Highly recommend Glasshouse Retreat for their spa treatments, premises and spa facilities are 5*, super clean and staff are very welcoming. The treatment rooms are designed and decorated to a high standard with relaxing surroundings including a heated water bed. Therapist Amy was brilliant, massage was incredibly relaxing and she really worked wonders with the tension in my back and shoulders, will definitely be back!
