The Garage Spa


The Garage Spa has a fascinating past, transformed from an ancient stopping station into a modern spa. Today it’s part of the historic Morritt Country House Hotel and embraces its background by offering quirky themed names for spa facilities and services. The spa has both indoor and outdoor hot tubs, a steam room, salt inhalation room and a hammam. Treatments by Elemis, Biotech and Caci sit alongside Mii manicures and pedicures, beauty treatments and alternative therapies.

"The girls were lovely, had a lovely body massage, food was gorgeous, but I'm sorry to say the hot tub outside had black scum on it. The cabin outside which holds the sauna the wood seating on one part had come away and there were nails on show, which to me was a hazard. "

"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"
