Stobo Castle Spa - a place to chill out.

Home after a night away to Stobo Castle Health Resort and Spa, at Stobo, way out in the lovely Borders countryside about six miles from Peebles.

It is a beautiful Spa, set in magnificent grounds and if you do not want to have any of the many and varied spa treatments you can head off for a walk in the countryside, go cycling, visit the Japanese gardens within the grounds, or wander further afield to Stobo Kirk.

Big changes since we first went there, a fabulous new pool and purpose built centre with gym, treatment rooms, etc. BUT - no more carrot juice and detox treatments, just go and chill out in the beautiful surroundings, relax all day in a robe, have lovely meals in the dining rooms served by a very attentive staff. I had a relaxing day yesterday, sat back with a book, a wee swim, nice dinner and a bottle of wine before tumbling into a mega comfy bed. Today, breakfast, swim, relax, and then a relaxing back massage (with mud treatment) and gentleman's facial - administered expertly by the Assistant Manager of the Spa - lovely lady who has been there for sixteen years.
Changed and had an excellent lunch before heading home, I think a second day (or more) would have been brilliant, but duty calls.

Perhaps the next time !!!!!!!! "SO STOBO" - Go Stobo.
