Who makes the trip
A spa day by train suits all sorts of people: couples looking for a day together without anyone having to drive, friends catching up, and anyone who simply wants a few quiet hours away from home. Some people come for an evening after work, others make a full day of it with a massage and lunch, and some stay the night. However you visit, the routine is the same: heat, cool down, rest, repeat, and plenty of time in the garden.
Combine it with Sutton Coldfield
The Cross-City line also stops at Sutton Coldfield on the way, home to Sutton Park, one of the largest urban parks in Europe and a National Nature Reserve. A morning walk in the park followed by an afternoon at the spa makes a lovely day out. See our guide to a spa near Sutton Coldfield.
Make a night of it
If you’d rather not go home the same day, the spa mini break includes an en-suite room, breakfast and spa use on the day you arrive and the day you leave, from £130 a night for two.

A European-style spa
Clover is a European-style spa, so the sauna and steam room are used without swimwear, as they are across much of Europe. Towels are provided, and you’re welcome to keep a towel or robe on elsewhere for as long as you like. It’s about comfort and nothing sexual. Read European-style spas explained before your visit.
What to bring
Towels are provided and there are lockers for your things. Bring a robe and flip-flops if you have them, or hire a robe and buy flip-flops on the day. If it’s your first visit and you booked online, bring photo ID and the card you paid with. You won’t need a swimsuit.
