Pamper Day
The staff were all so friendly and helpful, they made it a real pleasure to be there. We had treatments (a facial and an Indian Head Massage) on their taster day today. The treatments, which were with Littlebirds staff, were so relaxing and took place in one of the gorgeous bedrooms.
The whole experience, including the delicious complimentary Afternoon Tea, was lovely. I will definitely be visiting again. Thank you to all involved. 😁
