Lush Spa
Pitched as a ‘traditional English country
spa’ and set in a country kitchen before
you enter the treatment room, the Lush
Spa is a bit different and has a range of
quirky treatments which are a bit like a
spa equivalent of a Heston Blumenthal
dish. Try the Lush Sound Bath – an hour
of relaxation and sound therapy (£70),
including a hot and cold stone facial and
a scalp massage.
