🍂The season for slowing down 🍂

Yesterday we enjoyed a lovely cosy visit to the new Sakura Spa at @gisboroughhall . Just over an hour's drive from outer York, it makes the perfect escape not too far away from home.

The thermal outdoor vitality pool is in the most gorgeous setting amongst the trees, looking out to an array of autumn colours in the meadows. Such stunning scenes.

The three wellness huts around the thermal pool included a Finnish sauna, herbal sauna & salt steam room to keep warm. Each with a snug lounge area overlooking the trees & nature 🌳. I always feel so relaxed in the woods surrounded by trees, listening to the birds. There were blankets & hot water bottles to cosy up with too, making this a perfect spa day whatever the weather.

Our package also included a 2 course lunch in Koyo restaurant at the spa - we chose the warm butternut squash salad topped with a salmon fillet, and the steak ciabatta. Such a delicious & autumnal menu. I was tempted by the ramen too. I loved the fact you could see out into the woodland wherever you were sat, thanks to the large glass doors.

Finally, I tried out the 30-minute Touch-Free Welnamis Lounger Experience. I drifted off into a dreamy world as soon as the eye mask went on & the headphones gently played mindfulness music - I could hear waves, rain, white noise & relaxing vibes. The spa bed also gently vibrated around pulse points. I usually find it really hard to switch my brain off - this was half an hour of true deep relaxation. Ideal if you are looking for something different to a massage with a therapist.

Sakura Spa offers a new way to experience wellbeing, surrounded by the beauty of the woodland. Oh and they have a boozy hot chocolate menu. What more do you need?!

Take this as your sign to book a spa day 💕

Thank you for having us Sakura Spa - you are a stunner!
