I had the pleasure of sampling the Blushing Bride Spa Day and my husband came along for a spot of relaxation too. Upon arrival we were greeted by the spa’s friendly team and were soon in our robes and relaxing in the light and airy conservatory. The cosy sofas, beautiful artwork and stunning central sculpture made us feel chilled from the moment we sat down. The more active may want to visit the gym and exercise studio where there’s a great range of classes. For us, our next stop was the salt-water vitality pool, thermal spa suite and outdoor hot tubs – my favourite area! After a couple of hours experiencing tropical showers, massage jets, rose and herb infused steam rooms and the warming bubbles of the hot tubs we were ready for our three-course fine dining lunch – and fine it was! The Blushing Bride package includes a 55-minute signature luxury hydrating body wrap using Frangipani Oil to restore your skin’s natural glow as well as a scalp and foot massage – I was in heaven! My husband also enjoyed a Made for Men Muscle Ease Massage. He’s not a huge fan of massages but this changed his opinion, he’s now fully converted! All in all, this was the perfect day away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Eden Hall’s the perfect excuse to gather your besties for the ultimate girlie day or your hubby-to-be for some romantic time out away from the big-day planning.
