SIDMOUTH’S SEASIDE VICTORIA HOTEL LAUNCHES NEW SOURCE SPA The Victoria Hotel, Sidmouth’s four-star seaside luxurious Victorian landmark, has officially launched a new Source Spa with first-class facilities and luxury treatments. The spa boasts an indoor heated pool, a modern gym, a hydrotherapy spa bath, an ice bath, an aromatherapy sauna, and a steam room. The luxury treatment rooms, led by highly skilled spa therapists, offer a range of treatments including indulgent massages, revitalising facials, and invigorating body treatments, all designed to pamper and restore both body and mind. These treatments are performed using their own premium Source Spa product range. The launch follows the recent success of the Brend Collection’s first Source Spa at its sister hotel, Saunton Sands in North Devon, and is set to offer an unparalleled wellness experience for its guests. The spa will open daily from 8 am until 7 pm and initially, it will be for the exclusive use of residents and members until the autumn when new Spa Day packages will be available. Spa memberships will cost £125 per month, allowing guests unlimited access. Matthew Brend, director of the Brend Collection comments; “Our team has worked hard behind the scenes to bring a brand new luxury spa to the Victoria Hotel for guests to relax and recharge during their stay, as well as an exclusive membership offering. Since our first Source Spa at Saunton Sands Hotel was such a success, I’m confident the second edition will have the same impact and further strengthen the brand we look to continue growing across the Brend Collection.” The spa will be an addition to the hotel’s outdoor heated pool and 18-hole putting green. The Victoria Hotel also offers exceptional dining experiences in its AA Rosette award-winning Jubilee Restaurant and contemporary dishes influenced by classic French cuisine in its White Room. All rooms at the hotel have their own ambience with many having beautiful sea views overlooking Lyme Bay. Rooms start at £269 (for two guests in a standard double) and can be booked via the hotel’s website. Guests can also enjoy complimentary chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce trips into the town. www.victoriahotel.co.uk www.brend-hotels.co.uk VALLEYSIDE BARN, BICKLEIGH This modern, timber-clad barn with an industrial edge offers couples a rustic-inspired venue.
