Down Hall Hotel, Spa & Estate, the 110-acre country house on the Essex/Hertfordshire border, has expanded its wellness offering with the launch of The Barn Spa, an 1,800 sq. ft garden-set retreat that complements the property’s award-winning Eden Spa.
The new concept has been created to broaden the hotel’s wellness credentials and appeal to a wider demographic, from couples and solo travellers to families and expectant mothers. Facilities include five bespoke treatment rooms (one for couples) and an outdoor relaxation terrace connected to the estate’s kitchen garden, where many of the plants and florals used in Skin by Bramley products are grown.
The Barn Spa operates in exclusive partnership with award-winning wellness brand Bramley’s skin line, Skin by Bramley. All treatments use the brand’s vegan, cruelty-free and B Corp-certified products, with the partnership also extending to therapist training and retail support to ensure consistency of delivery and service standards.
Signature rituals include the Selenite Crystal Body Massage, the Rejuvenate Ritual, which is exclusive to The Barn Spa, and the Bespoke Bramley Facial, alongside a tailored menu for families and younger guests (‘Mini Me’ treatments for ages 5–16) plus Pre-Natal options. A series of day-package experiences, from Unwind & Dine to Sip & Shine, has been introduced to extend guest dwell time and maximise secondary spend.
To celebrate the new opening, the first 50 guests to book a treatment will receive a complimentary gift during their visit.
Linden Beattie, General Manager of Down Hall, said: “The Barn Spa represents an exciting new chapter for Down Hall’s wellness journey. As an extension of our popular Eden Spa, it allows us to broaden and elevate our offering further, all within a setting that celebrates nature. Partnering exclusively with Bramley, and its award-winning treatment-led Skin by Bramley collection, ensures every treatment is not only restorative but also responsible, perfectly aligning with our sustainability commitments.”
Chloë Luxton, Founder of Bramley, added: “We are delighted to be partnering with Down Hall on The Barn Spa. It’s a place where our passion for natural, plant-based wellness can truly come to life. The setting is the perfect backdrop for guests to experience the benefits of essential oils and botanicals in a calming, restorative environment. Down Hall shares our values of sustainability, quality and respect for the natural world, and we look forward to seeing guests of all ages enjoying this varied and restorative offering.”
