Middleton Lodge Estate has been restored for the past 20 years by owner James Allison. Today, it’s home to two award-winning restaurants, private event spaces, a 57-bedroom hotel, a two-acre walled garden and the Forest Spa which opened last summer. Designed to be a ‘different kind of spa’ connecting guests to nature it achieves that and much more.

With a 15m by 7m heated outdoor pool, hot tub, thermal spa (with sauna, steam room, and plunge pool), a spacious pool house with a log-burning stove, sofas and manicure and pedicure stations, and six treatment huts for massages and body rituals. Two of the treatment huts are ‘bath huts’, complete with tin bathtubs and small log-burning stoves for meditative bathing experiences.
With a clear focus on the guest experience, the Forest Spa journey has been carefully planned with meticulous attention to detail. Designed by creative director Rebecca Tappin, the spa is a peaceful escape for those looking to nurture their mind and body. Using the concept of Forest Bathing as inspiration, the spa enhances the natural, beautiful surroundings of the estate’s landscape – creating a spa experience that allows guests to rest and relax, stepping away from the world, closer to nature.
