In the morning, you’ll have full use of the spa and leisure facilities.

There’s a 30-minute massage or facial included in your day, to make sure you leave the Spa feeling thoroughly relaxed.
Then, it’s off to our elegant tea rooms in the 19th-century hotel. Choose from mouth-watering finger sandwiches, cakes and of course, the classic Cornish cream tea.
Please let us know if you would like a savoury, vegan or gluten-free afternoon tea. You can also extend your 30-minute treatment to an hour of pure relaxation (for an extra £30).
This unique spa day costs £70 per person. Worth every indulgent penny.
Valid Monday to Friday (please enquire for additional charges on Saturdays - subject to availability).
