This was the first time I had visited the Retreat. I arrived on time but it was not clear where I would register/check in. Not seeing what I found out later was the desk I did see a door above which was signage referring to the Retreat. I went through the door and down the staircase. After sitting on one of the two chairs for a few minutes a client and therapist came down the stairs. After the therapist understood why I was sitting there she went back upstairs to notify her colleague that I had arrived. On her return she apologised and said my therapist was now aware that I had arrived but would be down directly. At ten minutes after my appointment time my therapist appeared and I had my treatment. It was explained to me that there had been a desk in front of the entrance to the Retreat but that day it had been relocated. I later found out it is now opposite the entrance door to the Retreat. As you can imaging I found this initial experience of visiting the Retreat impacted on the my visit. I am not sure I would return.

I book facials the same reason why I book a massage - to relax. I know you have to observe Health and Safety, but I find it quite annoying to have to fill out a form on the ipad and to be warned about side effects and aske what I am hoping to gain from it are not an enjoyable part of the experience. Is it even necessary? Will the service I receive be any different based on the answer I give? I was feeling quite stressed out and tired so didn't really want to search for my glasses in my handbag to fill out your form.
