When we look at the outdoor spaces of a spa design we are looking for top quality furniture that is stylish, sophisticated and practical. The Hampstead Collection is all of these things, as a result we chose this range for the award winning spa at the Lygon Arms hotel in the Cotswolds.

A Hammam is a relaxing spa treatment or ritual, which has been passed down the generations. Hammams are recognized as originating from Turkey, dating back to the Ottoman era although the Romans were also known to have enjoyed similar bathing rituals.
