Peak District spa with mill wheel-powered shower to debut in March
A UK inn and hotel is set to debut its Mill Wheel Spa in March 2015 complete with a beach experience, water mill-powered shower and Heaven skincare by Deborah Mitchell – facialist to Simon Cowell, Gwyneth Paltrow, Claudia Schiffer, Victoria Beckham and Katie Price.
Owned and operated by the Kirk family since 1981, the 26-bedroom Three Horseshoes Country Inn at Blackshaw Moor in the UK’s Peak District is adding thermal facilities to create a destination spa.
“We’ve always been involved with the hospitality trade but this is a new branch of hospitality that we have not yet experienced before,” Wendy Kirk told local media. “We’ve done a lot of research and wanted to create something unique. We’re aiming to be a major UK spa destination.”
According to the forthcoming spa’s website, the features on offer at the location will include a shower powered by the visual centrepiece of the spa – a water mill. “The water pours out from the shovels in intervals, alternatively warm and cold,” the website says.
A large bed of warm sand will be available for guests of the spa, to recreate a seaside scene. The 25-minute experience takes guests from sunrise to peak sunshine and then sunset.
There is also a sauna, stone steambath, cedar plunge pool, two-person rasul mud bath, outdoor vitality pool and spa garden, in addition to a relaxation suite and three treatment rooms.
As well as skincare from Heaven by Deborah Mitchell, other products on offer at the spa include those from Kurland, Fake Bake, Essie, Australian Bodycare Tea Tree Oils, Lily Lolo and SkinBase microdermabrasion Facial.
