Suffolk-based hotels group TA Hotel Collection has continued its expansion with the launch of a new spa at The Swan in Lavenham.

The Weavers’ House Spa, which opened yesterday, offers a range of more than 30 treatments, with facilities including six treatment rooms, a steam room, a hot stone sauna and an outdoor vitality pool, plus a retail boutique.

TA Hotel Collection managing director Grahame Tinnion said: “We have long had ambitions to enter the spa market and in Weavers’ I believe we have delivered a truly market leading take on a treatment based spa.

“Above all we wanted to bring the very highest standards of service and comfort to our spa guests and give them an experience that is second to none.”

Architect and designer Roger Balmer said: “Our rationale behind the build was to create a cool, calm environment that worked well with the beautiful older buildings.

“The building has excellent environmental credentials with heating provided by a deep ground source heat pump and most of the water coming from an on-site borehole.”

Kate Earle, partner at Todhunter Earle, which has styled the interior of the spa, added: “We had a relaxed, country, contemporary vision for the new spa with a focus on natural finishes.

“We have used bleached oak, stone, plaster, reclaimed timber, Suffolk sourced naturally dyed linens and large panels of glass to bring the outside in.”
