London life certainly has its many perks. I mean, it’s just as well – because I’d be out of a job if it didn’t. But it’s pretty difficult to deny the fact that living in the Big Smoke can sometimes feel like you’re stuck on a relentless conveyor belt of busy tubes, even busier diaries, spending money like it’s going out of fashion, and passive-aggressively uttering ‘excuse me’ to yet another tourist standing on the left. It’s no wonder we Londoners are such a tightly-wound bunch, hey?
But fear not, folks. I come bearing a secret spot that’ll loosen the shoulders of even the most stressed-out of Londoners. Less than two hours from the capital city, nestled amongst 120 acres of jaw-droppingly beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside is the Waresley Park Estate. And tucked within that estate is a spa that offers rest, rejuvenation, and relaxation by the pool-load.
In the world of wellness, Waresley Park is about as zen as it gets. Set amongst a backdrop that looks like it’s just been plucked from the front of a postcard, the spa is found alongside a big old country house, a crystal-clear lake (complete with lake-side sauna), an on-site coffee shop, an amphitheatre (yes, really) and some shiny new (and utterly gorgeous) lodges – but more on those later.
The spa at Waresley Park Estate
Boasting a heated swimming pool, a hot tub, a sauna and steam room, and a subterranean relaxation lounge that offers a unique underwater viewing window; the spa at Waresley Park Estate has everything you’d want and expect from a luxurious spa. But also so much more. The lovely lot over at Waresley Park Estate pride themselves on carefully crafting each and every spa experience to suit the personal preferences and needs of each visitors. And so every visit feels unique and special.
A variety of spa packages are on offer, but the one that I plan on waxing lyrical about for the next few minutes is their ‘Afternoon Tea At The Spa’ package. Because it’s a complete-and-utter bargain. For just £125 per person, you can enjoy the entire spa to yourself for three hours. And alongside the exclusive spa access, you can enjoy a delicious afternoon tea, either poolside or out on the patio. Pretty mind-blowing value for money, if you ask me.
The lodges at Waresley Park Estate
If (or more accurately, when) you don’t want to leave and head back to reality, fear not. Waresley Park Estate have you covered in the respect, too. They have recently unveiled eight new lodges, each of which are buried amongst the stunning scenery, offering the ultimate tranquil spot to lay your head. Each lodge sleeps two people and boasts floor-to-ceiling windows so you can admire the landscape without having to even leave your bed, and a private terrace for you to soak in the scenery.
A visit to Waresley Park Estate is sure to have the stress of the capital city melting away from you within mere moments of your arrival. But I suppose you’ll have to head there yourself to be sure…
