Review of: Cowshed Active and Cowshed Relax at Babington House by anon2u 4 see all 5 reviews »
Visited Oct 2009

Gorgeous, relaxing, and even though I went with my gal pal I could see why so many couples choose the Babington House as their wedding venue. It's beautiful and serene.
Our room was gorgeous and cosy. If you luck out with the weather, there's tennis and loads of jogging tracks. If not, then there's the gorgeous cowshed spa.
The spa is separated into Active and Relaxation. The active spa has an indoor and an outdoor heated pool, in addition to a sauna, aroma room and steam room. At the time of our stay, the aroma room and the sauna were out of order. Indefinitely. A bit of a let-down, but if you have booked in for a treatment at the relaxation spa, you could use the amazingly atmospheric sauna in there. It has wonderful views overlooking the vegetable garden at the back of the spa.
Cowshed facial (60 mins, £65): Great feeling and smelling products. Therapist spent ample time massaging face and head. Thoroughly relaxing and skin felt gret afterwards. As I get frequent microdermabrasion done she made sure to gently exfoliate and didn't do unneccesary extractions. No sticking me under the steamer for ages and wandering off either. The therapy room was very nicely done up too keeping to the spa's rustic theme.
Cowshed Pedicure (60 mins, £46): Cute pedicure station, equipped with little tv screens playing Devil Wears Prada on the day, with views over aforementioned veggie garden at the back of the spa. Therapist was very friendly and did a great job on cuticles, nail shape and painting. She also included exfoliation and a relaxing massage.
Cowshed Wrap (75 mins, £80): Wrap included body brushing, exfoliation, a body mask and wrap and all over moisturisation. While the wrap was on for 10 mins, the therapist gave me a head and shoulder massage. Room has a shower in it too so did not need to prance around all muddy getting in and out of showers.

Tips: don't forget your bathing suit!
