<p>Tucked away in the picturesque countryside outside of Ashford, you are blissed out before you even arrive. We drove through the back roads of Kent with beautiful bluebells nodding their heads in approval at us as we advanced towards <a href="https://www.thegranaryspa.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Granary Spa</a>.</p>



<p>Housed in a beautifully converted Victorian granary, located within the stunning Godinton House Estate, this spa has the additional benefit of endless free parking so there is no stress about finding a space which gets extra brownie points from us.</p>

<p>If you want to make a day of it, we recommend heading to Godinton House. post treatments, to explore their twelve acres of gardens which are surrounded by ancient parkland studded with stately oaks and chestnuts. There is a cute little tearoom there too, if you are feeling peckish, so you can linger on soaking up the beautiful Kent countryside.</p>

<p>The Granary Spa has been a well-loved spa destination for many years in Kent and 18 months ago, Laura took over the reins having worked at The Granary for many years. It is a very close-knit team with Laura’s parents helping behind the scenes plus there are regular team picnics in the nearby fields and a ten-minute get-together for the staff each morning to get everybody ready and focused for the day.</p>



<p>&nbsp;It comes as no surprise therefore that the focus is on personalised holistic therapies and beauty treatments so this is not the place to come for a quick wax (although they will do it for their regulars) and tweakments as every visit at The Granary Spa is all about relaxation, rejuvenation, and care.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1500" height="1000" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/kent/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/granary-spa-kent-9.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-108259" srcset="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/kent/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/granary-spa-kent-9.jpg 1500w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/kent/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/granary-spa-kent-9-800x533.jpg 800w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/kent/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/granary-spa-kent-9-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/kent/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/granary-spa-kent-9-400x267.jpg 400w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/kent/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/granary-spa-kent-9-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px" /></figure>



<p>Talking about caring, another point of difference for The Granary Spa is that they have two trained Cancer Touch therapists. These treatments are bespoke for each individual and are importantly completely safe for everybody, even those with a compromised immune system.</p>



<p>The Made for Life Touch Therapy and Made for&nbsp;Life Organics skincare is also suitable for people with conditions such as Long Covid, Fibromyalgia, Bereavement, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Neurological problems and those suffering from Burnout, Stress, Anxiety and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder so you are in such safe and nurturing hands here.</p>



<p>&nbsp;It’s no wonder that The Granary Spa has won multiple prizes at the Muddy Stiletto Awards over the years as the team here genuinely goes the extra mile.</p>

<p>We loved the cosy relaxation area upstairs with green velvet chairs and magazines aplenty &#8211; the perfect setting to sip a drink and chill out pre or post treatment.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The manicure and pedicure area is also set in a very stylish space with fresh flowers in a vase perched on an olive-green console table with views of the countryside beyond and birds tweeting in the background &#8211; I mean could it get anymore idyllic?</p>

<p>If the sun is out, you can bask in the sunshine on loungers in a paved courtyard outside or there are pretty chairs under the willow tree in the shade if you prefer. There is no hurrying along here as you are made to feel very welcome to linger on if you would like to put off the real world for that little bit longer.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The icing on the cake for us however is the converted Shepherd&#8217;s Hut that is used as a treatment room that is a recent addition to The Granary Spa and is a truly special place to be pampered.</p>

<p>We were invited to try out the SPRING Seasonal Signature Special Package which is a mid-week treat pamper package designed to help you pause, rest, and reset. Available Monday to Thursday, it&#8217;s a sure-fire way to get yourself through the week.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The 55 minute treatment includes a Blissful Back, Neck, and Shoulder Massage AND Soothing Scalp Massage with Heated Eye Mask or you choose a Rejuvenating Facial with Rose Quartz Eye Mask AND Muscle Easing Neck and Shoulder Massage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On top of that, you can then pick two tropical blossom treatments ranging from an invigorating foot exfoliation, relaxing foot massage, refreshing hand exfoliation or a cleansing back treatment. In fact, that was the only stressful part , pondering over what to go for but eventually I plumped for a cleansing back treatment (how on earth could I ever deliver that myself) plus a relaxing foot massage so all areas were covered.</p>



