Thai massage near Hertford

Thai massage for visitors from Hertford

Hertford is the county town, east of St Albans. The drive is about 25 minutes via the A414, long enough to plan as a proper outing. We are at 67 Hatfield Road, AL1 4JE, open every day from 10am to 8pm.

West along the A414

The A414 is the direct westbound road from Hertford toward Hatfield and then St Albans. After the Hatfield section you pick up Hatfield Road (the A1057) into the city and stop at number 67, AL1 4JE.

The drive is about 25 minutes in reasonable traffic. That is approximate. Allow extra time if the A414 is slow around peak hours, particularly through the Hatfield junctions. A 90-minute booking still ends 90 minutes after it starts, even if you walked in late.

Because the journey is longer than the hop from Harpenden or London Colney, it can be worth looking at a 90-minute treatment as well as a 60-minute one. That is your choice, not a rule. Prices do not change because you have come further: 60 minutes is still £70 and 90 minutes is still £105 on the standard list.

Hertford’s two stations do not deliver you to the door

Hertford has two railway stations, and they serve different London terminals.

Hertford North is on the Great Northern Hertford Loop, with trains toward Moorgate or, on some services, toward Stevenage. Hertford East is on the Greater Anglia route toward London Liverpool Street via Ware and Broxbourne.

Neither is a single-train hop to 67 Hatfield Road. A rail journey needs at least one change, for example via London, or by changing onward toward Hatfield or Welwyn Garden City, and you would still finish by bus or taxi along Hatfield Road. That is why most Hertford visitors drive the A414.

We do not offer a Hertford collection service or a partner salon in the county town.

If you already commute from Hertford North into Moorgate, or from Hertford East into Liverpool Street, that habit does not by itself get you to Hatfield Road. Those trains serve London, not St Albans. Turning the outing into a rail journey would mean leaving those lines and still finishing by road. That is why this page spends more time on the A414 than on platform numbers.

Phone 07367 186767 if you want to talk through a time before you leave the county town, especially if you are timing the drive around an evening slot. We close at 8pm every day.

Parking after half an hour on the road

Once you reach 67 Hatfield Road, look first at the marked bays on Hatfield Road and the side streets beside the salon. St Albans City and District Council sets the restrictions: some stretches are limited to one hour, and other lengths of the road have permit-holder or pay-and-display rules. Read the sign on the bay you use. A one-hour bay is not a comfortable match for a 90- or 120-minute treatment.

The other parking option we already list is Morrisons supermarket at 244 Hatfield Road, St Albans AL1 4SU, further along the same road toward Fleetville. The store’s own page lists customer parking as free, with a maximum stay of three hours. Those rules belong to the supermarket and can change, so check the signs and any camera notices when you arrive. From there it is a short walk back along Hatfield Road to number 67.

After about 25 minutes in the car, use Morrisons if you want to avoid a one-hour street bay, especially for a 90-minute booking.

Landmarks you leave behind

Hertford’s river front, Maidenhead Street and the castle grounds are how people place the town. They are not on the way to the treatment room. You leave those behind when you join the A414 west.

Once you reach Hatfield Road you are on the eastern approach to St Albans, not in the cathedral close. Follow the numbers to 67. Do not navigate to the Abbey and assume you have arrived.

Making the A414 trip worthwhile

Book the named treatment you actually want. Traditional Thai, Deep Tissue, Thai Deep Mix and the oil treatments (Swedish, Aromatherapy, Relax Thai Therapy and Thai Hot Oil) cover most full-body visits. Deep Tissue and Thai Hot Oil also offer 120 minutes at £135.

Hot Stone, Herbal Compress and Body Scrub are £135 for 90 minutes. Head, Neck and Shoulder is the focused upper-body option. Sports massage and Lymphatic Drainage depend on the therapist.

If you are travelling with someone, couples massage may be the better use of the journey: £135 for 60 minutes or £205 for 90 minutes, for two people. 4 Hands is listed at £140 for one person on its own page.

When you book, use the real treatment names rather than older search phrases. Redirects will point leftover URLs at the closest current page, but the calendar you want is the one with the treatment name on it.

Planning the A414 as an outing

Westbound on the A414 you will pass the Hatfield junctions before you pick up Hatfield Road into St Albans. You are not stopping at Hatfield House or The Galleria; those are simply how the corridor is already known to anyone who drives between the county town and St Albans.

Give the journey more than the optimistic 25 minutes if you are leaving Hertford at the same time as everyone else heading toward Hatfield. Evening peak on the A414 is the usual reason a Hertford visitor walks in late.

Because the drive is longer than the hop from Harpenden or London Colney, look at 90 minutes as well as 60 if you want the trip to feel worthwhile. The prices stay the same: £70 and £105 on the standard list, £135 for 120 minutes on Deep Tissue and Thai Hot Oil, and £135 for the premium 90-minute treatments.

If two of you are sharing the drive, the couples page may be the better use of the journey. If you are coming alone and only want the upper body worked, Head, Neck and Shoulder is the focused option rather than a full-body treatment.

When you arrive from Hertford

Leave enough time for the A414 as well as for parking. We are open until 8pm every day, which helps if you cannot leave Hertford until late afternoon.

When you come in, tell us about any injury and the pressure you like. Traditional Thai is done in loose clothing you wear yourself; we do not ask you to change into salon clothes. For oil massages you undress to your comfort level, you stay covered with towels, and underwear stays on, with only the area being worked on uncovered. We have showers and towels. Every treatment is given on a massage table in a private room.

All clients must be 18 or over. We do not offer massage during pregnancy. Please give at least 8 hours’ notice to cancel or change a booking. Cancelling or changing with 8 or more hours’ notice is free of charge. Less notice, or a no-show, is charged in full. Choose your therapist when you book online. You do not put a name in a notes box to request someone. We accept all major debit and credit cards, including Amex, plus cash. There is a discount when you pay in cash in person. If a time is not showing, it is not available; call 07367 186767 and we will help you find another slot rather than invent one.

If you can see you will miss the start, phone 07367 186767; do not rely on a message left after the slot has begun. We are open every day from 10am to 8pm. If a specific date is closed it will not show times online, so trust the booking page for that day.
