Allow me to introduce myself as a first time poster, as I thought it about time that I should contribute to the reviews.
Having found myself in Cheltenham a couple of months back with some time to spare, I thought I would chance my arm.
Without any historical knowledge of the area, and operating completely blind I did a quick google search and stumbled upon Magical Touch, and thus set my sat nav in that direction.
On arrival, after a quick recce of the area it immediately became apparent there was a reasonable chance of me being stabbed to death on the way out, or worse still- on the way in.
Therefore I thought it sensible to bail out and think of a plan B.
Plan B was, as the title suggests,
External Link/Members Only a few miles away, and after parking the car on a side street with a one-hour ticket, I made the last few hundred yards on foot down a series of side roads.
It was a walk in visit where I was warmly welcomed, and asked for a 30 minute slot and was charged £35.
There was one lady in the reception area, and she showed me downstairs to one of two rooms, in the sort of basement area. I was so far down that I recall thinking if it rains very heavily in the next 30 mins, and the place floods, I'm a goner.
Anyway, it didn't, luckily for me.
Massage itself was well delivered, the lady in question who's name I didn't ask sorry, but spoke good English. Maybe early 40's, petite, - I went for firm, and had her stood on me which was not unpleasant.
I had chanced my arm and gone commando under the towel, and as I hoped, on the turn the question of extras was raised.
I went for a the HE for an additional £30 and it was delivered with some expertise. Some over the clothes touching was allowed.
After cleaning up, the last 5 mins was padded out with a nice head massage. On exit, there was two younger ladies in the reception area - mid 20's maybe, who, given the choice would have probably been more up my street.
It was shortly after exiting the premises that I realised that I had no idea which direction I had parked the car and the next 20 mins was a fairly frantic affair of running around side streets trying to get my bearings, before I got a parking ticket for over staying the hour. I wasn't keen on having to explain that one.
All in all a positive experience, albeit rather glad to make it back unscathed.
