Where possible, our reservations team will try to put treatments together, however sometimes it is not possible. Spa day treatments will generally be booked between 9.30am-3pm and residential treatments between 3pm-9pm.
- What is the mobile phone policy?
We request you only take/make calls from your mobile in your bedroom or outside if you are a day guest or have checked out of your room. This is because we wish to preserve a relaxing atmosphere and allow guests to get away from phones and laptops.

We do not recommend you use any of the spa facilities if you are pregnant, however, if you do choose to, it is at your own discretion depending on your pregnancy and personal medical situation.
