Check out Ockenden Manor Hotel and Spa's fabulous Isopod treatments - http://bit.ly/2rOOIEm

In dire need of a good nights sleep? Research has shown that that float therapy can have long term positive effects in treating sleep problems such as insomnia and decreasing the amount of time it takes for you to fall asleep.

For complete tranquility, nothing compares to an hour spent in our Isopod floatation tank. Body-temperature salt water floats you effortlessly, allowing every muscle to relax. Further research has shown that it also helps with injury rehabilitation, relieves pain and boosts the immune system. A boon to meditation, it’s also proven to reduce stress, encourage endorphins and promote mental clarity.
.. So, we challenge you to find a reason not to take time out to float!

Gin Week at The Spread Eagle Hotel & Spa has begun! Do pop in to try one of their many delicious gin cocktails on offer in the lounge bar this week. And if you can’t make it, keep an eye out for plenty of ginspiration on their page so you can celebrate with some delicious drinks at home this weekend.

Our very own Gin Week (ahead of World Gin Day this Saturday 8th June) has officially begun!

We're kicking off the week with a delicious Earl Grey Martini - because we all need a little caffeine kick on a Monday!

Made with local Chilgrove Spirits gin, earl grey tea, sweet vermouth, honey and a dehydrated lemon wheel to garnish; this sophisticated drink is best served by our wonderful waiter Joe in our sun-filled conservatory.
