THE MEADOW SPA
The Botanical Bothy
Our Botanical Bothy is a beautifully simple concept space designed to restore calm to body and mind.
Organic resin forms ergonomic heated seating and treatment benches, while the gentle sound of water fills the tranquil interior. The space opens onto a private veranda and garden, featuring two baths for herbal soaks and a roaring fireplac, an idyllic setting to unwind and reconnect with nature.
The Botanical Bothy Signature Ritual
Breath, Scent, Nature
Our founding treatment, the Botanical Bothy Signature Ritual is a nurturing experience focusing on guided breathwork and pressure-point techniques to enable guests to harness the combined power of breath, scent and nature and stimulate the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
The journey incorporates breathing techniques, including counting the breath and diaphragmatic breathing, scientifically proven to tap into the vagus nerve and switch off our body’s stress response via the autonomic nervous system.
Using pressure point techniques, tension release and lymphatic body brushing, the ritual concentrates on those areas of the body that hold the most tension, aiding relaxation and rebalancing energy channels. Complete your treatment with a hair wash and head massage, before submerging into a warm, herbal bath on the veranda, enjoying the open air and a connection to nature.

The Botanical Bothy is a new concept space and we ask guests to arrive with an open mind.
The experience differs from traditional spa treatments, combining guided breathwork - much like a one-to-one workshop - and treatment techniques to encourage tension release and relaxation.
Treatments are undertaken in swimwear, so please bring your own.
It incorporates bathing and an optional hair wash.
The treatment is 90 minutes long, with 60 minutes of hands-on treatment.
Leave feeling deeply relaxed and equipped with key breathing techniques to use at home.

Please note we are unable to provide treatments in the Botanical Bothy if you are pregnant or have high or low blood pressure.
If you have had surgery in the last 12 months, please let us know at the time of booking, as this may affect your treatment.
All treatments have been designed by breathwork experts, and our therapists are trained to deliver rituals and techniques that support the benefits of conscious diaphragmatic breathing.
Rooted in science.

It has long been established that nature inspires and nourishes, and spending time outside has many positive wellbeing effects. Each of our products encapsulates fragrances evocative of the wild, establishing a connection to nature wherever you are.

Recent research has shown that the overriding sense that delivers the benefits of being immersed in nature is smell. Rich in botanical essential oils that encourage you to breathe deeply our scents transport you and immerse you in nature, harnessing the well-being effect of nature and acting as a focus for both the mind and the breath.
-
The effects of conscious diaphragmatic breathing on our wellbeing are profound, empowering and well-established in scientific principals – switching off your stress response and harnessing your body’s innate ability to heal itself.
-
Scents of nature in turn provide a deeper connection to and engagement with the natural world inspiring us to take action to protect and conserve it, empowered by the knowledge that in nurturing nature, we nurture ourselves.
“For exhausted souls, time spent here is akin to being wrapped in a comfort blanket.”
