Affordable luxury with One Off Places: hot tubs and spa treatments that don't cost the earth...

Spa treatments, private hot tubs and massages – something most of us can only dream of. Or not? You can easily pay upwards of £100 per person per day for some pampering and luxury in a UK spa. So why not spend less cash, and get private facilities? If you rent a property with friends or family, with a hot tub and / or spa facilities on site, then you’re unlikely to be spending that amount of money, and that can even include flights.....
