Verbena Spa
Feversham Arms Helmsley YO62 5AG
The extremely lovely spa at the classy Feversham Arms in Helmsley really does spoil you rotten. There are all sorts of pamper packages, day treatments and hotel-and-spa stays on offer, and you get full run of the facilities – from ice cave and monsoon shower to outdoor hot tub and heated pool. It's Helmsley's biggest secret, though not really so secret any more since urban weekenders, spa insiders and the travel press have got wind of it. The spa was even voted Best Luxury Spa in the UK at the 2011 World Spa Awards. What do we think's cool? 'Spa by Candlelight' for one, with muscle massage and bento-box evening meal, or any of the packages that also include a night's dinner, bed and breakfast at the fine hotel.
