This could be the best spa spot in the UK. Highlight of my work trip to Harrogate this weekend…read more Sneaky tip - book ahead and ask them when the less busy sessions are. Get there early and you'll be let in before the others and therefore find it less crowded and more relaxing! I went on the Sunday evening session and paid just over 20 squids. In essence, this building is bloody amazing. It's an iconic listed royal baths, and the renovation here has been done just beautifully. All of the old 18th and 19th century features remain, including showers, taps, gorgeous wooden changing rooms and more. It's like stepping into a time warp, a good time warp. There is a process to follow to 'take the waters' which involves a lot of cold plunge pooling, showers, steam and heat rooms. I followed the plan exactly as directed and I felt amazing afterwards. I also had a massage with the lovely therapist Bridget. She was knowledgeable and checked out all the details about my broken back before commencing. So relaxing and she gave me a few tips for my stiff neck afterwards also - result! This spa alone makes me want to return to Harrogate. Please do go if you visit the town.

Harrogate is a cauldron of luxury from the bars to fine cuisine but you can't go to Harrogate…read morewithout a visit to the Spa Baths. To have such a decadent and relaxing venue on tap (excuse the pun) is a dream. What is does is totally unwind all those everyday stresses away and makes you feel a million dollars. Now this is pampering. Choose from any number of luxury treatments or just spend time relaxing in the beautiful steam rooms. It is an ideal gift and somewhere to take your friends and family for a day to recharge the batteries. I suggest the deluxe chocolate wrap which is a delicious body treatment using cocoa. You may want to eat it but don't. If it's facials you want, then again no worries on that account. There are loads to take your pick from. Although it isn't dirt cheap, I think it offers real value for money. There are different options for whatever your budget. If you are feeling especially flush then go for a full on package for a total spoiling session. Then finish off with a visit to the baths for some steam treatments and a day of utter indulgence. This is as good as it gets.

Situated in the stylish Brewery Wharf area of Leeds, the Waterfall Spa is a luxury ladies only day…read morespa. Tucked discreetly away, it provides the neighbourhood with a touch of class. A kind relative bought me a voucher for the Waterfall Spa for my September birthday and by the time November had reared its ugly head, I decided the cold weather provided a good excuse to go and receive some pampering. I booked a Coconut Sugar Body Polish. After being seen by the personable staff on reception, I was provided with a lovely fruit tea, and asked to wait in a separate room. It was a delightful environment in which to relax, it was comfortingly warm and the air was filled with oils of varying aromas. The massage itself was excellent. The beautician was very friendly, explaining what she was using whilst ensuring I was happy throughout the process. I have no shame in admitting that I fell asleep towards the end of the massage, and was considerately left alone to reawaken myself and get dressed! I am on the mailing list for the Waterfall Spa and often get sent some reasonable special offers to use. Currently, there is a 2 for 1 evening pass for £45. There is the option to bring a friend or simply use the voucher twice yourself, for a evening using the spa facilities. As a recipient of a gift voucher, I would highly recommend the experience. There are a wide range of pampering packages to purchase, along with many products for the body and skin. With some of the special offers refusing to break the bank, maybe I will work on making this a regular luxury.
