Welcome to The Great Bentley Retreat
When you’re yearning for a moment of escapism, or longing for total relaxation, look no further than the Great Bentley Retreat. My aim is to provide clients with a menu of treatments that benefit mind, body and soul in a relaxed, homely environment that runs as an ethical and sustainable business .
The Retreat started life in the spare room of a bungalow in 2010. Since then I have gone from strength to strength and recently extended the salon allowing for easy disabled access at our Plough Road site.
With over 15 years experience within the beauty industry and over 25 years in customer service, I am here to give you great service so you know that when you have a treatment with me you'll be in good hands.
I have one main treatment room as well as a large reception/manicure room. The treatment room is Air conditioned with heated couches which are fully electric for any less mobile clients.
My salon also offers male friendly treatments so please see my treatment menu for details.

Emma makes me feel so welcome and relaxed about having my treatment. She’s easy to talk to and the time just flies by. I always feel like I’m walking on air afterwards, and look forward to my next visit every time.

Emma S was & is fantastic. She has got my diabetic feet feeling great. My eyelash tint & shape was exactly what I wanted, she definitely delivered & my nails are yet again exactly as I asked for. It is not cheap but the saying you get what you pay for is certainly TRUE. Everything from when you arrive to walking out the door is worth every penny. I totally recommend this salon, every beautician here is friendly, helpful & willing to do what they can to make your visit positive & they all succeed

I had a wonderful treatment with Deni (Dermaplaning and Facial), which also included a foot massage HEAVEN! My mum also had a manicure, she is elderly but Deni looked after her well! We have rebooked for December.

This was hands down the best massage I have ever had, Deni was amazing & I will definitely be coming back. The price is also such good value compared to other places in the area. Thank you so much again.
