Cornwall isn’t short of sandy beaches, spectacular views and scenic walks, but that isn’t the only relaxation the county has to offer; there’s a wide range of wonderful spas that help people unwind and discover their inner calm.
We wanted to discover the best spas the Duchy has to offer, so we took to social media and asked our followers which spas they loved the most.
The Greenhouse Spa, Saltash
In 2014 the owners of The Lowarth decided to upcycle and replace an old glass greenhouse. What replaced it is a cosy log cabin in a relaxing and nature-filled environment. A range of treatments are available, as well as spa day packages.
