cuisine at The Glasshouse – it's safe to say The Grove has everything you need and more.
Treat yourself to an ESPA Personalised Facial at Sequoia Spa, £95 for 55 minutes, a bespoke treatment designed to deeply cleanse and exfoliate the skin using lymphatic massage, an indulgent face mask and calming scalp massage.
The Walled Garden is a unique outdoor enclosure that ensures the hotel truly comes into its own during the summer months.
Relax on the urban beach complete with volleyball, deck chairs and colourful beach huts, sunbathe by the luxurious heated pool while sipping a cocktail from the Beach Bar, or enjoy quintessentially English lawn games such as croquet and giant chess.
We can't think of a better place to enjoy summer in the UK.
