We had a brilliant time here cuddling, feeding, walking and bathing the Alpacas. Was a truly amazing experience set in a rural location away from the towns, so we felt that we had entered some kind of quirky alpaca world which we fully immersed ourselves in. The owner/tour guide was friendly and informative. We couldn't recommend this experience enough.

7. Little Himalaya Salt Rooms
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 16 reviews
Little Himalaya Salt Rooms aims to help those with respiratory problems, as well as sinus, skin and sleep issues, via natural salt therapy. The treatment comprises a 45-minute session whereby customers relax in a quiet, restful room and a very fine aerosol mist of pharmaceutical salt is introduced into the atmosphere. The effect of the fine salt dust on the lung tissue is to reduce inflammation, provide anti-bacterial properties and to thin the mucus on the lungs. A great deal of further information regarding salt therapy can be found on our website.

Identified during discussion on treatment options during a Pulmonary Rehabilitation course. Researched Halotherapy, found Littlle Himalaya and was quite taken by the owners story. Set up a 6MWT (6 Minute Walk Test) with my COPD nurse to obtain a baseline and booked a taster session. Very impressed on first visit, relaxed friendly staff and facilities just as shown on their website. Enjoyed 45 minutes of relaxation in the salt cave and booked a further 5 sessions over two weeks, completed this week. Subjectively the experience and results were great, totally relaxed during sessions and felt better with improved breathing and energy levels. Today I performed the 6MWT to determine if there was any objective improvement. Results are 10% increase in distance, less reduction in blood oxygen level whilst walking, stable pulse, less fatigue in legs, reduced recovery time and less breathlessness on completion. All parameters show a distinct improvement over the baseline. It may come as no surprise that I shall be booking maintenance appointments to align with my exercise programme over the coming weeks. On a less serious note it really is a well run friendly place to just go for an hours total relaxation, but if you are there for health reasons remember to do the breathing exercises at the start - you will probably be in snooze mode at the end! Thoroughly recommend with no reservations.
