SPA & WELLNESS

We hope that you will find your time with us both relaxing and rejuvenating.

This guide will help you make the most out of your stay, so do read the advice given below - if you have any questions, please just ask!

1. Don’t over-pack! Your stay at Bishopstrow is a time to relax and forget your worries, so try to keep things simple by packing light. Do remember to bring a bathing costume or two, sun cream, a hat and a good book for the warmer days in our gardens.

• We provide complimentary flip flops and free use of a robe and towel during your stay as we want you to feel completely at ease and comfortable.

• State-of-the-art changing rooms and large lockers to keep all your belongings safe, especially if you’re staying for the day and having dinner.

• Please advise on booking if you or any of your party members are pregnant or may be pregnant on the date of arrival. Certain areas of the spa are not recommended for pregnant guests due to the raised levels of heat, however, we do offer a range of treatments for Mums to be.

• Please arrive at spa reception 10 minutes before your treatment appointment so that we can dedicate the right amount of time to you.

• It is best not to wear any jewellery, apart from a wedding or engagement ring, as your therapist will ask you to remove it before your treatment starts and we would not want anything precious to go missing.

• Drink plenty of water after your treatments and throughout the day to keep your body well-hydrated.

• To get maximum benefit from your body treatments we recommend that you use our thermal suite, such as our relaxing sauna and steam room, prior to your treatment to help relax your muscles, open your pores and start unwinding.

• If you plan to exercise then fit this in before any treatments, as opposed to afterwards, so that you can gain the full relaxing benefits of your treatment.

• The spa is allowing you to escape from the stress and speed of daily life, so please no mobile phones or tablets in our treatment rooms or relaxation area.

• While you’re at Bishopstrow, we want you to be able to escape from the world. But we know it’s also important for you to be able to stay in touch with home or work while you’re away, so all our bedrooms and areas have free Wi-Fi access.

Did you know, we also have a unique water supply collected from our own Borehole that feeds the spa. Extracted from deep underground, filtered through limestone and natural activated carbon which brings the water into its perfect condition. It's then filtered and sterilised a second time and is then ready for consumption at the hotel. Pure freshwater from deep underground and it's incredibly good for you! Just try the water in the hotel, for a very surprising and healthy experience of pure water that all guests enjoy.
