I had a wonderful spa day at Bannatyne's this week. I had a massage late in the afternoon, but a…read morespa day gives you access to all the facilities for the whole day. So, in the morning I went to the gym, which has a great range of equipment. It was nice and clean and bright, and I enjoyed my work out. The rest of the day I spent in the spa area, the pool was a good size, not really big enough for an exercise type swim, but fine for a relaxing one. The jacuzzi, steam room and sauna where all great, and the loungers round the pool were comfy. Before my massage I spent some time on the heated 'sunbeds' in the treatment area, they're very nice! They'll get your muscles nice and relaxed before your massage! I had the bamboo massage which was great. The therapist didn't check with me before hand so I almost ended up having a Swedish. The massage was great, nice and firm, and really relaxing. Therapist was always checking I was ok with the pressure which was good. Had an awesome day, will definitely be back.

For my last birthday, I was lucky enough to experience two spas, ones of which was Weavers House in…read moreLavenham with my mum. Located directly behind The Swan Inn, it's a lovely rustic building in a very picturesque town. We were greeted by the usual waft of relaxing incense/beauty products, making everything feel very welcoming and fresh. The shop is also located in the reception so you can come in purely to browse and pick up some gifts if needed. The desk was busy on our arrival so we had a few minutes wait, but the welcome received after made up for it. The spa itself is quite small, with changing rooms, spa, sauna, outside hot tub and relaxation room, then the treatment tables located upstairs. Once changed, you're required to complete a consultation form, and unfortunately we were left waiting for a little while and started to get restless - we wanted to relax! A member of staff eventually came along and we were left to our own devices until our treatment time. The outside hot tub was actually quite fun, despite the increasing winds, and the sauna was perfect for drying off afterwards. There are plenty of towels available both in the changing room and outside each room so you don't have to keep anything soggy with you! Our massages were very relaxing and even included a small glass of sorbet and herbal tea afterwards to help continue the experience. Needless to say we were pretty much good for nothing afterwards! It's a shame the afternoon tea at the adjoining hotel wasn't up to the same standard but Weavers House certainly gave us the experience we were looking for.

I usually dreads every wax I get because I can't handle the pain but this place makes the experience almost enjoyable!

Well worth the money. 5 stars all round.
