THE GRANARY SPA:

ORGANIC, PERSONAL, UNIQUE

What makes The Granary Spa unique?
The Granary Spa is a peaceful countryside retreat set in a beautifully converted Victorian barn just outside Ashford. Our warm, homely atmosphere makes guests feel instantly relaxed and our focus on natural, holistic treatments means every experience is tailored with genuine care. We take time to understand each guest’ s needs, creating a sanctuary where everyone can unwind, restore balance and feel truly looked after.
What is your signature treatment, and what benefits does it offer?
Our Ultimate Spa Experience is one of our most loved treatment packages. It’ s a two-hour personalised escape that blends a full body massage with a bespoke facial, or a choice of five favourite treatments from our menu. This experience helps release tension, calm the mind, restore your skin glow and create a deep sense of renewal. Guests leave feeling lighter, brighter and fully recharged.
How do you see Ashford’ s health and wellness landscape evolving, and where do you fit within it?
Ashford is embracing a more holistic approach to wellness, with people seeking meaningful rest, natural therapies and spaces that support mental wellbeing. The Granary Spa sits right at the heart of this movement. As a trusted local retreat, we offer calm, connection and personalised care, giving people a place to step away from daily pressures and focus on themselves.
What’ s the best wellbeing investment someone can make this year?
Quite simply … Regular time for yourself. Whether through massage, skincare or a peaceful hour away from the noise of daily life, consistent selfcare has a huge impact on stress levels, sleep, mood and overall health. Small, intentional pauses can make a big difference and we’ re here to help make those moments truly restorative.
What wellness trends are emerging? And how do you accommodate them?
Guests are looking for more mental wellbeing support, natural treatments, inclusive care and opportunities to connect with others. We reflect these needs by offering gentle, organic therapies, adapting treatments for pregnancy or health conditions, creating calming spaces to switch off and listening closely to what our clients value most.
What can clients expect from The Granary Spa in 2026?
2026 will be a year of connection and community for us. Alongside our much loved treatments and pamper days, we plan to step further into the local area, hosting spa-led wellbeing events, group experiences and retreat days. Our focus remains the same, warm, personalised care in a peaceful, nurturing space, while offering even more ways for people in Ashford to prioritise their wellbeing.
