About Stables Spa at The Harte and Garter Hotel
Not quite on my 'stomping ground', The Stables Spa is part of the rather grand Harte and Garter Hotel, over-looking Windsor Castle in Berkshire. All I can say it was well worth the trip out of London, and the treatments I received were truely fit for a Queen (if indeed she ever felt she needed one)Tucked away off the main shopping street, the spa appears to be very small but it is in no way uncomfortable or cramped, although I did go on a weekday afternoon and I can assume on a weekend, it would probably get quite busy.The facilities are brilliant - a Finnish sauna and a steam room which have been tastefully decorated with lights in the ceiling and a giant whirlpool, which is more than impressive - and puts any normal hot tub or jacuzzi in the shade. They also have a rasul mud chamber which I did not use but again looked like it could be a lot of fun! Add on to this a relaxation room with vibrating 'pods' and fresh fruit on your arrival and it was obvious that a lot of careful thought had been put into creating this 'boutique' spa.The staff are fantastic - nothing was too much trouble and everything ran smoothly, and most importantly we didn't feel rushed, everything was conducted at 'our pace'; something you don't see to often in the London spas.I had a massage, body scrub & facial and all three were outstanding. My therapist used top-quality products (Elemis) and explained what she was doing prior to each of the different treatments. My massage was second-to-none - possibly the best i've ever had, she acknowledged I had very knotted shoulders and took her time to work on it - I have never felt so relaxed.The facial was equally as pleasing. A variety of lotions and cleansers were used, and she was particularly careful with my overly-sensitve skin which was glowing by the end.We were left to use the facilites afterwards and were in no way pressured to leave as the time approached for the spa to close.I would highly recommend this spa - and plan on going again. Definitely worth the trip out past the M25!
