## Our read

High Hopes is worth the journey because Ange still writes the programme in a four-room house, not because Greyton has inns with a massage list.

## Come here for

- Travellers who will go to Greyton for a personalised dest-spa, not a weekend inn
- People who will fill the questionnaire and sit with Ange on arrival
- Guests who can walk the village for lunch if they book a room-only night

## Skip it if

- You want a large spa hall or a shared hydro. The house is four garden rooms and a small team.
- You need alcohol at dinner. The accommodation page prints that alcohol is not served.

## The place

The about page prints twenty-one years of personalised wellness retreats and four private garden-entrance rooms. Ange Craig is named as founder and Programme Director.
