Is there anything more relaxing than a spa day with your bestie?
I think not!
My bestie Lisa and I recently had the pleasure of going along to the Macdonald Inchyra Hotel and spa in Falkirk for a lovely spa day, and it was AMAZING.
We got to experience their Spring Age Defy Pro-Collagen Spa Day offer, and I have to say, it was such a lovely day out.
Today I’m sharing our experience and why you need to experience it for yourself.
Why You NEED To Try The Macdonald Inchyra Hotel & Spa
On Sunday 6th May (2018), Lisa and I went along to the Macdonald Inchyra hotel, ready for a full day of relaxing.
I can’t express with words how excited we were to go and try the spa out, and to see what the hotel was like.
We’ve heard some great things about it, so we were ready for a good day at the spa, especially as we have been planning one for the longest time.
I’m happy to report that the spa experience at The Macdonald Inchyra Hotel & Spa was a good one.
About The Macdonald Inchyra Hotel & Spa
Macdonald Hotels were established in 1990 by Donald Macdonald and colleges.
Since then, the Hotels and resorts have successfully expanded from its beginnings in Aberdeenshire and has become the UK’s largest privately owned hotel group.
Madonald Hotels are now operating 53 hotels throughout the UK, Ireland, Portugal and Spain.
My Experience at The Macdonald Inchyra Hotel & Spa in Falkirk
When you’re waiting for your treatment, there is a lovely little room where you can sit and relax before going in.
Lisa and I were sitting there for maybe around 10 minutes just chatting away, and then we were both taken in right at 12pm, our appointment time.
I was convinced we would maybe have to wait for a little bit, but thankfully we never.
It was very prompt and the women who were doing our treatments were so nice.
My treatment was administered by a lovely woman and from the moment she came to get me, she was super kind, very soft spoken which added to the relaxing atmosphere and she ran through everything with me first.
She made sure that the treatment I was getting would be right for me and to see what products would be best for my skin concerns from the ELEMIS range.
The Treatment Rooms
The room where the treatment was taking place was extremely relaxing! I just loved the whole vibe from the moment I walked in.
There was dim lighting and soft music was playing throughout, it felt very tranquil.
The bed for the treatments have a heated blanket that keep you nice and warm which is a good touch. I liked that I would always be kept warm and cosy during the facial treatment.
Personally I really liked the whole room and found it to be the perfect type of relaxation room for feeling calm.
Facial Treatment
The facial treatment was a very nice experience. My face felt amazing afterwards and during it I never wanted it to stop.
I really liked that when the products were being applied to my face, I was talked through what they were and what they are used for.
There’s no words to accurately describe how the facial felt, but I could have lay there all day!
What I also quite liked was that it wasn’t just a facial.
There was also a scalp massage included and neck and shoulders massage which topped it off perfectly.
If I had to rate the whole experience of the facial out of 10, it would easily get 10 stars!
I just can believe I have never been for a facial before now and it’s for sure got me hooked.
The Relaxation Room
After the Facial was finished, we were given a glass of water and shown to the relaxation room.
This is where you can go and chill out after your treatment.
It’s a beautiful room that has candles lit throughout, comfy seats and little day beds to lay in.
The perfect place to lay down, relax and let the whole experience wash over your body.
Spring age defy pro-collagen spa day offer
The Spring Age Defy Pro-Collagen Spa Day is on right now!
What’s included in this deal I hear you ask?
Well, you get a 55 minute facial which uses ELEMIS products throughout and literally feels like heaven when you’re getting your facial.
You also have full use of the spa facilities like the pool, sauna, gym and everything else in between.
You’ll also get robes, slippers and towels to use whilst you are there (ps. They are super comfy!).y
And you will also get a spa day lunch which has a little menu for you to choose your food, there will also be a Glass of Prosecco (which I so wish we got, that would have been nice) and you’ll get 10% off any additional pre-booked treatments.
So now is the perfect time to slip a massage in as well then you will also get a £5 retail voucher.
After Our Facials
After our facials, we headed along to the “shop” area which has a huge range of ELEMIS and Bare minerals products on display.
I really liked this area because you’re invited to try products out, see what works for you and you can pick up all the skin care items that were used in your facial.
So, if there’s something that you really liked then you can get it straight away.
Lisa and I had a play about with some creams and I have to say, everything we tried smelled AMAZING!
The Pool and Sauna
After we played around with some products we decided to check out the pool area and sauna.
There aren’t any pictures of these areas as there were a lot of people around and I didn’t want to make them feel uncomfortable when they are trying to relax on their spa day with my big camera being pointed around the place.
But, I can tell you that it was such a beautiful place!
The pool is fabulous, a really great size and is the same depth the whole way along.
I liked this as it’s perfect for people like my gran who are scared of deeper water so this means she could relax in the pool.
The sauna is a lovely relaxing area where you can go, chill out and relieve some stress with a good steam.
You’ll also find a gym in the hotel that you get the use of as well, so I would take some work out gear if that’s something you would like to do.
Lunch Experience
Once Lisa and I checked out the whole place, had a play around with products and explored every corner inside and outside of the spa area it was time for some lunch.
We were greeted by a lovely waiter who was very friendly and showed to our table which was situated next to the open door in the restaurant area.
I couldn’t be happier with this as it was a lovely sunny day outside.
For our starters Lisa and I both went for the mango smoothie.
At first I was a little bit worried about it as it looked a little lumpy and full of bits.
But once I got to drinking it, I really liked the smoothie.
It was a super tasty drink and perfect for getting revitalised after a nice facial.
Our Food
After our smoothie starter, our Chicken with couscous and a nice spicy sauce was next.
Again, Lisa and I both went for the same main and we both LOVED it.
Lisa wolfed hers down and was finished in record time and she said it was an extremely tasty meal.
I was personally a big fan of the chicken and the spicy sauce, it was a great combo but I’m not huge on couscous.
However, I did have a good go at it though and ended up eating more than I thought I would.
Dessert
After the beautiful main, it was time for desert!
Let me first start by saying that it was genuinely one of the best deserts I’ve ever had.
The hot pineapple with salted caramel ice-cream and some toffee sauce was bursting with flavour.
I could have ate about ten of them and I’m not even kidding.
The desert was my favourite part of the meal if I’m 100% honest.
On a nice sunny day it’s always a great idea to have some ice cream.
Final Thoughts on Why You NEED To Try The Macdonald Inchyra Hotel & Spa
All in all it was such a good day.
The facial was super relaxing, I loved how friendly everyone was and the food was on point.
As I explained above, their Spring Age Defy Pro-Collagen Spa Day is on right now and I highly recommend you take advantage of it.
I would say give this a go if you have the chance, you will be floating on a cloud afterwards.
A Spa Day is a great way to reward yourself after a long winter.
