Wet weather getting you down? Escape it for a day! The annual Good Spa Guide awards took place this week, and we have to say that their magazine readers have great taste and several of our favourite day spas are on their list. Why not arrange to try one for yourself and beat the winter weather with a day in a cuddly robe with poolside pampering and luxurious treatments?

November is a great time of year to visit a spa; hints of the summer tan are still there and you will really appreciate the warmth and pampering as we get into winter. A lot of these spas are connected to hotels and you may find that you can get a great deal if you want to extend the stay and make a weekend of it.

It's time to relax and breathe...
