A lovely day

My friend and I decided on a girly spa day at Shaw Hill and were not disappointed. We had use of their leisure facilities which we took advantage of, before our spa treatments. We were made to feel most welcome and the spa treatments were fabulous. We had lunch in the restaurant afterwards and this also did not disappoint. The whole day was as we expected and didn't break the bank either!

The gym has good facilities. The pool is a bit small, the sauna, Jacuzzi and steam room were all clean, but the showers and changing rooms are a bit run down. It was a bit busy on the day I was there, but I'd like to use it again. The spa room was very clean and the treatment was excellent, the therapist was really good. Highly recommend.
