One person wrote: "My friend and I were gifted a £240 voucher for our 40ths that we were booked in to use on Saturday before being cancelled at the last minute. "I'm hoping it can be claimed back if it was paid for on a credit card." Another said: "So sad that you continued to advertise and sell vouchers right until you ghosted everyone. "Now you announce you've closed." The Gin Spa first opened its doors in 2017, offering a range of spa treatments and was originally partnered with specialist bar Gin71 which closed last year. We previously reported the spa was bought over by new owners in 2022 and was closed to undergo a £300,000 investment before reopening in November of that year. The makeover included a new subterranean spa pace which tripled the capacity of the spa and included eight new treatment rooms. Gin Spa and itison have been contacted for comment.
