UPDATE! : .. Sad news, I’m afraid.
The contractors have unfortunately run out of time to complete the extensive repairs to the fire alarm cabling. For obvious safety reasons, we will not reopen until this work is fully completed and signed off.
We have now been advised that the repairs will be finished by Tuesday, and on that basis we are planning to reopen on Wednesday 28TH , subject to all final safety inspections being successfully completed.
The spa team will be in contact with all guests that are booked until Tuesday .
Once we reopen i will be in contact with menbers regards a solution for their subsciptions for the time we are closed !

To put the the recent BBC story into context:
A CVA (Company Voluntary Arrangement) is a specialist, legally supervised process. In simple terms, it is similar to a bank agreeing—on a company’s behalf—to restructure repayments following a temporary setback, such as a safety incident that has impacted income. Instead of repaying over three years, the debt is spread over five.
This approach applies equally to HMRC.
The key fact is this:
A CVA ensures every creditor is paid, jobs are protected, and future tax revenue is secured.
The £2 million headline figure was clearly chosen to grab attention. However, when you consider our turnover, the millions already paid in tax, the number of staff we employ, and the substantial investment made into the business, that figure as a percentage tells a very different—and far less dramatic—story.
Unfortunately, the way this has been reported has made an already challenging situation significantly harder.
That said, we will regroup, reopen safely, and come back stronger.
