Spa Day & Afternoon Tea

Pendley Manor


On Thursday I went for a Spa Day & Afternoon Tea with my mum, sister and cousin.
Relaxing with tea and cake, who wouldn't enjoy that?

Once we arrived we were greeted by the reception staff, who then handed us over to a lovely lady who took us into a room, where we could have a cup of tea. 
Walking through the building, you can feel how old it is, its beautiful!



After we had all finished our tea, we were then shown around the spa facilities, given our robes and flip flops and headed to the changing rooms.


And... Relax!



The whole pool/spa bath to ourselves!

We sat by the pool chatting for a bit, and then all headed down to the sauna/steam rooms.
For me - and I don't know about anybody else - but steam rooms make me extremely panicky! I get quite claustrophobic, so the feeling of not being able to breathe easily terrifies me! However, I did manage to spend about 5minutes in there, which is a long time for me.


Time for the food!


   

Quite recently I've learnt that certain foods really hurt my tummy! 
So whilst eating all these sandwiches, cakes, and scones, I knew my tummy would be in agony and very bloated afterwards - who wants a bloated tummy whilst in a bikini on spa day? Not me!
So instead of choosing traditional breakfast tea like I always do, I chose peppermint tea to settle my tummy throughout, which really helped!
All the food was sooo delicious, its making my mouth water now just thinking about it.

My lovely mum then treated us all to a glass Prosecco. Yumm!

Cheers!



Back to pool and spa bath!

The spa bath was bubbling away, so we decided to hop in! It was just like getting into a nice hot bath.

We all then thought we should try out the gym! It was empty - just how I like it - I went on the treadmill for a little while, but that just isn't for me, so instead I did 2000m on the rowing machine - very impressed with myself I must add! -
Gym done, so we went to the changing rooms to get showered and dressed, to make our way home!



What a lovely day we all had!

Have any of you been on a Spa Day or Afternoon Tea recently, and would recommend anywhere?
