Hotels near the Stobo Castle

Don't be put off by the castellations - there's nothing aggressive about Stobo castle, unless you consider a "G5 Vibratory and Hydrotherapy Back Massage" as a wee bit provocative.

Stobo is fast becoming one of Scotland's favourite pampering houses; it offers a healthy gamut of treatments in luxurious surroundings, including 3000 acres of pine and sheep-filled greenery. Stay for as long as it takes to unwind, which may be just a day; a few hours at the Day Spa makes an excellent gift to yourself or a loved one. You can choose from the Luxury Spa Day, Health & Beauty Day, Executive Day, Health & Toning Day or Fitness Day, depending on your mood and waistline.

Both men and women are catered for and beautifying treatments as well as the more "clinical" treatments are popular and alluringly titled. Seaweed-based treatments like the Thalgobodythern Wrap Ionithermie apparently do wonders for your cellulite, although fear not, you won't be expected to eat it. The food served is more than palatable, as is the wine list if you stay.
