Set within an achingly beautiful property, where vast windows let in an abundance of natural light, the Lifehouse ethos is holistic and elegant, spanning treatments, food and experiences. The spa has been consistently awarded five bubbles from the Good Spa Guide, and facilities are perfectly positioned to enjoy a view of the gardens and the setting sun. They include a hydro pool, salt room, sauna, steam room, scented experience shower, plunge pool and exercise pool, while on the ground floor there is a dedicated manicure and pedicure area, and there are two relaxation rooms on the first floor.
The gym meanwhile focuses on the power of the body – so beside the treadmills and such there is TRX training, kettlebells and cable machines – as well as trim trails outside. Of course none of this would be complete without a few treatments, and using Elemis, Clarins, Grown Alchemist, Made for Life, temple Spa and OPI products, Lifehouse showcases everything from massages and facials to reflexology, shiatsu, reiki, energy healing, and also consultations on nutrition, detox and weight loss.
Built amongst the foundations of Thorpe Hall, the 19th-century home of Lord and Lady Byng; the hotel is a fusion of ultra contemporary design fused with the red brick of original outhouses and surrounded by 130 acres of gardens. Awarded four-star status in 2023, the hotel’s rooms are unequivocally modern – invariably looking out onto the gardens for an inspiring way to start the day.
Lifehouse’s restaurant and bar area have been awarded two AA rosettes, and look out onto the character-defining gardens, complete with fruit trees and a lily-filled lake. The gardens are historically listed and have a wide range of flora and fauna, protected trees and an enchanting rock garden with little streams, all extending towards the surrounding countryside. Food offers health and indulgence in equal measure, complete with cocktails and desserts – it’s all available, it’s all fresh, and if you so choose – it’s all in keeping with your spa package as well.
