Following the popularity of its salt shed sauna experience, a guided meditation that takes place in a stand-alone sauna, the spa has dedicated another area of the spa garden to this popular experience. Formerly, a garden room, with garden-style seating and a variety of books to choose from, the summer house has been transformed into a haven of meditation to serve as a sanctuary for mindfulness practice. The space now houses raised corner seating offering serene seclusion with breathtaking views, and a warming firepit in the centre of the room. Each individual booth is equipped with a QR code providing access to a curated selection of guided meditations, called The Art of Sleep, carefully put together by the spa’s product house, Tribe517. Guests can immerse themselves in soothing music while overlooking wide- reaching views of the gorgeous Cheshire countryside and take sanctuary from the stress of wedding planning.
