Win 'A Day Spa at Whittlebury Hall : Heat and Ice Experience'

Today, Matt and I descended upon Whittlebury Hall. I had won a Heat and Ice Experience in the spa facilities. It took us an hour to get to Whittlebury Hall, and we had a quick tour and then dived right in. Literally.

The Heat and Ice Experience is a mixture of different rooms around a main pool with jacuzzi sections.  The jacuzzi was my favourite thing, and I spent hours foaming away in its waters. It was very refreshing and relaxing.

There was a 'Caldarium' room which was a nice place to relax because it was a very low heat, and ideal for a break from the hotter sauna and steam rooms.  The hottest places were the steam room, the sauna and the sanarium.  The most shocking facilities were the Ice experiences - the showers and Ice Cave were refreshing but it was difficult to remain in them for periods of time due to freezing temperatures!

After a couple of hours, we had lunch at the bar - a lovely beef and horseradish sandwich with kettle chips and side salad for me. Matt had a chicken coronation sandwich. We then returned to the spa and repeated what we had done earlier in the day. I even braved the 'bucket' - a bucket full of cold water is released over your head, instantly shocking but strangely addictive.

All in all, we stayed at the spa for six hours. It was refreshing and revigorating. The location of the spa and hotel were in a beautifully idyllic place, and the staff were friendly and helpful. It was a lovely day and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you, Heart FM and Whittlebury Hall.
