• “We had a lovely spa day with afternoon tea for my sisters 40th birthday. The service was great, facilities were great, the treatments were amazing & we really enjoyed the afternoon tea. The timings were arranged well so we had enough time to enjoy the spa, have our treatments then head down for afternoon tea. Would definitely recommend” - Anonymous (27/11/2025)
