Why Guests Travel

Firm massage and assisted stretching, a short journey away.

Our treatment rooms give guests from Middlesbrough a calm place to pause, with experienced therapists and time set aside for proper hands-on work.

That is why our guests make the 15 minute journey. A firm, invigorating hour that sits close to deep tissue, with lots more assisted stretching to free up the hips, back and shoulders. Oil is optional, just let us know how you like it. Once you are warmed up, your therapist begins at the legs with steady pressure and stretches that leave you standing taller and feeling more flexible. A gentle head massage finishes things off beautifully. Brilliant if you feel stiff from sitting, driving or training and want to move freely again.

The setting matters just as much. Yarm High Street is cobbled and Georgian, our rooms are warm and calm, and the whole point is that stepping through the door should feel like leaving Teesside for an hour. You cannot manufacture that above a busy retail parade.

Getting Here

Finding us from Middlesbrough

About 15 minutes, roughly 8 miles

Typical drive time

By car the quickest routes are the A66 west then the A19 south to the Crathorne turn, or out through Acklam and Stainton and down Leven Bank into Yarm. By rail, Yarm has its own station with a journey of about 15 minutes from Middlesbrough, and the High Street is a short walk away. Eaglescliffe station is a nearby alternative.

Yarm High Street parking is free for the 1st hour, then £2 for 1 to 3 hours, Monday to Saturday between 9am and 5pm. For longer treatments use the all day car parks at West Street, The Old Market, Yarm Wharf or Castle Dyke Wynd at £3.50. After 5pm and all day Sunday, parking is free.

What To Book

Making the journey worthwhile

If you are driving 15 minutes, it is worth booking something more substantial than 30 minutes. 2 suggestions in particular.

Traditional Thai Massage, 60 minutes, £50. Firm, deep-tissue-style work with extra assisted stretching, with or without oil, for guests who want focused attention on the hips, back or shoulders.

Deep Relief by Herbal, 90 minutes, £100. Our signature ritual, and the most complete treatment we offer. We begin by gently warming the whole body, then Thai massage works its way up from the legs, easing out the tightness you have been carrying for weeks. Warm herbal compresses follow, soft bundles of Thai herbs steamed and pressed into aching muscles, so a deep, comforting heat sinks in exactly where you need it. Beautifully scented aromatherapy oils carry you further into calm, before a slow, soothing head massage brings everything to a peaceful close. The strongest relief we can give in 1 visit, and the treatment our regulars keep coming back for.

For something more targeted, deep tissue at £50 an hour offers firm, focused work across areas of muscular tension, and hot stone at £65 combines flowing massage with warmth. The full list of treatments with prices is on our treatments page.

Good To Know

A few things before you travel

Book in advance. Driving in from Middlesbrough on the chance a therapist is free is a gamble not worth taking. Use the official Vagaro booking page to choose an available time.

We are open until 8pm Monday to Saturday. Sundays are 11am to 5pm. Evening appointments suit guests coming straight from work, and parking in Yarm is free after 5pm.

Traffic on the A66 and A19. Both can be slow at rush hour. Give yourself a buffer, because arriving late shortens your treatment rather than delaying it.

We do not offer massage during pregnancy at any stage. It is a safety decision rather than a matter of convenience, and we would rather say so plainly here than have you make the journey.

"Had an amazing experience here, the staff were so friendly and professional, the service was extremely high quality and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Opted for the £45 1 hour hot oil massage and I felt so refreshed afterwards. Definitely very good value for money. I will be frequenting here and recommend everyone to visit as well. 10/10"
