A very special place
Downe Health Spa has been recognised as one of North Devon’s “very special places” for some years now. There are numerous reasons why.
The quality of client service is special. Visitors to Downe are cared for and pampered from the moment they walk into the beautiful Edwardian conservatory that is the entrance until the door closes behind them at the end of a simply wonderful day.
The visitors’ care and well being is the focus of every therapist at Downe. The range of holistic therapies available at Downe is special. It includes therapies like the Stone at Downe and the Holistic. Relaxation Therapy which are interpretations of classic therapies unique to Downe.
The range of beauty therapies available at Downe is everything you would expect at a top of the range Health Spa.
The names of the beauty therapies alone are a roll call of indulgence – “Honey Body Polish”, “Peppermint Sea Twist Body Wrap” etc. etc. – but that is what you would expect.
What makes Downe special is the approach which it takes to those beauty therapies.
Every beauty therapy is approached as a holistic therapy. Every beauty therapy at Downe is designed to nurture and sustain, not merely to beautify.
The wonderful Atlantic-side location and the beautiful gardens all help to create a special haven away from the rough and tumble of the everyday world.
The lunches and teas taken at Downe are special simply because of the quality of ingredients used (throughout the summer and well into autumn salad and herbs are picked from the gardens an hour before the meal is served) and the care taken in presentation.
Even the Gift Certificates are special. Each Gift Certificate from Downe is beautifully presented with a transparent wrap over card tied with a gold bow.
They are individually created with a personal greeting from you to the someone you love. To make them feel special.
As we said, there are plenty of reasons why Downe is one of North Devon’s “very special places”.
