    Unique, luxurious and special experience!
    I visited the Spa at the Waldorf Astoria The Caledonian Hotel on Sunday 12th June with my Grandmother-in-law, with each of us booked in for a massage treatment. The team were extremely compassionate and supportive, ensuring wheelchair accessibility, tailoring the treatments according to our individual preferences and arranging Prosecco for us in the relaxation room following our treatments, given we were celebrating a special visit. A special thanks to Barbara and Karen who took brilliant care of us during our visit. I would highly recommend the The Grounding Ritual treatment - I felt super relaxed and revitalised following this. A really luxurious experience to celebrate a special occasion.
    Dear Niamh, Thank you so much for your kind review of our spa. I am so pleased to hear you had such a lovely time and that our staff were so caring. I will be sure to pass this feedback over to the team. We do hope to welcome you again sometime soon. Warm Regards, Claire Doering

    Loved the whole experience very calming and relaxing.
    You were greeted with a lovely warm smilie face and given a bottle of water while you completed the questionnaire. You were then escorted to the changing room which was communal which didn’t bother me but others might not like that. Sarah collected me from the relaxation room and took me to the treatment room where she explained what was going to happen and helped me select the oil that matched my needs for the massage. Sarah has the most excellent hands and used sweeping actions to massage my aching body. She took care with my back and afterwards I felt really relaxed. Mission accomplished. Would highly recommend the spa for a day or even just one treatment. Loved the whole experience.
    Dear AJJ2552 Thank you for your fantastic review, I hope your relaxation continued and you had an amazing time away. Sarah is an exceptional therapist and I will be sure to pass your feedback across to her and the team. We do hope to welcome you again soon, With Warm Regards, Elia

    Brilliant relaxing visit
    Brilliant day at the Waldorf Astoria Spa with my best friend. The massages we received were amazing followed by a glass of Prosecco then use of the facilities. We then had afternoon tea in Peacock Alley which was an incredible setting with a harpist playing and the afternoon tea was a spaceship theme, the cakes looked almost too good to eat! All the staff we met were super friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend a day out there.
    Dear tandkmccormack Thank you kindly for your lovely review. We are so happy you had such a wonderful experience. I shall be sure to pass on your lovely comments to the rest of the team. We do hope to welcome you again soon. Kind regards Louise

I had a terrific treatment with Maria. It was a very relaxing massage. She made sure to use just the right amount of pressure and cared a lot about my overall comfort throughout.. She is a talented masseuse and I give her my highest recommendation!

I had an amazing facial experience! Sarah was incredibly skilled, and the products used left my skin feeling refreshed and glowing. I loved the relaxing ambiance of the spa too, Cassie and Archie at the reception arranged all sorts of special details for my special pampering day :) Definitely worth it!

I’ve just the most wonderful 90 minute therapy session with Sarah. What a truly gifted therapist she is. Very intuitive and spiritual. I really felt she responded to what my body needed and followed exactly what I had requested on my form. I had an hour’s full body massage followed by the best 30 minute facial I’ve ever had. And that wasn’t even the full experience as it was only a ‘taster’. Wow! ! I feel on Cloud 9 leaving here today. I will most definitely be back. Thank you Sarah! 💞
