We all need somewhere to escape to and that's something Fiona Otley knows all about.

Founder of The Escape salon at Brook End Farm, Kempsey, near Worcester, and now The Escape spa, at Hilton Puckrup Hall near Tewkesbury, Fiona has harnessed her 20 years' of experience in the luxury hotel business to develop two of Worcestershire's most luxurious pampering retreats. Opened in April,

The Escape at Puckrup Hall offers day spa packages where clients can use the hotel facilities for a swim, a sauna and a workout and then indulge in deluxe treatments followed by a delicious lunch. Men can also enjoy the spa with the golfer's tonic, an Espa treatment incorporating a back, foot and scalp massage - which is great for improving the game.

Spa days have proven to be very popular and it is open seven days a week where regular treatments such as waxing, facials and tinting are on offer. Clients also have the use of the spa's luxurious facilities such as the relaxation room, massage chairs, and hot tub, with its stunning view of the golf course.

Fiona, with the help of interior designer Juliette Sherwood, set about creating The Escape at Puckrup Hall.

She said: "We wanted to create something that had the same look and feel of the sister salon in Kempsey, such as particular use of wall coverings and subtle paint colours, but also generate an individual spa feel."

Fiona is building on the success of The Escape at Brook End Farm in Brook End Lane, Kempsey, formerly the Beauty Retreat. It has gained a reputation for offering professional and experienced therapists, up-to-the minute treatments and top class products all in a desirable rural location. This has been highlighted in the last three months with acomplete overhaul of the design of the salon and also the introduction of new products such as Espa and Crystal Clear.

Added Fiona: "We are really excited about our new spa at Puckrup Hall. The setting is just perfect and the packages and treatments we have on offer make it the perfect place to escape to."
