The Grange Spa

Auctioneer Jessica Wall took time out of her busy schedule to relax at the Grange Spa with her Mum...

Finding a place to truly unwind is getting harder to find, but look no further than The Grange Spa, and you will find exactly what you are looking for – the perfect escape in the beautiful Lincolnshire countryside. On this occasion, I treated my Mum for the day, on a package which is for four hours, in our case 10am till 2pm.

Upon arrival, we were greeted with a welcome drink, introduced to the place by the very friendly and accommodating staff, provided with a lovely white dressing gown to lounge around in, and given a list of any treatments you have booked – in my case a back massage, my mum a facial and foot massage!

We headed straight for the pool area, finding a little spot on a couple of loungers (there were plenty to choose from!), the swimming pool was beautifully clean and inviting, and although I was worried my mum would feel cold getting in and out – it was very warm, which I find very important when you are trying to relax.

There are different steam and sauna rooms to try out, and a huge bowl of ice that is constantly renewing itself so you can (if you dare!) rejuvenate the body with it! My mother and I had more English ideas at this point and decided to venture into the tea room for some light refreshments, of which there were lots of lovely looking cakes – I recommend the blueberry Bakewell! different spas all over the UK, but this absolutely knocked socks off them. Emma, my therapist, was very warm and friendly, and explained everything very clearly (very good if you have not had anything like this done before), her technique and pressure (which I requested to be quite firm) was perfect, and then afterwards, she took the time to explain what she had done, including the muscle groups, and provided advice on how to help these problem areas. This extra time really made me feel like I was being cared for – I was super impressed!

My mother also enjoyed her facial, but was so ticklish she couldn’t have the full foot treatment! Instead the therapist suggested massaging her hands and arms instead, which she was very pleased with, again this was the personal touch which you really feel at The Grange Spa.

If you decide to book a half-day package like we did, it is worth noting that you can pre-order a light lunch prior to your visit. There is also a really well equipped gym (which I had a look at!).
