What the clients say

"We are delighted to have introduced this innovative wave massage treatment to our guests. It has proved extremely popular and we have had extraordinary feedback since it has been installed. So much so, that we have created a specific spa package based around the treatment. Our Sweet Serenity Spa Experience costs £125 and offers guests access to our state of the art spa facilities, a Wellsystem treatment followed by coffee and cake in our cosy spa lounge."

– Bobby Griffiths, spa manager, Dormy House.

"The Wellsystem is the perfect addition to our treatments range. We offer to guests as part of our successful package options and also as a stand-alone treatment, giving our guests time to relax and unwind, resting their minds from their busy day to day life. This is the perfect addition to our spa. Hotel room bookings for spa breaks have definitely increased since the introduction of Wellsystem."

– Katherine Compton, spa manager, Old Thorns Hotel and Resort.

"We were so delighted with the success of our first Wellsystem that we added another within months. We initially sold these treatments to guests coming to the Hall for day visits and residential stays and averaged 11 sessions a day with just one unit, which is fantastic. The guest feedback has been amazing and we now also put the Wellsystem treatment into some of our day and stay packages."

– Zoe Heightley, senior treatment manager, Ragdale Hall Spa

Dive into winter bliss with the unveiling of the Wave Touch Massage at North Lakes Hotel & Spa

Get ready for a winter wonder at North Lakes Hotel & Spa! The Spa, part of the Daniel Thwaites Spa Group, is thrilled to unveil the Wave Touch Massage (from £25), a touch-free, hands-free marvel that promises spa-goers an unmatched journey into relaxation for body, mind, and soul. Dive into weightless bliss with warm water jets, LED therapy, and soothing sounds.

How it works: Guests will feel weightless as warm water jets massage the body from head to toe while floating on a dry water surface.

The North Lakes Hotel & Spa is a beautiful hotel with an award-winning spa, in the heart of the historic market town of Penrith. Ideal for a getaway to the Northern Lakes, it offers modern comfort and is ideal for family getaways. The Wave Touch Massage stands as the spa's latest highlight, ushering in a new era of relaxation and providing an exceptional contactless massage, presenting a brilliant alternative to traditional manual techniques.

This innovative spa experience, powered by Wellsystem Hydrojets, offers a transformative and holistic wellness journey, combining the benefits of dry-water massage with advanced technologies for a truly unique and rejuvenating experience.

Spa Manager Rachael Nelson says: “Our touch-free Wave Touch Massage transcends traditional relaxation, offering an unparalleled spa journey. Guests will adore the weightless serenity, therapeutic warmth, and customisable elements like LED therapy and soothing sounds. It's a holistic escape that redefines wellbeing, providing an innovative and blissful experience like never before."

The Wave Touch Massage immerses spas guests into a state of weightless bliss as warm water jets provide a full or partial body massage, easing tension and promoting relaxation. The soothing warmth and gentle power of the water penetrate deep into tissues, offering relief for common issues such as stress, back problems, and muscle tightness.

In addition to the therapeutic benefits, the Wave Touch Massage incorporates a canopy of LED light therapy, offering customisable colour settings to enhance mood and promoting healthier skin, even encouraging collagen production. The built-in sound system complements the experience where guests can choose either meditative music and sounds or their own playlist, creating an immersive and completely relaxed environment. To truly elevate the experience there are aromatic fragrances, so that guests can enjoy a complete sensory experience with aromatic scents that can be adjusted according their desired mood.
