About Cowshed
Cowshed pairs treatments with a small food and drink offer, working as a spa on Regent's Park Road in Primrose Hill. The treatment list runs across massages, facials and pedicures, including the Cowshed pedicure and a 90-minute Lava Shell Massage, and clients choose a scented oil before a massage begins. Juice, cookies and a brunch menu are served on site, and every treatment comes with a hot drink. Visits run by appointment, with a waiting area where clients sit until the team collects them, and the treatment rooms sit downstairs in the basement. Wood finishes carry through the space. There is no shower or dedicated post-treatment area, so the format suits a single booking rather than a longer stay. The doors open daily, gift cards and vouchers are accepted, and the business runs further branches including one in Shoreditch.

“- not trained in the massage technique. Paid a different price than was given at booking -disorganized staff for example they brought my drink for after the therapy as I walked into the room and told me to drink before I start More stressed walking out than walking in was genuinely I can’t say horrible but not worth your money is not quite it It’s best described as a scam”

“Honestly, what on earth has happened to Cowshed spas this past year? Has there been a change in senior management? Because it really feels like something’s shifted — and not for the better. I tried to buy a gift card recently and no one could even tell me if they exist anymore. The staff always seem miserable, which is such a shame, and half the products never seem to be in stock. On top of that, why are treatments in Primrose cheaper than Shoreditch? Cowshed used to be my haven — the place I’d go with friends for a treat and always leave feeling uplifted. Now it just feels disorganised, inconsistent, and honestly a bit of a mess. Really disappointing.”

“I recently had a 90-minute Lava Shell Massage at Cowshed. The massage itself was excellent — the lava shells stayed hot longer and provided a deep, soothing heat, and the therapist was skilled and attentive. The longer duration offered good value compared to other spas. However, the ambiance wasn’t to my taste; the rustic decor felt a bit dated, and the cleanliness was disappointing — the toilets smelled unpleasant, and the massage bed’s face cradle had an odor, though the therapist kindly provided extra cushioning. The massage oils didn’t have a strong scent and felt less pleasant compared to other places I’ve visited. There was no shower or relaxation area afterward, so I had to get dressed quickly and leave. Overall, the spa experience felt less polished than others I’ve tried. Good massage but the surroundings and facilities could definitely be improved”

“An amazing experience from start to finish. I arrived 5mins early to a super warm welcome, and sat in their lovely waiting area. I was quickly collected by Lolo who did the most amazing facial in the comfiest seat I think I’ve ever sat in! …”

Customer Review Summary
Massages and facials draw the most attention, with the treatments themselves earning far warmer words than the setting around them. One reviewer describes a 90-minute Lava Shell Massage as excellent, the shells holding heat and the therapist skilled and attentive, while another calls the massage fabulous and notes the complimentary hot drink and choice of scented oil. Two visitors single out the Cowshed pedicure and ultimate pedicure as the best they have had, and a signature facial with gel peel also gets praise, as does the comfort of the treatment chairs. The recurring complaint is that the surroundings do not feel like a spa: a basement room with constant stomping overhead, no shower or relaxation area afterward, dated rustic decor, and one account of unpleasant toilet and face cradle odors. Several describe disorganisation, including a price differing from the booking quote, a post-treatment drink brought before the massage began, staff seeming miserable, out-of-stock products and confusion over gift cards. One found a juice and cookie poor.
