My wife and I visited for a relaxing weekend away, and the massage I had was a 25 minute back massage and then a 25 min facial, both absolutely amazing best massage I’ve had in years. Only criticism is they didn’t have a dressing gown in my size or slippers, was a bit embarrassing in the spa reception trying on different gowns in front of other guests. Overall though a very pleasant experience.
