Pastries and pampering are a combination that a Sugahfix gal dreams of! We sure do love to indulge in a little luxury 'me' time and a gal's gotta keep her strength up so add a stacked-high afternoon tea and we're in heaven!

The Spa at the Culloden and Spa at Slieve Donard have created a new package, which includes an indulgent spa treatment, use of the 5 star spa facilities and rounded up with a scrumptious afternoon tea.

Sugahgal herself Katrina Doran booked into the spa at the Slieve Donard with her Sugah mamma for a Spa-tisserie for two and enjoyed every divine minute.

Mum is a regular swimmer and was keen to try out the amazing pool at the Slieve Donard so we made sure we were an hour early for our appointment so we could have a swim and enjoy the incredible view from the Jacuzzi, the steam room and sauna.

We were really in the relaxation zone and ready for our treatments as we shuffled up the stairs in our luxurious robes and slippers.

We were a little peckish after our swim and a delicious fresh fruit smoothie was just the ticket to hydrate and perk us up ready for our full body massage.

My therapist Sarah took me to the treatment room and talked through how I was feeling so she could tailor the treatment for me. I chose between two oils and then even picked a mood light to suit my mood. My massage was simply superb.

I floated back to the relaxation room to find mum already relaxing with a blissful smile on her face. We chilled out for a while and then headed back to the changing rooms for a quick shower - to wash our hair - while trying not to wash the oils off our skin.

When we were ready we headed down to the Lighthouse Lounge for our afternoon tea. We devoured our scones and sandwiches and indulged in delicious mini cheesecakes, and a white chocolate mouse with pear that was toe-curlingly yummy. Lots of tea and great chat with a backdrop of the Mountains of Mourne and waves beating against the shore - we'd just had a delicious slice of South Down heaven.

The Spa-tisserie experience is available from 9am - 12pm and 2pm - 5pm Monday - Friday for just £75 per person or £89 per person Saturday and Sunday. Or why not add a glass of bubbly for just £8 extra!