<p>The very lovely Cerys was in charge of my treatment whilst my pal was next door being looked after by Abbie. Tapping away at a lap top for work everyday does mean that my back needs a lot of work and Cerys went to town on it really getting into the muscles with her elbows to ease the knots away.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1500" height="1125" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/kent/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/the-granary-spa-5.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-113284" srcset="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/kent/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/the-granary-spa-5.jpeg 1500w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/kent/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/the-granary-spa-5-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/kent/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/the-granary-spa-5-1000x750.jpeg 1000w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/kent/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/the-granary-spa-5-400x300.jpeg 400w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/kent/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/the-granary-spa-5-768x576.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px" /></figure>



<p>Evolve Organic Beauty is the product range that they use for facials and massages which suits the surroundings down to the ground. Proudly female led and independent, Evolve Organic Beauty (for those not in the know) is&nbsp; clean, clinically proven skincare combining the power of nature with modern science to create results-driven products. It helps that they smell rather nice too.</p>



<p>My friend next door had also chosen a massage but as she had a stinking cold and was finding it hard to breathe lying down, Abbie recommended ten minutes in that they switched&nbsp;to the&nbsp;facial as that would be more comfortable for her.&nbsp; A shining example of how each treatment is truly bespoke for each client. I don&#8217;t know if the sun was shining or I was dazed post massage but her skin did actually sparkle when we were reunited in the courtyard for a cup of tea.</p>



<p>Cerys was always one step ahead with heated towels, when needed, and is deeply passionate about her craft and looking after people. The sound of birdsong through the window as her hands worked their magic was so bucolic, I did enquire whether she was playing a recording but no &#8211; all real and really delightful.</p>

<p>There is lots more incentives to keep returning to The Granary Spa. Local friends rave about the reflexology and hot stone therapy. An additional nice touch is the personalised After Care card given at the end of the treatment advising you how to look after yourself for the rest of the day. Cerys also advised me on stretches I can do each day to loosen the muscles.&nbsp;</p>



<p>After an hour of gassing in the garden, we peeled ourselves off our sun loungers and took the long route home, congratulating ourselves for moving to Kent.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-anything-else">ANYTHING ELSE?</h2>

<p>Don&#8217;t keep The Granary Spa all to yourself &#8211; we love the idea of the bespoke packages for a celebration or some pre-wedding pampering for any bride-to-be&#8217;s in your midst. Groups have to be five or more and you can have exclusive access to the spa with yummy homemade local food. A full pamper day (up to 5 hours) starts at £194 per person which is rather tempting.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Granary Spa is also open on Wednesday and Thursday evenings until 7pm so if you need to accelerate after a hard day&#8217;s work, the team will be ready and waiting for you.</p>



<p>For £12 per person, we are told you can add a trio of delicious homemade cakes to make your Spa Treatment Experience that little bit sweeter alongside your complimentary hot drink post treatment.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-muddy-verdict-nbsp-nbsp">THE MUDDY VERDICT&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>



<p><strong>GOOD FOR?</strong> Those in need of a hug as well as the holistic treatments, as The Granary Spa focuses on restoring balance and promoting inner peace as you are pampered from the inside out. It&#8217;s a fun and stylish place to be as well so I&#8217;d love to return with a group of friends for some indulgent relaxation time together.</p>



<p><strong>NOT FOR?</strong> Tweakments &#8211; this is all about enhancing what nature has given you rather than making alterations.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-damage">THE DAMAGE </h2>



<p>We were gobsmacked by the price considering all the elements included and the stylish setting &#8211; £64 for a 55-minute treatment &#8211; available Monday &#8211; Thursday.</p>
