Wellfair said: “I’ve seen a lot of the world but the views at Stanley House really are breathtaking. I’m used to busy city life but I’m loving life in the country. It’s a great environment to live and work in and I’m thriving in my new role at Stanley House.”

Facilities at the Stanley House spa include five treatment rooms, private rasul, steam and hydro bathing spa suites and a thermal area with a herbal and a Finish sauna, a salt infusion room, aroma steam room, hydrotherapy, ice fountain and experience showers.

There is also a gym and a pilates studio and a special spa refreshments menu. The spa works with Spanish skincare brand Natura Bissé and Britihs brand Ila.

"This will ensure Stanley House retains its place as one of the UK’s top spa destinations. She’s a welcome addition to the Stanley House family.”
