The spa is now home to the Espuro Foam Experience steam room. Said to be a first for the UK, the high-tech KLAFS product has been installed in the fully refurbished ladies changing room and offers a 15-20 minute foaming ritual.

The unique experience includes soft light and music before the fragrant, plant-based foam fills the cabin up to chest level.

The Hydrotherapy Suite in Kohler water Spa has been renovated with interiors and finishes receiving an upgrade, continuing the calming design of the spa pool throughout the space.

New Kohler Experience Showers have also been installed, featuring digital displays that allow guests to configure and control outlets, temperature and flow.
