My visit to the Oceans Room Spa in Glasgow with my fabulous friend Nicola was a great little treat after having my baby boy five months ago. This was also a birthday present Nicola got me for my 30th birthday last year (a brilliant 30th gift idea!).
My masseuse made sure she worked according to my needs. The back massage was the perfect pressure, rolling out those knots using a soothing rolling technique that felt wonderful.
The facial was bliss too. It was really gentil, even the exfoliation part was applied very smoothly. My skin felt amazing after. It was visibly glowing and looked hydrated and healthy.
We had a shared room for our treatments, this is a good idea for friends or couples. We both quietly enjoyed our treatments listening to the relaxing 'pling plong' music. Or at least tried too, the only down side was the noisy reception area outside our door.
Before our treatments, we had a good catch up whilst we shrivelled away in the jacuzzi and swimming pool. We didn't make it to the steam room or sauna, the time flew in.
We finished off our afternoon relaxing in the hotel bar with a glass of champagne. The trendy bar, complete with modern but cosy lit fireplace, is very laid back and comfortable. Baby friendly too with baby changing facilities and a good spot for Breastfeeding. (My poshest breastfeed yet!).
Verdict: 7/10 - points off for an error with our booking and for noise outside treatment room but all in all, excellent value for money. This is a good city spa to visit for some quick R&R with your girlfriends.
(For Breastfeeders, I gave baby to my husband for three and a half hours and sent him off to Mothercare and John Lewis! I fed baby in the bar before and after and this worked out fine. Hubby had a bottle and carton of formula milk just in case.)
