Serene Sanctuary

Beautiful wedding nails...... Have a wonderful wedding day Jacqueline. Remember to wear your rubber gloves when you decorate the venue to keep your nails looking pristine.

What a pleasure it has been to enter the spa and wellness massage competition in Olympia, London with my model.

Huge congratulations to Emma and Bob who are having a hand-fasting on beautiful Dartmoor today. Have a wonderful day in the sunshine but make sure you keep applying your spf today 😃.

At last the stunning weather made it possible to massage clients in the yurt and what a novelty, and so magical. It truly was a lovely experience to hear the sounds of wildlife outside, with the lambs bleating, the birds tweeting and the odd pheasant strutting past.

Introducing REN Skincare loyalty card. For those who have loved the REN Japanese Shiatsu facials at the spa and have gone on to buy the products. A fantastic range for all skin types which is petrol chemical free. Book in for a relaxing facial and sample the products to see how they work. 🙂

What a glorious day we all had at the weekend and these wonderful ladies took full advantage in the hydro pool, easing any aches and pains after a walk across the Moors.

Happy Easter to you all and let’s hope the sun puts in an appearance. Lovely to see the lambs in the fields and the birds starting to build nests. Enjoy 😊

Keep Calm.... its Mothering Sunday on 11 March and what better way to treat your wonderful Mother, and buy some 'relaxation' time in the way of a voucher or purchase a treatment. Vouchers can be bought via the website. Guaranteed to be best gift (apart from chocolate of course).

Have a wonderful Christmas and a relaxing New Year. I look forward to seeing you all in 2018 for more pampering and relaxation........ Knock knock... Who's there? Mary..... Mary who?... Merry Christmas :-) xxxx

It’s beginning to feel a bit like Christmas 😊🎄

Happy creepy Halloween 🎃

No matter how hard you have been working in the garden, walking across the Moors or even changing horse shoes (in this case) your hands and feet will be transformed to look beautiful and eye catching, and I bet the horse will notice too 😊

Another glorious sunny day in Devon at the foot of Dartmoor, and a lovely group of ladies are spending a day chilling out in the hydro pool followed by some relaxing treatments.

So pleased to win our first award with 'Sunday Woman' magazine.Thank you to everyone who has given the spa such wonderful reviews and rated it highly.

Huge congratulations to a life long friend who got married at the weekend, and had her nails painted at Serene Sanctuary Spa, to match her Boho dress. Enjoy your honeymoon Mr and Mrs Dorer xxxx

Huge congratulations to Rachel and Ray who got married today in Bridestowe. A fairytale 'Ever After' wedding. Dazzling make-up and nails by Serene Sanctuary and curly sparkly volumous hair by Bex Richards. Wish you both everlasting and joyful happiness together for the rest of your lives.

Happy Mothers Day yummy mummies. Whilst chilling out after your treatments in the relax room, help yourself to a lovely herbal tea, new in stock at the spa, from the Brew Tea Company. The tea smells divine and tastes awesome. I'm sure you will be converted once you've tried it 😊

Spring is here! Lambing is in full swing, the daffodils are adding colour to our landscape and the snow drops are creating white carpets, its bleating marvellous :-). Just need the sun to appear and soon we will be swapping wellies and boots for our flip flops and peep toe shoes. In need of some care and attention to your feet? Look no further with a hint of colour using Jessica varnish and a good soak and rasp.

Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year and lets hope you have not been knotty in the lead up to the joyous festivities. I look forward to seeing you in 2017.

Wow wow wow! Have just got home after the most amazing treatment. Half hour in the outdoor hot tub with only the nearby sheep for company, followed by an hour-long full body massage and an hour-long REN facial and now I am blissfully relaxed and feel like I'm floating �. Amanda is wonderful and truly has the magic touch. I just melted into the massage bed and felt totally at ease. It was so nice to be the only one there in such a private and peaceful setting, I felt really well looked after. All the facilities are pristine and all the products Amanda used smelt divine and didn't irritate my very sensitive skin in the slightest. Thank you for a much needed de-stress, I'll definitely be back again!xx

What a beautiful place! I've had a lovely, chilled out day with friends today in gorgeous sunny weather with a relaxing full body massage too with my shoulder feeling so much happier �. Highly recommended & I will be back!

We just wanted to thank you for the lovely time we had at your spa yesterday. The little oasis you have created next to your house exceeded our expectations and we both thoroughly enjoyed our hot stone massages and our time in your luxurious jacuzzi pool. If we were staying in the area again you may well be seeing us again!

Today I went to the serene sanctuary for the first but not the last time with my mum, sister and best friend for my birthday. Amanda is a beautiful therapist inside and out and made us feel very welcome, relaxed and moat of all pampered. I would highly recommend visiting and booking a treatment to everyone. I know I will definitely be returning. Thank you so much. Xxx

Thanks Amanda for a truly deep tissue massage. You certainly found the knots in my shoulders.

Will book again soon.

Thank you, Amanda, for your lovely spa. We had a fantastic day! Your hot stone massage was the best I ever had!

