Enjoyable Relaxing Spa Day

Myself and my daughter booked a spa day for last week and loved every minute of it. Swimming was restricted to an hour, with only another two people in the pool which was sparkling clean as well as all other areas and changing rooms. Our cream tea was lovely with a glass of Prosecco followed with tea and two freshly baked scones with cream and jam.
We then used the relaxing room until we were called for our treatments. My therapist was Gabby and my daughter had the spa manager, Katy. Both therapists were fabulous. Gabby asked me questions regarding my skin before using the appropriate Elemis products for a facial which was luxurious and my daughter said my skin was glowing. I also had a foot scrub which left my feet feeling lovely and soft. The products used were plentiful and the therapists gave us a brochure of all the products and ticked of all the products which had been used during our treatments. We both decided to treat ourselves to a product and were given a free product too.Christine Smith, Motherwell

From beginning to end, this Spa Break was fantastic. Hotel staff just lovely and so very helpful and our treatments by Loren were amazing. You could see that parts of the hotel were getting a little run down but apart from that I would go back tomorrow (or today). Would highly recommend.

Great location and loved that hotel had a bit of history and even linked to Mary Queen of Scots. Spa treatments were excellent and professionalism of staff was outstanding. Dinner was 5 star and deserved of the awards it has received. We have been before and the same high standards on first visit so dedication of staff is consistent. We will return.

My sister and I had an amazing weekend. The spa was well equiped, charming and packed with super helpful staff. The facilities including the gym - which we did use - were clean, modern and contained everything we would need. All the meals were delicious (including afternoon tea). And our room was spotless, cosy and contained incredibly comfy beds.
Cannot recommend here enough!Louise Summers, Glasgow

My friend and I were having a dinner/ B&B Spa Day. We received a warm welcome at the Vital Spa. We completed questionnaires and on completion were given a guided tour of the facilities by a very pleasant young lady. All areas of the Spa were very well presented and well equipped. We had lunch in the bar which was delicious, tasty and beautifully presented. Our treatments were fantastic and on completion we were so relaxed. The girls who provided our treatments were extremely pleasant and friendly. The swimming pool was lovely too, a very comfortable temperature. Our bedroom was very comfortable and clean. Dinner was exceptional. Breakfast was ok.
