We then had 2 x 30 minute treatments which were wonderful. Usually when you go for a package the treatments feel a bit rushed and you don't necessarily get the full experience, but not here.
We will definitely be going back.
I've never had a massage before due to being a bigger woman and having low self esteem. I thought it was time to treat myself and wanted to book one of their spa days with my best friend as a Christmas present, so booked in for a massage and to get a feel for the place first before spending significant money here.
I was greeted with two young girls (wasn't the warmest of welcomes) one of which looked at me as if I was in the wrong place. I sat down and filled in my forms in, to overhear them whispering and giggling whilst looking over at me. I know I can't prove they were giggling at me but nonetheless it made me feel really uncomfortable and conscious.
'It's okay' I thought to myself.. I'm sure the massage therapist will make me feel more comfortable.. to my shock one of them walks over and says 'follow me I'll be doing your massage'. Now it clicks as to why they were giggling.. I wanted the ground to swallow me up and made it very clear I was feeling uncomfortable, so much so I opted for a completely different massage once we got in the room (I would have left completely had there not been the cancellation policy).
Don't get me wrong the place is absolutely beautiful and I would have been a very loyal customer had my first experience been a nice one. Upon leaving I was asked if everything was okay to which I replied 'fine' as I just wanted to get out as quick as possible.. the experience has completely put me off massages and I wont be returning or booking any further treatments which is a shame.
