5 of the Best Places for Rest and Relaxation in Suffolk

By

Modern life can be stressful – there is no doubt about that. It’s all bills, taxes and traffic. Even thinking about all of that is stress-inducing.

Sometimes, you just need to take a step back and breathe. 

Or, more properly, you need to rent a Barge or Barn in Suffolk and enjoy a day out at a spa during your visit. 

To remove the stress of looking up the best spas and salons available to relax in around Suffolk, we’ve rounded up a selection of five of the best.

  1. Heritage Beauty & Wellbeing – Near Bury St Edmunds

Nestled away in an 18th century manor house and overlooking some truly breathtaking parkland scenery, Heritage Beauty & Wellbeing is situated just outside the historic town of Bury St Edmunds.
