We’re incredibly proud to share that Little Massingham Manor has been included in Muddy Stilettos’ latest round-up of the best spas in Norfolk!
Being part of a lineup of such warm, beautiful spa spaces is a lovely honour - but more than that, it feels like recognition for doing something a little different.
You see, our Woodland Spa isn’t about polished marble halls or ultra-modern tech. It’s about going back to what feels essential: the rustle of leaves overhead, the whisper of wind through the trees, the simple, grounding power of nature. Because we believe that reconnecting with the outdoors is more than just a nice idea - it’s good for the soul.
What makes us different?
At Little Massingham Manor, every feature of our spa has been chosen to help you sink into something calmer and more natural.
Wood-Fired Woodland Sauna - Feel the gentle heat wrap around you, hear the crackling firewood, smell the wood smoke and pine. The sauna’s rustic warmth seeps into your muscles; it’s a breath of warmth in the heart of nature.
Outdoor Hot Tub Beneath the Trees - There’s something magical about sinking into warm water while looking up through branches, watching the sky shift and breathe. The bubbling warmth, the scents, the serene surroundings - it calls for stillness.
Invigorating Cold Plunge - After heat, a refreshing dip to stir the senses. It’s exhilarating in the best way - shaking off the warm lethargy, waking up the body, sharpening your awareness of being truly present.
Why nature matters - especially now...
In today’s world, it’s easy to feel disconnected - pulled between screens, responsibilities, planning, and rushing. Yet time in nature has this quiet power:
to soothe a restless mind
to restore depleted energy
to help us breathe the silence
to rekindle our sense of belonging to something bigger
Coming out of a woodland sauna, stepping into mist above a hot tub, hearing nothing but rustling leaves - these are moments that ground you. They remind you that peace is possible, that you don’t always need polished perfection, but real, wild beauty.
If you’re longing for something softer than a standard spa day - less gloss, more soul - Little Massingham Manor is here. Whether you arrive solo craving stillness, with friends wanting laughter under the trees, or with family seeking respite - this is your invitation to reconnect.
And if you’d like to extend your time with us, wander over to our Beauty Rooms for a treatment designed to complement the woodland calm - think soothing facials, restorative massages, and expert therapies that let the outside world fade away.
You can also explore our Stable Sauna, a beautifully converted space that blends rustic character with deep, comforting heat. Whether you’re unwinding after a woodland walk or easing tired muscles post-plunge, it’s the perfect finishing touch to a day spent reconnecting with nature.
We can’t wait to share this spa space with you, to watch you lean back and exhale, to help you feel the nature around you as deeply as you possibly can.
