The owl house website is far better than the customer service, After reading the terms and conditions that state treatments can be given to young adults between the age of 7 to 16, I found that the spa would not allow an 11 year old house any of the facilities, I was offered a private hot tub facility then was informed that they would not do this, I was also informed that no treatments would be allowed, only a nail polish, at the very end of the day, I asked if i could talk to the manager and was totally refused. I us to use the owl spa a couple of years ago and found it to be basic, however okay for a coupe of hours relaxation. I am not sure if the business has been taken over or not, however I certainly can see a change in this business and it is not for the better. I was that disappointed with the supervisor that I will never book here again or recommend the spa, very sad customer loss, especially in these current times.

Dear Marilyn B,
Apologies for any confusion following your enquiry into visiting the Spa. We do offer treatments for children and these can be found listed under the Children Treatments section of our Services on the website. At this time we are unable to offer a Facial for any guests until 15th August due to the Government Guidelines. Our company policy is that we are unable to carry out any Body Treatments on guests under the age of 16 including Massage, which is why were unable to offer you this option when you enquired, although i am aware our Supervisor did offer to book a Scalp Massage for your Daughter instead.
Our Facilities are only available for use by Spa Day guests and although we state we are able to carry out treatments for children, we can not allow children to attend on Spa Days unless on specifically designated Group Bookings. This is due to the fact for health and safety the Hot Tub temperature needs to be reduced which takes several hours. Our Supervisor did offer to book yourself and your Daughter in for Treatments in one of our double treatment rooms, followed by Afternoon Tea in our courtyard which you declined. At the time of your call i was in the Spa arriving guests and not available in the office to speak with you, as you did not wish to leave any details i was unable to contact you later that day to discuss this further. However if you wished to discuss booking a visit to the Spa please contact info@owlhousedayspa.co.uk and we can get this organised for you.
Kind Regards

The atmosphere at the Owl House is welcoming and relaxing without being pretentious - just what we like.
It is located in beautiful surroundings which have you feeling happy before you even arrive.
The treatments we had (full body massage and express facial) were carried out as safely as possible and with great care. Cannot comment on the spa area as we did not use it on this occasion.
Our day was topped off with a lovely afternoon tea in the garden area.
Thoroughly recommend you give this place a go.

First visit yesterday and it's a beautifully tranquil place! We had pedicures, a private slot in the hot tub, our own cabin to relax in and the biggest afternoon tea you've ever seen! The staff made us feel very safe, stuck to social distancing and kept things clean. They were so helpful.
We hardly came across any other visitors so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Obviously having never visited before Covid, I'm not sure if it's usually this quiet but it definitely made it even more enjoyable. Plus if possible, I think private hot tub times is a good thing to go forward with even post Covid!
Thank you for a lovely day and a great way to treat my mum for her birthday!

It's been a few years since I visited with my daughter and it may have changed now but first of all, the spa in Loughborough was extremely difficult to find and we were quite stressed when we finally arrived. We were greeted very nicely but then left on a sofa in an empty room for around 10-15 minutes. We may have been given a glass of bubbly each, I can't remember. We were finally taken to the massage room where we both had lovely massages at the same time. Unfortunately, instead of leaving us afterwards to bask in the aftermath, we were immediately confronted with three ladies all holding up bottles of the products that had been used on us, trying to sell them. This ruined the whole experience. The bubbly sitting out in the jacuzzi later on was nice, as was the pedicure but overall, I would urge this place to not be so profit-driven. When mentioning the 'hard-sell' on check-out, instead of taking the criticism gracefully, the girl chose to argue instead. For this reason, I would not recommend this place.

We had initially booked for Mother’s Day but what with everything going on, we finally got to use it last weekend and it was so lovely. Due to steam rooms/saunas and the pig in mud experience not being allowed to open, we were given afternoon tea with fizz as compensation. We found the spa itself easy enough on Google maps and were greeted with a welcome drink that reminded me of Umbongo (which I love!) We each got a locker too, and had to bring our own towels and robes again due to Covid. One benefit from Covid is that we got our own private chalet to chill out in with sweets and comfy sofas and our own allocated hot tub segment which we absolutely preferred! We chose facials and body wraps for our 25 min treatments all were great. The afternoon tea with fizz was also amazing and filled us right up - vegetarian sandwiches and scones and quiche plus some tasty brownies. The 4 hours flew by and the rain made everything much cosier! We had a lovely girly day and we are already discussing returning in December.

An Owl is not just for Christmas? As a member I go to the Owl every month. Today’s visit was exceptional. Firstly it was extremely peaceful. Secondly I had a wonderful body massage. Thirdly they have introduced Decleor YEY. Fourthly they had a guest therapist Ashley who was amazing please come back again. The aforementioned have equal value but I had to list them in some order. I feel totally at peace, my skin feels wonderful and I do not know what I would do without an Owl in my life.

This was my first time at the Day Spa, it was a Christmas gift from my daughter. She booked the Complete calm package. We had a lovely day, the Rustic lunch option was Great, I had the Ploughman’s Platter which I would recommend. The treatments were fab, we had the back massage, arm and hands massage and facial and head massage - very relaxing. The staff are very helpful and the Spa has a lovely feel to it. Would definitely go again.

After my visit to the Owl Spa my skin felt great . After sitting in a very HOT hot tub I tried the steam chamber Pig in mud, ..I felt like royalty sitting on a throne with steam surrounding me,.great back massages ensuring the pressure was just right. My facial was so enjoyable I fell asleep
All the staff were friendly and caring. After a stressful few days it was just what I needed. I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

We were very well looked after at The Owl House - Beauty Temple. I visited with my partner for a couples hot stone back massage - staff were very attentive, all wearing masks which made me feel very comfortable.
Staff went above and beyond to ensure our visit was excellent. Thank you! We will be back.

What are the actual facilities? As online I can only see sheds and one hot tub?
Written August 10, 2017
That's pretty much it. It's quite a small area so you can get everything done within a few hours

Seems to be a lot of conflicting info re provision of flip flops. Do we need to bring our own? Or are they now provided please? On the phone I was told dressing gown and slippers are provided but on here people are saying take them. Which is correct please?

Good afternoon
When coming on one of our packages booked directly with us, you are provided with a dressing gown and pair of flip flops in your locker. When booking through a third party site, you will be provided with a dressing gown only but it should advise in the small print to bring appropriate footwear if you so wish.
I hope that this helps but if you have any further questions, please give our reservations team a call on 01332 818 818 and they will be happy to help you.

Casual comfy clothes. Avoid heavy coats if you can the lockers are larger than most but not that big for coats. Gowns and towels are provided. You'll need flip flops or sandals as you will be going outside to the hot tub and relaxation rooms. You might want to bring some toiletries for your shower. Have a lovely time...
