Three Legged Cross, Dorset
Three Legged Cross is the nearest village of all at roughly two miles, so the drive is over before the radio finishes a song.
Two miles is close enough that the usual reasons for putting a facial off stop applying. You are not committing an afternoon, you are not paying for parking, and you are not driving home in the dark afterwards feeling like the relaxation wore off somewhere on the A31.
The village has Woolsbridge and Moors Valley on the doorstep and not a great deal in the way of treatment rooms, so most people here have been driving to Ferndown or Ringwood for anything like this. Verwood is closer than both.
Either treatment works well at this distance. The Mini Facial at £20 is easy to book regularly. The Prescription Facial at £40 gives you a full hour with a mask and a longer massage, and being five minutes from home afterwards means you can go straight back and keep the calm going rather than losing it to a drive.
From the crossroads, head north on the B3072 towards Verwood. The studio has off road parking, so there is nothing to work out at the other end.
A late afternoon appointment works nicely here, since being five minutes from home means you can head straight back afterwards.

Questions
Around two miles, which is about five minutes north on the B3072. It is the shortest journey of any of the surrounding villages.
Sometimes, and it is always worth asking. Because the diary holds one appointment at a time, gaps do appear, and living two miles away makes it easy to take one.
The products used in treatments are Tropic skincare, and they can be bought separately if you want to carry the routine on at home. There is no expectation to buy anything after a facial.
