Revitalise with a winter spa break
No matter how much you enjoy the festive season itself, all that rushing around can leave you feeling a little frazzled and in need of some down time. A spa break is perfect for easing away all the tension and stress lingering from the run-up to Christmas, so why not get away from it all and relax at one of these fabulous UK spas?

Ruthin Castle Hotel
To truly get away from it all, a stay at Ruthin Castle, just 20 miles from Chester, is hard to beat. The likes of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I count among the previous owners, but they won't have been lucky enough to experience The Moat - an indoor and outdoor spa experience that you won't find just anywhere. If the hot outdoor sauna and hot tubs set amongst this stunning area of natural beauty don't take your fancy, an evening on one of the Castle's kingsize loungers in front of an open fire certainly will.
Try the romantic 'Just the Two of Us' spa break and enjoy a VIP couples room, use of the thermal suite, a bottle of Champers, lunch, breakfast and dinner, as well as a 60-minute treatment for each person from £370 for a one-night stay.
