A life balance spa day with the girls! Some self indulgence is always a welcome respite! What better way to ensure you maintain your life balance than a day spent with good friends, good food and a relaxing spa treatment a the Summer Lodge in Evershot, Dorset England.

We started our day with a lovely breakfast at The Barn Cafe in Lytchett Matravers (Dorset, England). It took us about an hour or so to get to this comfy cafe. The Barn also serves lunch (reservations recommended). This is a great place to enjoy a casual breakfast or lunch and then browse some of the quaint shops on the grounds.

The interior of the cafe was comfy and cozy. A real proper English country setting ~

A delish way to start the day! And the calories don’t count on spa day, so a great way to help manage your life balance!

After our delicious breakfast and some catch-up chats, along with some laughs, we explored some of the quaint shops on the grounds of the cafe.

We then continued on to our spa destination at the Summer Lodge Country Hotel. A little pampering is always a great way to help maintain your life balance.

The Summer Lodge in Evershot, Dorset England is about a 45 minute drive from our flat in Poole, Dorset England. It houses a hotel, restaurant, lovely gardens, a fantastic pool, hot tub and sauna and offers spa treatments. We partook in a spa treatment and enjoyed the amenities for an amazing day! You can also opt to stay in the hotel and enjoy a more leisurely night or two and partake in multiple spa treatments, wander around the grounds and dine at the restaurant in the evening. After relaxing and enjoying our surroundings, and each other’s company, we strolled over to the restaurant and enjoyed an English afternoon tea to end our day!

This beautiful country house is nestled amongst lovely green fields and colorful gardens. There are little nooks nestled around the property with sitting benches, wooden swings and outdoor seating to sit and take a breather, relax, and enjoy the beauty of your surroundings.

When we arrived we proceeded to the spa entrance and immediately took notice of the pool and hot tub!

The pool is all enclosed with glass doors that open out onto an open air terrace. We were greeted and ushered in to the spa room and shown the amenities.

Our day at the spa began with a neck, shoulder and back massage. Friendly and professional massage therapists eased our tensions away. We then took advantage of the gorgeous pool, hot tub and sauna for a relaxing few hours. When we all felt that we were sufficiently tension free, we ambled over to the restaurant for our afternoon English tea! The grounds are eye-catching and serene…

Of course part of maintaining your life balance includes a little indulgence ~

We all enjoyed more chatting, more laughs and a delicious afternoon tea in the beautiful dining room at the Summer Lodge.

Of course the day wouldn’t have been complete without…a cream tea of course!!
