Check in for Overnight Stays is from 2pm on day of arrival and check out is 11am on day of departure. You are only permitted to use the spa facilities from 2pm check in until 11am checkout. Spa facilities are not accessible ot overnight guests outside of these times.

We recommend to arrive on time as treatment times can be scheduled for you from 10.00am – 7.00pm and it is not always possible to re-book treatments if one is missed due to late arrival.

Please be aware that our Spa Relaxation Rooms closes at 7pm.

What happens when I arrive?

When you arrive you will be greeted by one of our Hotel Receptionists. You will be asked to fill in your registration card and we require a set of credit or debit cards for security on your account whilst you are with us.

Details of your overnight stay or day package will be explained and you will be given a schedule of times for any pre-booked treatments or dining reservations.

When you arrive to the Spa, the Spa Receptionist will ask you to complete your consultation form for treatments and provide you with robe and towel for the duration of your stay.

What happens if I arrive late?

If you arrive late for your treatments, whilst we will make every attempt to re-schedule your day, we cannot guarantee this.

Arriving late will also mean that your treatment time might be shortened or you will lose your treatment. Your delayed treatment will end on time so the next guest will not be delayed. The full value of your treatment will be charged. We will not search for you to take you to your treatment. You must check in for your treatments at Spa Reception and we recommend doing so 10 minutes before your allocated treatment times.

Can I check-in early or stay longer?

Greenwoods Hotel and Spa does not offer early check-in or late check-out facility.

What should I wear?

Come as casual or a smart as you like. Feel comfortable!

You will be able to enjoy wearing robes in our Spa area throughout your day. We will ask you however to be dressed in public areas of the Hotel including the Restaurant and Lounge.

During treatments therapists respect client’s modesty at all times. For facials we recommend you remove your make-up and upper body clothing. For massages please leave underwear on. You will be covered by a towel throughout the treatment.

What should I bring?

Please bring your booking confirmation plus any vouchers* used as payment for your Overnight Stay or Spa Day.

You will also need a swimming costume(s), gym wear, money/credit card to pay for drinks, extra food and food supplements and extra treatments you have booked.

*Without an original voucher you will be asked for another form of payment. Your voucher gains you admission to Greenwoods Hotel and Spa.

Where can I store my belongings?

Lockers are available for you to use throughout your stay and are located in the spa changing rooms. Lockers are key code operated.

However we strongly recommend you do not bring any valuable items such as jewellery or others as we cannot be held responsible for any damage or loss incurred.

Does my package include robes & towels for the day?

You can collect a Robe and towel for use during your stay from our Spa Reception.

You must return your Robe and towel to Spa Reception before you checkout at Main Reception. If you fail to return your Robe to the Spa Reception you will be charged £25 per robe.

Yes, most definitely. Just call our Reservations Team on 01277 829990 (option 1) to book your additional guests in. (subject to availability)

Can I change/upgrade my treatments to something else?

Any inclusive treatments can be upgraded or additional treatments added to enhance your chosen package. Please be aware that upgraded/additional treatments must be pre-booked and pre-paid. (subject to availability)

Can I book additional treatments on the day?

We advise to pre-book your treatments in advance so you are not disappointed on the day, as we get fully booked very quickly! However we do sometimes get cancellations so treatment slots become available on the day.

Please check with our Spa Reception when you arrive if any treatment slots are available during your visit.

Can I choose a therapist?

If you have a preferred therapist please feel free to request that person. Please note requests may not be guaranteed.

Can I ask the therapist to adapt the treatment?

All aspects of a treatment can usually be modified to your taste: amount of light, kind of music (if any), room temperature and whether or not you choose to have a conversation or enjoy the treatment in silence. If you want the therapist to massage harder or be gentler, let them know. Also, feel free to ask questions. Your therapist will appreciate knowing your thoughts and clarifying any issues you may have.

Do I at any point have to remove all of my clothes in front of anyone?

It’s never required that you are unclothed in front of anyone. Our therapists will leave the treatment room while you get under the sheet on the massage bed. Therapists will keep you covered at all times except for the area of the body they are massaging. They will also leave the treatment room before you get up from the treatment bed.

