Hot tub city: The best UK cities for a spa day have been named – ‘a real treat’

Going on a spa getaway is a great holiday option. But for Britons without the time, a spa day is the next best thing.

Joshtravel said: “We visited the spa as part of our stay. My partner had two treatments over two days, the Body Bliss with Erin which was amazing and really helped her with all her aches and pains! And also had a facial with Naomi which must have been good as she made me buy all the products in the shop for her!

“The spa area itself has two great pools, one a length pool and one hydrotherapy pool, they weren’t busy 90 percent of the time and even when busy it was still a great experience due to the size.

“We also used the spa garden which is an added extra and it comes with use of fluffy towels and gowns and use of herbal teas and hot drinks, it has a great infinity pool and seating area to relax so definitely worth the added extra.

“Our favourite spa and much needed after all these lockdowns.”