Thank you Amanda for a wonderful facial yesterday! My skin feels smooth and deliciously plump! Such a lovely place to spend an hour or three :-) see you again very soon x

Thank you Amanda for a wonderful afternoon. We had a body massage and a facial which was one of the best treatments we have had. The hot tub was lovely and it was a perfect relaxing afternoon with a warm, friendly welcome. Will definitely be visiting again.

Thank you Amanda for a lovely day. This spa is a fantastic place to relax and unwind, with fabulous treatments and even a hot tub. Set in the amazing countryside near Okehampton where you are made to feel very welcome. Would highly recommend a visit.

Superb treatment from a really gifted and lovely lady. Feel so relaxed now and back is pain free!

Highly recommend - the setting is truly stunning and tranquil too....

Hope to come back again - if you'll have me?!

Thanks so much Amanda xXx

Serene sanctuary, the perfect place for relaxation. Amazing surroundings, fantastic treatment.......heaven on earth!!,

Will be making our visits a regular event.

Thanks so much Amanda & Vicki. Xx

Serene Sanctuary is exactly what it says, a serene and beautiful spa run by the most helpful and friendly person, Amanda. I booked a surprise spa evening for my Mum's birthday and Amanda couldn't have been more helpful in arranging it. When we arrived we were spoilt by the hospitality and amazing setting and the spa and jacuzzi were just fabulous, I can't wait to go again! Thank you, Amanda!

Okehampton's hidden paradise! A lovely relaxing spa. I had an amazing massage, 'me time' in the relaxing area and a dip in the outside hot tub. Bliss!

Lovely, relaxing and proper afternoon of escapism.

Lovely setting , very relaxing enjoyed every minute of it ���

Just spent the day here with my daughter...just perfect, we are glowing! Great facilities, lush spa bath, fab treatments...can't wait to go back! Thank you so much, Amanda...you really helped us relax! X

Just spent a wonderful evening at Serene Sanctuary - a little piece of Heaven on Earth

A stunning setting and Amanda really 'treated' us. Haven't felt this relaxed in ages. Will definitely be returning.

Just one of the best back massage ever!! very relaxed space. Hot tub well worth the dip.

Amanda’s attention to our needs was just lovely, great location and attention to deal.

Amanda is an excellent therapist highly recommended.

If there were 10 stars, i would give 10. Serenity itself is what this Spa is. Amanda is very accomodating, proffessional and a lovely natural person. Treatments awesome. Massage strong and therapeutic. Loved our experience here ����

I was given a surprise treatment @ Serene Sanctuary at the weekend and cannot recommend this spa enough. The facilities and surroundings are beautiful and I came away feeling totally relaxed. Thank you Amanda!

I organised my sister, my daughter and myself to come here on Wednesday for some girly pampering for an early birthday present. Amanda was amazing! The hot tub was glorious, my sister had a facial which she said was amazing, my daughter had a mini manicure and was totally pampered and felt very grown up, and I love my gel nails :)

The hardest bit was trying to choose just one treatment each so we didn't end up hogging all of Amanda's attention! Will most definitely be visiting again! Thank you so much xx

I found Serene Sanctuary by chance, my partners parents live in oakhampton and I wanted to treat myself and my mother in law to a massage.

I contacted Amanda and she got back to me that same day which filled me with confidence and she fitted us both in the following day.

Amanda is absolutely lovely and professional and gives a very good deep tissue massage.

Serene sanctuary is in a beautiful and private location and the salon is finished to a high standard.

Thank you Amanda I will be back. ���

I came across Serene Sanctuary due to a birthday surprise from my sister, what a beautiful treat it was. Amazing setting, tranquil, peaceful, and so very perfect in every way, (we were even lucky with the weather). I had a top to toe hot stone massage which was out of this world. Amanda was so welcoming and friendly, it felt like I had known her forever; I cannot wait to visit again. Thank you Amanda, you really made my birthday such a very special day, I look forward to trying some other treatments and seeing you again very soon!

Had a lovely relaxing day at Serene Sanctuary. Everything about the day was perfect. A lovely place to relax with amazing views. Treatments were so relaxing and Amanda made us feel at ease from the beginning. Would definitely recommend.

Had a fantastic day today in the spa. Amanda was lovely. I have been to a few different spas and this one is honestly my favourite. Hot tub was amazing. Can't wait to go again.

Great treatment and lovely venue

Fantastic! A beautiful location and a thoroughly relaxed and private atmosphere. I had a full body massage to help my body loosen up and recover after training hard for an imminent marathon; it was blissful! Amanda was attentive, thoughtful and put me totally at ease. And all accompanied by the baaing from the lambs outside rather than the usual cheesy ocean noises! ������

I’ve booked myself back in for some post-marathon treats!

Fantastic full body massage & brilliant facilities. Will definitely be back & recommend a visit

Fabulous setting, Amanda is a wonderful hostess and the treatments speak for themselves. The hot stone massage was fantastic, cannot wait to come again. Thank you for a truly amazing day.

Best hot stone massage I've had. Loved the hydro pool as well can't wait to come back. Thanks Amanda.

A surprise for me and my husband for my 30th birthday. We both had a full body massage and time in the Hot Tube and relaxation area! Lovely setting, very reasonably priced! Will be back for sure. Thank you for everything X

A lush treat with Amanda, in such beautiful surroundings. The whole spa is stunning, I now have lovely Christmas nails!
