A small spa, run by the people who treat you.
Sorrel House opened in 2014 with one room and one therapist. We now have three rooms and a team of three, and we still answer the phone ourselves.
Isla trained in massage and skin care after ten years as a nurse. She wanted a place where treatments were booked with enough time around them, where the therapist you see in March is the one you see in October.
The building was a draper’s shop. We kept the tall windows and the old floorboards, and put the treatment rooms at the back, away from the street. Each room has its own heating, so you are never cold on the table.
We use plain, unscented oils by default and blend in essential oils only if you ask. Towels and linen are washed in the building, and every room is cleaned between guests.
The team
Isla Pemberton
Founded the spa in 2014 after ten years as a nurse. Does most of our facials.

Relaxing, warm stone and pregnancy massage. Joined in 2019.

What we do differently
Time between guests
Fifteen minutes between bookings, so your treatment starts and ends on time.
The same therapist
Ask for the person you saw last time. Most of our guests do.
Quiet by default
We only talk during a treatment if you want to.
Honest advice
If a treatment isn’t right for you, we’ll tell you and suggest one that is.
I booked a deep tissue massage for a stiff neck and Tomasz found the knot in five minutes. First time in months I could turn my head properly.
Hannah R. We came for my sister’s sixtieth and had the room for two. Lovely and quiet, and nobody rushed us out after the tea.
Margaret and Jill Isla explained what she was using on my skin and why, without trying to sell me anything. My skin has been calmer since.
