A spa day built round one proper treatment
Four or five hours at The Farmhouse: a robe, your aroma, a ritual on a heated bed, the lounge with a heated eye mask, and lunch. For one, two, three or four of you. No pool to queue for; nothing to rush.

Every spa day at The Farmhouse runs the same way; what changes is the treatment in the middle and who you bring.

- The welcomeA smoothie, pastries or cake; the seasonal day has its own, and the couples day a drink and a light bite.
- Your treatmentSixty minutes on the half day, the seasonal day and the couples day; the full two-hour Deeply Grounded ritual on the Signature day.
- The loungeA heated eye mask, the fire, refreshments, and nothing you have to be anywhere for.
- LunchOne course from the spa menu, in the lounge. On a later start it becomes supper.
Six ways to spend the afternoon
Prices are per person unless it says otherwise. Monday to Thursday is the quieter, cheaper time; the rooms are the same.

For three or four of you
The same day, booked for all of you at once so you are in the lounge together between treatments. Four of you for an afternoon is close to having the place to yourselves; for a hen or a birthday with more of you, see private hire.
- Three of you£420 to £450
- Four of you£560 to £600
Two of you on the half day or the seasonal day, booked as one: £280 Monday to Thursday, £300 Friday to Sunday. Choose the “for 2”, “for 3” or “for 4” version in the booking panel.
Turn it into the day
Any treatment becomes a half day for a little more: the welcome, the lounge with a heated eye mask, and lunch added on. £45 with a 60-minute ritual, £60 with a 90, £80 with the 120-minute Deeply Grounded ritual. Add it when you book, or ring; the kitchen likes to know by the morning.

Every review of The Farmhouse on Google since we opened. A few of them, each quoted as it was written.
“The most amazing 4 hrs. From the welcome, to treatment. The food and drink and the most relaxing surroundings.”
Pam, on Google“I spent four hours there but it felt so much longer in terms of how relaxed and rejuvenated I felt. I’ve already booked another!”
Heidi, on Google“From the moment we stepped through the doors, the outside world simply melted away.”
Huda, the Couples Retreat, on Google“Surroundings and treatments were divine and having the time to relax and eat in the cottage was wonderful.”
Lindsey, on GoogleEight questions, answered
What is lunch on a spa day?
One course from the spa menu, served in the lounge; a later start makes it supper. Tell us about allergies and preferences when you book and the kitchen will cook round them.
Do we have to arrive together?
Yes, please: a spa day for two, three or four is one booking, with everyone arriving at the same time and in the lounge together between treatments. The two treatment rooms mean two of you are treated at once and the others relax until it is their turn.
Can we have a facial instead of a massage?
Yes. The half day, the couples day and the pregnancy day all let you choose, and the Signature day’s two-hour ritual is body and face together. Tell us your choice when you book, or on the day after your sensory test.
How do we book a spa day for two?
Pick the “for 2” version of the day in the booking panel; it is one booking for both of you. The Couples Retreat is its own day with a few extras built in. For three or four, pick that version and we book the rooms in sequence.
What should we wear?
Whatever is comfortable; you change into a robe and slippers when you arrive, and there is a changing room with a toilet at The Farmhouse. No pool, so no swimwear needed for a treatment or a spa day; for the sauna bring swimwear or use a towel. Leave valuables at home or in your room, as there are no lockers.
What if we have a health condition, or are pregnant?
Tell us before you come, on the consultation form you fill in when you book, and Claire, the Spa Manager, will ring if there is anything to talk through. Some rituals are not suitable in pregnancy or with certain conditions; the two pregnancy rituals and the facials usually are, from the second trimester. Please note that there are steps into The Farmhouse and up to the treatment rooms.
How do we pay, and what if we need to cancel?
Treatments and spa days are paid in full when you book, by card, unless they are part of a hotel package or paid with a voucher. The cancellation terms are shown before you pay; if your plans change, ring us as early as you can on 01422 240024 and we will do what we can with the diary.
How do we use a gift voucher?
Ring 01422 240024 with the voucher number and we book you in against it. Vouchers are for any treatment, spa day or amount, and last twelve months. Buy one here.
