We recently reviewed some of the stylish and accessible spa’s in the UK and we thought we’d do some more research on your behalf: Four Season Hotel, Hampshire This Spa offers Sodshi Therapies which “successfully harnessed the benefits of plant essences and other natural ingredients to formulate luxurious, effective, 100% natural skincare products.” Although most of the…
The English Restaurant is “an independent, family-owned restaurant in the heart of Spitalfields (Market).” Believe it or not they serve traditional English food and if you ask me, the menu looks amazing!! Although we haven’t been to the English Restaurant (yet!) we found out that they have good disabled access with no steps at the…
