Upgrade to a Cotswolds Spa Break – 5 easy ways

The last few months have been such an ordeal for everyone. We expect you could do with some recovery pampering as soon as is safely possible.

A stay in Broadway at Cotswolds Place’s Chancewell is a restful retreat in itself – a stylish escape to get away from the everyday and enjoy a simpler way of being. Characterful convenience along the pretty High Street and beautiful country walks from your doorstep make the practicalities of a short stay easy and relaxing.

But if you’d like to take self-care things a step further with a spa day or treatment during your visit, there are a few great options within easy reach. Relax with professional help, then come home to your apartment for as much additional rest as you wish.

1. The Lygon Spa:

Just across the road, the Lygon Arms Hotel has been in the hospitality business for 350+ years. Its spa facilities are thankfully much more contemporary and include an indoor pool, jacuzzi, steam rooms and sauna. A beauty room, nail bar and treatment rooms are all a short bath-robed walk away.

You can see the Lygon Spa Day options here and it’s also possible to buy a half/full day pool pass or treatments only.

2. Zen Pamper Company:

If you’d prefer your treatments to come to you, in absolute privacy, then Zen Pamper Company can fix this. As a mobile service, your therapist will bring her massage table, relaxing music, essential oils and all else required to set up a comfortable treatment room in your own living area at Cotswolds Place’s Chancewell apartment.

There’s a 90 minute minimum booking, so treat yourself to a full session or share the time as a couple, with your children or friends. Choose from the Gold and Platinum options and consider a ‘Girls Pamper Party’ for 8-16 year olds or a ‘Wellness for Cancer Massage’ for those with cancer at any stage of treatment. See the options here or phone Zoe for more information on 0797 7611065.

3. Dormy House Spa:

“Walk in. Float out.” So encourages Dormy House Spa, a short drive away. Located on nearby Farncombe Estate, it’s based in a 17th century farmhouse, now expensive hotel. Award-winning and very indulgent, Dormy House offers a candlelit infinity pool and tranquil Scandi-style thermal suite.

Spa Day packages are available Monday-Friday and include a two-course lunch with a glass of champagne plus access to the Spa between 9am and 5:30pm. There’s a special package for pampering during pregnancy and another named ‘Power Up’ designed to re-energise. You can see the full list here.

4. Tonic Broadway:

If it’s simply a manicure, pedicure or skin care advice that you need, then ladies’ boutique Tonic might be just right for you. Find it right on Broadway High Street, only a minute or two walk away. A friendly welcome, community spirit and a tempting range of clothes and accessories are all on offer too. Tonic is on Instagram here or you can phone to book on 01386 852 065.

5. Chancewell DIY Spa:

For an option with absolute privacy, personalised Netflix and bottomless tea/coffee/tipple of choice, just lock the front door, stay in and DIY!

You can bring your own skin treatments, cucumber slices, bath potions and whatever else you need. We supply a sweet claw-footed bath and fluffy white Turkish cotton towels. The bath is a small one, but the water hot and the High Street view intriguing to look out on while your face-pack dries. 2 comfy double bedrooms have blackout blinds and are right there whenever you’re ready for sleep.
