As
a
male,
I
was
a
bit
nervous
about
going
to
a
spa
retreat.
There
was
no
need,
this
was
a
great
week!
I
paid
for
this
trip
and
not
sponsored.
I
came
wanting
to
return
to
good
habits,
sleeping,
eating
and
moving
well.
These
were
fully
achieved.
From
reception,
there
is
a
warm
welcome.
The
rooms
are
well-designed,
mine
had
a
bath,
with
modern
touches
like
push-button
showers.
The
whole
location
is
more
staying
in
someone's
house
rather
than
at
a
hotel
or
spa.
Very
comfortable.
Food
was
a
worry
before
arriving.
At
6ft
and
105kg,
losing
weight
was
helpful,
but
I
didn't
want
to
starve
doing
it.
Tom
the
chef
produces
healthy,
plant-based
meals
and
soups
that
fill
you
up.
If
needed,
he
will
also
provide
additional
snacks
to
increase
the
calorie
count
if
1000
per
day
is
too
low.
He
also
runs
excellent
daily
cookery
classes
as
part
of
the
package
which
are
full
of
valuable
tips!
No
need
to
worry
about
food
even
if
you
need
more
than
the
daily
1000
calories.
The
daily
routine
is
light
breakfast,
morning
walk,
gym,
health
presentation,
spa
or
treatment,
lunch,
gym
or
yoga,
juice,
spa,
dinner
and
bed.
It
is
ALL
optional!
If
you
want,
drive
away
during
the
day
and
do
something
else
(there
are
4
golf
courses
nearby)
or
you
can
dive
in
and
fill
your
day
with
activities.
Like
staying
at
a
friend's
home,
it
is
up
to
how
much
you
take
part.
I
started
light
(walk
and
gym)
but
soon
spent
most
of
the
day
enjoying
myself.
Spa
treatments
were
excellent,
calming,
friendly,
and
refreshing.
Very
reasonably
priced
for
additional
treatments,
compared
to
other
local
venues,
and
an
excellent
opportunity
to
try
new
things.
If,
like
me,
you
opt
for
the
more
straightforward
massage
or
treatment
when
travelling,
this
is
a
friendly
way
to
explore
different
massages
and
therapies.
Most
of
the
guests
are
female
(all
except
me
this
week).
If
you
need
male
company
to
relax
then
this
may
put
you
off,
but
everyone
is
there
for
similar
purposes
(such
as
resetting,
detoxing,
getting
healthier,
and
dieting)
and
if
that
is
your
purpose
for
a
spa
retreat
visit
then
you
will
be
amongst
friends.
This
was
a
great
week.
Don't
be
put
off
by
nerves
or
ego,
come
with
your
partner
or
alone,
and
enjoy
the
experience!
