What to expect

You can move from the 20-metre pool to the sauna, steam room and Moroccan hammam in one visit, then head into one of eight Cowshed treatment rooms for a massage or grooming treatment. Reviewers mention a warm welcome, careful staff and a space that feels well kept, with regular cleaning and a calm pool area that makes it easy to stay for longer. It works well if you want to swim a few lengths before treatment, or just unwind between meetings.

Plan your visit

For members of the public, a minimum spend on Spa Treatments unlocks the Spa Day Pass, giving you access to the pool, sauna and steam room for the day. Monday to Friday, that's a minimum spend of £200; Saturday and Sunday, it's £350. Bring swimwear if you want to use the pool and thermal rooms as part of your visit. It's worth allowing time for both the wet areas and the treatment rooms, so the experience feels complete rather than cut short.

What to expect

You can come here for a private therapy session, a hands-on introductory massage class, or a browse through the wellness products after your appointment. Reviews suggest the team is patient and welcoming, and that the teaching is practical rather than rushed. If you are learning, expect clear guidance and close support as you work through the basics of Thai massage technique, with the centre also serving people who want a straightforward, calm conversation with a therapist.

Plan your visit

For a first visit, decide whether you are coming for therapy, bodywork, or one of the introductory classes, as each needs a different mindset and pace. If you like to browse, leave a little extra time for the fragrance oils and organic goods after your appointment.

What to expect

Guests usually come here for focused treatments, especially deep tissue massage and physiotherapy, then make use of the spa areas at their own pace. The team is known for being attentive and clear about pressure and comfort, which helps if you want a more tailored session rather than a standard pamper stop.

Plan your visit

If you want the full reset, give yourself time for the spa circuit before your treatment. Bring swimwear for the wet areas, then plan to use the hammam, salt room and sauna before or after your massage so you’re not rushing from one room to the next.

What to expect

You’ll be greeted with polite customer handling and shown to a room that reviewers describe as neat and clean. The focus is on the massage itself, with a calm setup that suits a quick reset or a longer unwind. If you’re visiting with a partner or a friend, the service style works well for a shared plan. The team’s approach feels direct and well managed, which makes it easy to settle in and let the appointment do the work.

Plan your visit

Tell the therapist whether you want something firmer or gentler when you arrive, so the treatment matches your day. The tidy, no-fuss setup works well if you’re fitting in a session before or after work, or if you want a quieter stop with a friend or partner.

What to expect

You’ll usually be shown through treatment step by step, with time taken to explain what’s happening and keep the pressure gentle and comfortable. People come for body massage, facials, microneedling, or a head and lymphatic massage, and many leave saying they feel properly relaxed and looked after. The room is set up to feel warm and calm, with small details that make the session feel considered.

If you’re coming from work, this is an easy stop for a reset in the City, so it suits a lunch break or an after-work appointment. Bring a little time to settle in before your treatment, and if you’re booking microneedling, go with clear skin and plan a quiet finish afterwards.

What to expect

You’ll start by choosing the massage style and pressure that suits you, then settle into a simple treatment room where the attention stays on the massage itself. Guests often mention how clean and professional the space feels, along with the steady technique of the therapists. Chinese massage is the option people call out for firmer work on tight areas, while Swedish and Thai treatments give you more choice if you want something gentler or more stretching-led. It works well for a solo reset, a couple’s visit or a quiet pause after a busy day.

Plan your visit

Say what you want before the treatment starts, especially if you prefer firmer or lighter pressure. If you are deciding between styles, Chinese massage is the one reviewers praise for deeper work, while Swedish is the softer option. Keeping the rest of your day unhurried helps you enjoy the session more fully.

What to expect

You’ll be welcomed by staff who ask how firm you want the pressure, then work through a Thai combination massage with stretching and deeper holds. That makes it a good fit for stiff necks, knotted shoulders and post-flight back pain. Reviewers mention feeling much straighter and more relaxed afterwards, with treatment that stays focused on the spots that need it most.

Plan your visit

If you’re arriving with tight shoulders or jet lag, say so at the start and point out the areas that ache. The therapists are used to firm pressure and stretching, so a clear request helps them focus the session on your back, neck or legs.

What to expect

You’re likely to get a treatment that feels hands-on and targeted, with firm pressure where it’s needed and stretching built into the session when requested. Couples and joint massages are a strong part of the offer, so it suits a visit for two as well as a solo reset after work or travel. The style is direct, with the aim of leaving you looser and more mobile by the end of the appointment, rather than just relaxed in the moment.

Plan your visit

Tell the therapist at the start where you’re carrying tension, especially if it’s in your neck, shoulders or lower back. If you want a pair session, ask for a side-by-side set-up so both of you can have the same pace and pressure profile from the start.

What to expect

You’ll usually be there for a treatment-led appointment rather than a long spa circuit. The focus is on easing tension through a calm, professional session, with the option to pair massage and acupuncture when you want more than one approach in the same visit. It suits anyone dealing with stiffness from sitting at a desk, travel fatigue or general muscle tightness, and the feedback suggests the team pays close attention to what needs the most care.

Plan your visit

Go in with a clear idea of where you feel tension, as this helps the therapist focus the session. It’s a good fit when you want a practical reset rather than a full spa day, and it works well for a solo visit, a couples stop or a post-work appointment.

What to expect

The session is hands-on and responsive. Therapists ask about pressure, then adjust light, medium, or firm work as they go. You may get a Thai-style oil massage, targeted work on sore areas, or a facial massage if that is the treatment you choose. The room is described as clean and bright, with music playing through the appointment and a glass or bottle of water offered at the end. The pace stays calm and focused on the treatment itself.

Plan your visit

Tell the therapist early if you want firmer work or if certain areas need attention. The clinic is on an upper floor, so it suits visitors who are happy with stairs. If you’re heading in from a workday, it’s an easy place to book a reset before dinner or the journey home.
