Sometimes, things get on top of all of us and we can find ourselves ‘tear-our-own-hair-out’ stressed. Whether it’s work, family, or relationships, stress affects us all at some point and in lots of different ways. As a travel company, we know that stress is one of the main reasons people list for going on holiday and escaping from reality for a week or two. Wednesday 1st November is National Stress Awareness Day, which focuses on helping us to find the right balance in terms of work, play and lifestyle and as a result, avoid getting so stressed out in day-to-day life.
To help you combat your stress, we’ve chosen some of our favourite hotels that specifically cater for those looking to relax and enjoy some time away from the real world. Take a look at the best ways to relax at 4 of our favourite spa hotels…
