Inside the new luxury spa suites a short drive from Sunderland

“We wanted to create an experience that feels both luxurious and personal,” says the owner of new private spa suites that offer a peaceful retreat.

South Causey Inn has unveiled The Woodland Spa, a collection of luxury treatment rooms and private wellness suites within the grounds of the Beamish Valley.

The new spa has been designed as a place to slow down, switch off and reconnect, whether as a romantic escape, a catch-up with friends, a pre-wedding retreat, family celebration or special occasion treat.

At the heart of the new development are four exclusive Woodland Spa Suites, each accommodating up to four guests.

Every suite features its own sauna, steam room, plunge pool and hydrotherapy whirlpool, alongside a private balcony overlooking the surrounding countryside.

Guests can enjoy three-hour spa sessions in privacy, with a dedicated butler service on hand throughout their visit.

The Spa also offers a range of TEMPLESPA treatments delivered by experienced therapists, with a variety of packages combining wellness experiences with lunch, afternoon tea, dining and overnight stays at South Causey Inn.

Susan Moiser, owner of South Causey Inn, said: "The Woodland Spa feels like the final piece of the jigsaw for us.

"Over the years, we've worked hard to create a destination where people can enjoy great food and drink, stay in beautiful surroundings and celebrate life's special moments. The spa completes that picture by giving guests a dedicated space to relax, unwind and enjoy some time away from the pressures of everyday life.

"Whether it's a couple looking for some quality time together, friends celebrating a milestone, family members spending time together or someone simply looking to switch off and recharge, we wanted to create an experience that feels both luxurious and personal."

The spa and suites are the latest addition to South Causey Inn, which recently extended the Hjem restaurant residency in its farmhouse.
