Here is a nice review of the Titanic Spa from Times Online:
Discreet signs around the spa will tell you about the natural products, the local history, and the nearby borehole from which they get all their water — but Titanic does it all without raising its voice or lecturing its clientele.
The building has been restored using the old foundations and brickwork, and with some modern savvy, it is now carbon neutral and more than compensates for the excessive comforts on its ground floor. There is even an energy calculator on the wall showing how much energy is being generated by the solar panels — and how much this offsets.
The article quotes Warrick Burton, the spa director:
“It’s eco, but without ramming it down people’s throat; without the wellies.”
The Good Spa Guide also reviews the Titanic Spa positively for their treatment facilities, but was not impressed with every aspect of the spa:
“The UK’s first eco-spa earns full marks for excellent treatments but the split between spa and pool, and the lack of a place to sit and chat affected the spa experience.”
