‘The ultimate man-friendly facial!’
A stones throw from York racecourse is Middlethorpe Hall Hotel. This palatial William and Mary mansion is now a country house hotel filled with antiques, gilt framed portraits and flickering fires. Choose from a either a luxury suite in the main house or a cosy stable room close to the courtyard garden, and you will experience a Yorkshire welcome in grand but relaxing surroundings.
Middlethorpe also boasts a small but perfectly formed spa, it’s the cutest. It has treatment rooms, an indoor pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and mini gym all housed in a cottage in the garden close to the hotel. The spa offers a wide range of relaxing treatments to suit both sexes, which are good for the body and also the soul.
Decleor Power-packed Vitamin Surge Facial
The Treatment
After discussion with my therapist I opted for a Decleir Facial and my treatment began with a unique back diagnostic massage. I found this completely relaxing, and crucially my friendly therapist was able to use it to gauge of my overall health and specific needs. We then progressed to a rebalancing Essential Oil elixir with a warm, decongesting mask which purified my skin.
Above all I really rated the therapists use of expert massage techniques and 100% pure, preservative-free Essential Oils.
The Results
It’s well known that Decleor’s facials feel great and also show tangible results, and in my case this treatment literally melted away stress. Combine this with a man friendly spa environment and a facial power packed with vitamins and anti-oxidants, and you have a winning treatment that is sure to make you looked more rugged and less rough. I left happy that the specific demands of my skin had been addressed and looked smoother, line free and visibly radiant… thanks Middlethorpe I’ll be back!
