The Saxon Hotel Spa – In a League Entirely of Its Own
Pros:

The Saxon Hotel Spa – In a League Entirely Its Own
Yesterday, I had the privilege of experiencing a bespoke spa package at the Saxon Hotel in Sandhurst — an indulgence arranged to celebrate a dear friend’s milestone birthday. From the very first moment, it was clear we were in for something truly exceptional.
The entire experience unfolded perfectly - seamless, and exquisitely timed. Every detail surpassed the expectations of all three of us, transforming the day into something that felt less like a spa visit and more like a luxurious retreat that left us feeling so upbeat, relaxed and happy. Our friend was delighted — we quite literally could not have spoiled her more beautifully if we tried.
Each of us began with private massages, tailored - it felt as though the therapists could read both body and mind. This was followed by a seriously delicious lunch enjoyed together — before we moved on to manicures and pedicures together, which became a lively, fun-filled affair of shared banter and camaraderie.

Perhaps the most telling accolade came from Nancy, the beauty therapist assigned to me for the day. She remarked that she could never leave the Saxon Hotel Spa, as no other establishment matched its uncompromising standards. After experiencing it firsthand, I believe her entirely. The attention to detail is nothing short of extraordinary — from the warm, enveloping welcome to the way each therapist carefully ascertains individual needs and preferences, crafting a uniquely tailored experience for every guest.
Even the smallest touches speak volumes about their dedication to excellence — including the gentle luxury of pre-warmed slippers.

In every sense, the Saxon Hotel Spa doesn’t merely offer treatments — it curates an unmatchable experience.

Absolutely wonderful stuff
Pros:

The hotel is sitting in a big garden, mainly trees and not so many flowers. The interior decoration is excellent with quite a lot of African pieces of art. We could not have been happier with the room we were allocated.
