About

No ordinary spa. The Garage is a building with history, preserved by its transformation from ancient stopping station to first-class spa.

Come and discover all you would expect of a modern spa and more; created with imagination and luxurious rural simplicity. A sumptuous decor awash with warm natural stone and timber welcomes you like an old friend.

Relax in our Shepherd’s Hut log sauna and hot tubs set in beautiful gardens, try our homemade snacks in between treatments and feel the warmth of natural stone in Romanesque steam rooms. Breathe the benefits of our salt room with its stunningly-lit, aromatherapy-infused ancient salt block wall or relax in our dry float rooms where you can float on water without getting wet. We’ve got it all, a real honest and luxurious experience to relish and we’re really looking forward to welcoming you to enjoy our unique facilities and our gorgeous bespoke treatments.

      Understaffed and underfunded! The spa manager is patronising and delusional, to think the place is at all acceptable to be classed as a fully working spa. It’s dirty, underwhelming, unfinished. Poor... Read full review
