When we arrived we were given a complimentary coffee and our welcome packs including an itinerary, an information sheet to fill out about ourselves including our personal skin problems and other body worries as well as general medical conditions. We were then asked to choose our lunch from a menu. The menu was very accommodating for all tastes and it was actually difficult to choose!
When we were ready we were shown to the spa, and were given robes and slippers to put on. If you have been on a spa day you will know the BEST part of spa days is being able to spend the day in robes! We went into the spa which had a lovely swimming pool, jacuzzi and a hydrotherapy pool which was a lot of jets and water spurts which pummel your muscles! Ofcourse there was a sauna and steam room too. It was so lovely to just relax with my lovely family and enjoy the jets and steam room. Another cute touch was the iced lemon water jugs and glasses around the pool as well as twinkly lights above the pool and loungers. The whole place was so relaxing and well thought out.
After an hour or two relaxing, I got out for my first treatment. In our package we were entitled to one 60 minute treatment. However, because my aunty spoils me, she also paid for me and my cousin to have another treatment of our choice and we went for the body polish. I went upstairs to the treatment rooms and the girls were just SO lovely. The body polish treatment was to die for, the scrub they used was by a brand called Pervonia and the whole treatment was scented with papaya. After getting a limb by limb scrub down, I was asked to rinse off in the shower and lay back down to have moisturiser applied. I left the treatment feeling with skin like silk and smelling like the Caribbean, it was one of the nicest treatments Ive ever had.
One of the best features of Hempstead House was its relaxation lounge. Inside were loungers made into bed with soft mattresses, neck pillows and thick blankets. There were tea, coffee and lemon water all provided so you could relax, hydrate and even take a nap. Its very surreal napping in a public place, however because everyone was so relaxed and the atmosphere was so comfortable it was easy to unwind.
We then went back downstairs for lunch, ofcourse still in our robes! The food was so tasty yet so refreshing! And the service was quick and attentive, I really cannot fault them for their hospitality.
It was then time for my facial. As a young, hormonal and stressed girl my skin has hated me recently so I was in desperate need of this facial. The girl asked me all about my skin and my current skincare routine. She then proceeded to talk me through all the steps of the facial she would perform including the use of a steamer on the skin to help open the pores. The whole treatment was everything I needed and more, the added extra of a neck and shoulder massage really sent me over the edge into heaven! After the treatment I was so relaxed and so sleepy and my skin was absolutely glowing! I could tell the difference immediately. I was then handed the list of products used again by Pervonia, along with a list of chemicals and ingredients I could check for in my current skincare routine, and why to avoid them. As a beauty blogger this was incredibly interesting!
After another relax in the lounge it was sadly time to leave. I couldn't have been more impressed with the place overall, especially at such a good price. Its incredible value for money and I'd recommend it to anyone although I feel slightly bitter for having to share it with you! I shall leave the links below so you can look at all the packages and treatments for yourself!
We loved it so much, we've booked again at the end of February as a treat before my 21st Birthday!
A huge thank you to my Aunty for forcing me to de-stress when I really needed it, and who making me feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
Let me know if you do check it out, you'll love it!
