I have been to a few spas and recently attended norton house spa and they really stood out from the rest. The entrance was welcoming and whilst i was filling out my consultation form, we had pastrys and drinks , due to a coffee morning.this was lovely and helped begin the day of relaxation. The staff i encountered were all friendly and explained the day. Me and my friend were then given a tour of the facilities, i appreciated this. I am someone with anxiety , so can get overwhelmed - this simple tour meant i knew what to expect and was instantly at ease ! I have friends who are neurodivergent and would recommend Norton house spa to them as the staff are patient , everything is explained and its a very chilled sensory experience ( even before a treatment). my treatment was with Elaine , who again explained everything and i have had many massages but this stood out.in terms of pressure , technique and products used, Elaine was amazing, i truly switched off and that night had the best sleep ever. Afterwards , another staff member , i forgot her name ( sorry ) helped me choose my products and was so friendly and approachable. The staff in the spa all seem happy at what they do, really represent norton house well and are a credit to their management. After my treatment , i had some time in the relaxation room, i'd hire that place for naps if i could ! then it was time for afternoon tea , i have a strawberry allergy and they were so acommodating . Allergies can sometimes feel a burden but its the first time i've not had any issues. then we got some time for the hydro pool, shower experience ( loved the lights) and sauna/ steam room. Overall a day well spent , nothing was rushed and the first spa day i have felt managed to focus on mind, body and soul. Norton House Spa also stood out from the rest by being a luxurious treat , without pretentious snobbery. I think sometimes spas can be intimidating or feel " posh " but Norton house spa gets the balance perfect in being a luxurious treat but one that is accesiible to all. It is like having the best spa day of your life , whilst feeling in a safe , friendly space with friends.
