Public Opinion

What others are saying

"An open-air hot tub in the roof-line after a Sauna and 'couples room' treatments followed by a delicious dinner in the attached hotel, what could be better? Only the friendly, helpful and discreet service throughout. Highly recommended. Note that the famous 'Bowes Museum' at Barnard Castle is nearby too. David"

"Quirky, different, stylish a definite one of a kind spa. Lovely courtyard garden to sit out in when it’s sunny. It’s like a little mini discovery cove where you wonder what’s round the corner. "

"This spa is a little treasure it’s self and not forgetting the staff, what a beautiful safe haven for anyone looking for a relaxing day. I can’t recommend enough the salt room it’s fantastic and sure I feel asleep in there for a few minutes, the garage spa has five bubbles but in my opinion it’s above and beyond. If you have the chance please go and treat yourself you won’t be disappointed. "
