Channel M presenter Steph Elmore reviews Mother’s Day Spa PamperingPosted on Tue, Jul 27, 2010
Show your mum how much she means to you on Mother’s Day by offering to whisk her away from it all with a pampering spa break. We’ve tried out a wide range of options – both at home and abroad – to give you inspiration.
Where will we stay?
In a hotel on a 750-acre estate in the heart of the Cheshire countryside that took us 40 minutes to get to from Manchester.
What’s it like?
Very relaxing. You really feel like you’re getting away from it all as you drive up the mile-long drive surrounded by greenery with wonderful views of the Welsh hills until the hotel appears from across a lake on the golf course. Ask for a room overlooking the golf course.
And if I have just one treatment?
Mum had a two-hour long hot stones massage, which involved a preliminary body scrub followed by laying on of hot stones which are gently massaged into the body.
Mum found it relaxing but could have done with a bit more “oomph” to soothe her weary bones. Meanwhile I had an Omnilux facial using an antioxidant skincare range called Vitage. The quirky bit about this treatment is a red light being shined on your face in order to penetrate deeper into the skin.