Should I eat before a treatment?

Try not to eat a heavy meal for at least an hour before a treatment and avoid the consumption of alcohol on the day of a treatment. Drink plenty of water before and after.

Do I need to have a patch test prior to any treatments?

You will need to have a patch test 24 hours prior to eyelash or eyebrow tinting.

How long are the treatments?

Treatments durations vary. Please have a look at our treatments menu here:

https://www.greenwoodshotel.com/spa/treatments

Can couples have treatments in the same room?

Unfortunately due to the size of our treatment rooms we cannot offer treatments for two people in one room. We can however request your treatment at the same time as your partner.

What is the minimum age for Spa use and treatments ?

Greenwoods Spa is available and offers treatments for guests over 16 only.

Can I use Spa facilities if I book a treatment?

No, treatment prices do not include access to our spa facilities. You would need to book a spa day or an overnight package to enjoy Greenwoods Spa Facilities.

I would like to book a package for someone else but I am not sure which one to choose or what date to book for?

Medical conditions & allergies

Will I need to tell you about any medical conditions?

You will be asked to complete our medical questionnaire prior to your treatment as certain treatments may not be advisable for you. It is also recommended to inform our Reservations Team at booking stage of any medical conditions.

It is your responsibility to discuss any relevant conditions with the Spa Team before booking treatments with us in order to avoid possible disappointment during your visit.

Should you or your guest/party have any medical conditions, which may prevent you from having treatments, we advise you to speak to your GP and bring a Doctor’s note with you.

Pregnancy
If you are pregnant we will not perform a Full Body Massage or Exfoliation at any stage of your pregnancy. If your spa day includes a Full Body Massage we will do our best to give you a suitable alternative.

Whilst pregnant you cannot use the sauna, Jacuzzi and similar heated leisure facilities because of the risks of overheating, dehydration and fainting. When you use a sauna, spa pool, hot tub or steam room, your body cannot lose heat effectively by sweating. Your body’s core temperature therefore rises. It is possible that a significant rise in your core temperature may affect your unborn baby’s development.

Cancer
If you are currently undergoing any form of treatment for cancer then a doctor’s note must be produced prior to treatment. If the doctor is happy for you to receive treatment then his/her note should be attached to the therapist consultation form and then the relevant treatment can be carried out.

Diabetes
If you have diabetes you only require a doctor’s note for treatments if the condition is not under control by either diet or insulin.

Epilepsy
If you have Epilepsy and have had a seizure within the last 18 months we would require a doctor’s note to proceed with treatments, if your last seizure was over 18 months ago there are no contraindications to the type of treatments you can receive but we would not use essential oils in treatments.

High Blood Pressure
If you suffer from high blood pressure we cannot perform abdominal massage, if your high blood pressure is controlled by medication we can proceed without a doctor’s note, if not we require a doctor’s note to perform the treatment.

Asthma
If you have asthma you can enjoy all of our treatments without a doctor’s note. If required please ensure you carry your inhaler on your spa day.

Multiple Sclerosis
If you have MS we cannot massage during the acute or flare-up stage but can proceed with massage between flares or stages with a doctor’s note.

Greenwoods Hotel and Spa etiquette 
When using the pool and fitness suite appropriate clothing and footwear must be worn.
In the pool area placing towels and robes on sun loungers to reserve them is not permitted.
In the pool area please shower before using and between facilities.

All our guests are here to relax so we kindly ask our guests to respect and not to disturb others. We kindly request that voice levels are kept to a minimum to preserve the sense of tranquillity.

At all times please be respectful to Greenwoods Hotel and Spa staff and ask for help if needed. Disrespectful behaviour will not be tolerated.

Due to legislation introduced in 2007, Greenwoods Hotel and Spa operates a no smoking policy in all areas of the hotel, spa and grounds with the exception of a smoking area. Please ask for the location of this at Main Reception.

Please ensure you abide by Greenwoods Hotel and Spa rules during your visit.
