A couple weeks ago I got invited to an evening of cocktails and manicures at the new Gresham House Wellness Centre inside the grounds of the Gonville Hotel. Of which considerable care has gone into restoring Gresham House, a Victorian Villa within central Cambridge’s conservation area. They have worked closely with restoration experts to ensure that Gresham House retains its period charm, whilst offering solace from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
We were welcomed with delicious nibbles and mojitos (alcoholic or virgin) which were delicious from the bar and kitchen at the Gonville. I'm also a little obsessed with the hanging planter from the Flower Bar Ltd. in St Ives. All the finishing touches create such a zen relaxing atmosphere in the spa. I could imagine coming here as a guest would be super relaxing for any of their ESPA treatments or Jessica treatments.
Gresham House offers ESPA body and facial treatments, waxing, tinting, Jessica Nail manicures and pedicures. We were treated to Jessica manicures by the lovely team working there and some of us also had Jessica Pedicures.
We also got to check out all the really nice ESPA Christmas gifting for this year in one of the treatment rooms. I think my favourite was the ESPA Comfort and Joy Advent Calendar* and the ESPA Pocketful Of Joy*. I used to work with ESPA products at a previous job and it was so nostalgic to be surrounded my the scents which bring me a feeling of peace and relaxation. If you haven't tried out the brand before I would definitely recommend you do.
It was also great to meet more lovely local bloggers: from the left - Becca @braidsandblooms_, Claire @mrsclairedurrant , Esther @estherruthwyse, Lizzie @lizzie_woodman and Saida @shetalksglam. Go check out all these beauties on Instagram.

Unfortunately I still had my acrylics on so I just thought I would share Esther's manicure to see how pretty peoples nails were from the evening! We were also all gifted a ESPA Optimal Skin Collection * which is my favourite pieces from their range so I can't wait to get stuck into it! I definitely want to come back and try some of the treatments and relax in this lovely space again.
