Milford Hall Hotel, a Georgian mansion dating back to the 1800s just a short drive from Stonehenge, UK, is adding a £500,000 (US$756,200, €652,300) spa to its four-star amenities.

The property is owned by Hughes Hotels, which has brought in consultancy Spa Creators to create the Lime Spa – expected to open in May 2015.

Alistair Johnson, managing director of Spa Creators, spoke exclusively to Spa Opportunities, detailing the company’s involvement in the 175sq m (1,884sq ft) facility’s inception.

“The spa will be managed by the hotel, but Spa Creators’ services will be retained for the first year to support the team in the ongoing operations. It's a business mentor service offered by us as part of the implementation services,” said Johnson.

There will be three treatment rooms at the spa over two floors, in addition to two relaxation lounges, plus a reception and juice bar. Treatment room furniture is being supplied by manufacturer Ellisons.

Thermal facilities are set to include a sauna, steamroom, heated loungers and experience showers as well as an outdoor vitality pool – all of which will be supplied by Dalesauna.

A fitness suite will also be built as part of the development and will be supplied with gym equipment by Matrix.

Caudalie will be the skincare product in use for treatments and Lava Shell massage rituals will be developed in-house by Spa Creators.

Spa Creators has worked on the design of the project and is collaborating closely with project manager Ian Morgan associates and the main local contractor, according to Johnson.

In other news, Spa Creators was recently involved in the redesign of the spa at the Grade I-listed Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa in Bath, UK, which relaunched in October 2014.
