Read full postIt’s turning out to be one amazing first year for The Secret Garden Spa at Ringwood Hall Hotel and Spa. The brand new facility opened its doors in May and has since received endless praise including a five star Bubble rating - a first in Derbyshire for 2018.
The Bubble rating is awarded by the Good Spa Guide, an expert guide to the best UK spas and treatments. Just 21 spas within the UK have achieved five Bubbles during 2018, and this is the first to be awarded within Derbyshire this year. This latest accolade for Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa comes just four months after the hotel achieved their 4 Star AA Status.
Meeting a strict inspection covering all aspects of the spa journey, the spa scored top marks in all areas, in particular highlighting the food quality, spa facilities and customer service. The inspector noted that they loved the impressive gardens, the garden theme and the Lola’s Apothecary treatments.
The inspector said: “This hidden gem of a spa embraces nature at every turn, making it a supremely soothing place to escape to. Treatments are unique and professionally delivered, the facilities are top-notch, customer service is great and the gardens are simply stunning.”
Spa Manager, Jemma Whitney said: “I am delighted that the Garden Secret Spa has been awarded the 5 Bubble status. I think I speak for everyone at Ringwood Hall Hotel and Spa when I say we are so proud to receive such recognition. To be the first Derbyshire Spa with five Bubbles just makes the hard work the whole team have put in even more rewarding. I am thrilled that the spa spy loved their Lola’s Apothecary treatment, we are the only spa in the UK to have treatments incorporating this brand and we feel honoured to be associated with such a beautiful product.”
