THE MEADOW SPA
The Botanical Bothy
Our Botanical Bothy is a concept space and treatment. Beautifully simple, it is designed to instil a restorative calm within body and mind.
Natural resin flows organically to form ergonomic, warmed seating and treatment benches. The sound of water fills the tranquil, inside space which spills out to a private veranda and idyllic natural garden, complete with two baths for herbal soaks and a roaring fireplace to cosy up by and reconnect to nature.
Botanical Bothy Signature Ritual: Breath, Scent, Nature.
“Just wow – what a special place and treatment. I felt completely spaced out but rejuvenated by the end of this, it was like nothing I have ever experienced before, Raquel the therapist was an incredible guide through the session. I loved it.”
-Rose Ferguson
Rooted in a love of nature and a belief in the beauty of simplicity, our everyday Bertioli Beauty bathing and breathing products are used to deliver treatments harnessing the healing power of breath and scent to nourish the mind and body.
THE BOTANICAL BOTHY Signature Ritual: Breath, Scent, Nature.
Our founding treatment, the Botanical Bothy Signature Ritual is a nurturing experience focussing on guided breathwork and pressure point techniques to enable guests to harness the combined power of breath, scent and nature and stimulate the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
The journey incorporates breathing techniques, including counting the breath and diaphragmatic breathing, scientifically proven to tap into the vagus nerve and switch off our body’s stress response via the autonomic nervous system. Using pressure point techniques, tension release and lymphatic body brushing, the ritual concentrates on those areas of the body that hold the most tension, aiding relaxation and rebalancing energy channels. Complete your treatment with a hair wash and head massage, before submerging into a warm, herbal bath on the veranda, enjoying the open air and a connection to nature.
The Bertioli Signature Ritual introduces guests to the power of breathwork and provides the tools to integrate conscious breathing into daily rituals, with each guest departing with a Bertioli gift.

Recent research has shown that the overriding sense that delivers the benefits of being immersed in nature is smell. Rich in botanical essential oils that encourage you to breathe deeply our scents transport you and immerse you in nature, harnessing the well-being effect of nature and acting as a focus for both the mind and the breath.

The effects of conscious diaphragmatic breathing on our wellbeing are profound, empowering and well-established in scientific principals – switching off your stress response and harnessing your body’s innate ability to heal itself.

Scents of nature in turn provide a deeper connection to and engagement with the natural world inspiring us to take action to protect and conserve it, empowered by the knowledge that in nurturing nature, we nurture ourselves.
