If you’re hoping to get away for tranquillity and relaxation look no further than Wickwoods Country Club, Hotel & Spa
A Hen Do is traditionally the last opportunity for a night out with your girlfriends before your wedding and as seven of my best friends and I began our embark on such a night we kicked it off at Wickwoods Country Club, Hotel & Spa
We arrived on a beautiful May Saturday and from the moment we pulled into the drive we were made to feel extremely welcome in the picturesque surroundings of Albourne.
From the tranquil woodland settings where it’s based to the attentive and highly professional staff who welcomed us in reception, the complex feels tailor-made for relaxation.
We began the day in Wickwoods Spa, where we were all treated to the Guinot Holistic Facials before the unwinding full-body massage that is tailored to your type of skin and body; ensuring that your serenity is at its peak.
The massages steadily worked out all our knots and tensions and left us feeling not only soothed but also fully prepared for the dining ahead.
It is often rare to find a restaurant on site which matches all other areas of a Country Club such as this, but The Glass House Restaurant is definitely one of the few.
We sat down and began with a bottle of champagne between the group. As we browsed the vast and exquisite selection of foods on offer my friends and I shared laughs and old school memories before ordering thanks to the help of our very accommodating waiter.
I chose the Sirloin steak, which was absolutely divine, and as the leader of my party, I also received a complimentary glass of wine and desert, which topped off the experience flawlessly.
While my friends and I were only able to indulge in the spa and restaurant areas, Wickwoods has far more to offer. With exceptional facilities that include a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, relaxation room, gym and tennis courts, a whole day almost wasn’t enough.
However, I have been to a few hen do’s over the years and following a fantastic day with my best friends it is a joy to say that Wickwoods Spa was the perfect place to go on such a special occasion.
Once our day was over we left the Country Club to continue our celebrations with a few more drinks just fifteen minutes down the road in Brighton’s centre.
During the rest of the night we could not stop talking about Wickwoods and as a group agreed that, although our expectations were high before arriving, when we left, they had been absolutely exceeded.
