The Spa

After all of that artistic exploration, it's time to pamper yourself in the luxurious spa.

As you walk through the beautiful old temple doors, discover the small secluded outdoor spa area.  Indulge in the soothing warmth of the hot tub & sauna or take a refreshing dip in the invigorating plunge pool. Allow the bubbling waters to wash away any tension, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and revitalized.

Sauna

Relaxing in the hot barrel sauna is like a warm embrace for your body and soul, melting away stress and leaving you with a deep sense of tranquility.

Cold Plunge Pool

Take a dip in the magnificent epsom salt plunge pool, in our gorgeous up-cycled whisky barrel pool. Either plunging for a  5 -10 seconds or staying in for the maximum of 3 minutes is advised if temp is between 10-12 and you are more of a seasoned cold water fan.

Hot Tub

As you jump(!) out of the plunge pool, full of zest and life, you will progress into our beautiful powerful cedar hot tub, specifically chosen because for its three vertical liner jets that massages the entire spinal cord. The hot tub is kept at yummy 38 degrees.

As the day winds down, you'll head home with your art booklet, a heart bursting with joy, and a spirit that's as fresh as a daisy. This Art and Spa Retreat Day is a gift that keeps on giving – an experience that'll keep you smiling long after the day is over.

Book now for a group of up to 6 and get ready to embrace your inner artist in the most relaxed and magical way possible.

What People Say

  • I can’t recommend The Art Spa with Rom enough if you fancy some hours to yourself being gently creative and relaxing. Rom lead us through the workshop with no pressure. Everyone produced their own version and no one was in competition. The spa was very relaxing and lunch plentiful and delicious. A great way to ground yourself. I’d do it every weekend if I could.

    Rachel H.

  • Romilly is an encouraging and joyful facilitator and with all her positive energy can make even nervous artists like myself engage with their creative side in a safe and inspiring way. I can’t wait to do some more with her!

    Nat H.

  • I just wanted to say thank you to you, Romilly. Although I'm no watercolourist I have really enjoyed the past 3 weeks of having a 'me' project to focus on. I keep finding I really actually want to take the time to think about it and do it each day.

    Jen H.

  • This really helps you to get into the creative zone and leave the everyday chaos and inner critic behind and also supports you in finding your own creative refuge to come back to.

    Carrie F.

  • I've been doing the morning ritual and finding it really helpful. Still sorting out my study/studio area but managing to do a bit of actual creative practice most days as well. Thank you so much!

    Rachel A.

  • I’ve been lucky enough to experience a few of Romilly’s inspiring and delightful in-person and online workshops - she just brings so much energy and fun to the sessions that you can’t help but leave with a spring in your step and a desire to spend even more time getting creative.
