Don't let the name fool you, this spa uses all their own products that come straight from the countryside. I was lucky enough to get an amazing facial and then a pedicure when I visited the cowshed, but the best part is that you can hang out with your friends or clients at thier circular table while the staff will happily offer organic cake, salad and fresh smoothies while you relax.

This is a great place to take clients or go with a girlfriend. I've been there several times in the past few months and all have been really good experiences.
It's cozy, built in a period flat with huge rounded (almost Bay-like) windows that make the place seem open and airy with a lot of sunlight. There's a big table in the waiting area where they serve home baked goodies or fruit smoothies, while you sample their Cowshed products from Babington House.
They do the best pedicures in London in my opinion, using the electronic filer for dead skin, something I have yet to see anywhere else and it really works at making your feet baby smooth. A full hour Cowshed pedicure is £45 so reasonably priced when compared to other day spas such as Bliss which charges a lot more.
Their massages and facials are equally good and relaxing. And Holland Park is an adorable area. It's well worth a visit.
