Macdonald Hotels offering Elemis spa treatment with free beauty gift worth over £100
The company's new Timeless Summer Spa Day is on offer at 16 of its spa locations across the UK, providing flexibility to either travel afar or stay local for that essential relaxing break. Imagine a delightful hotel tucked away in the most picturesque parts of the UK, equipped with everything necessary to disconnect, unwind, and recharge from the hustle and bustle of work, family commitments, and the daily pressures of modern life.
The day of pampering includes a sumptuous 55-minute ELEMIS 'Couture Touch' Spa Treatment, which pairs a customised facial with a deep-tissue massage. A comprehensive skin consultation is also part of the package, along with professional skincare advice to maintain that radiant glow.
The spa indulgence doesn't have to conclude when the day ends. The special free gift of the ELEMIS Refine and Rebalance Kit in a chic wash bag, valued at £101, allows the rejuvenation and relaxation to extend to the comfort of one's home.
As reported by the Mirror, the gift bag comprises the ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30, ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash and Facial Pads, and ELEMIS Ultra Smart Pro-Collagen Complex Serum, all neatly packed in a handy wash bag that can be reused time after time.
All 16 spa locations of Macdonald Hotels and Resorts are offering this experience. Among these is the Bath Spa Hotel in Bath, a splendid historic site nestled in a tranquil corner of Bath with landscaped gardens and 2AA Rosette food, where visitors can immerse themselves in the ambiance of the Roman spa town.
For those seeking a retreat into nature, the Forest Hills Resort in Scotland's Trossachs National Park is another option. Surrounded by shimmering lochs, towering mountains and stunning landscapes, it's the perfect spot to take a breather from everyday life and savour the beauty of Scotland.
While there's an array of locations to select from, Macdonald Hotels and Resorts isn't the sole provider of spa services. For instance, Center Parcs offers its Aqua Sana Forest Spas, which provide nature-inspired spa experiences amidst forest surroundings. Visitors have the option to drop in for the day to utilise the spa facilities, or extend their stay to an overnight break with two full days of luxurious relaxation.
There are also numerous spa day deals available from Wowcher. This includes an overnight stay for two at the 4* Thornton Hall Hotel with breakfast, dinner and spa use included, plus Prosecco upgrade options.
Macdonald Hotels and Resorts have been showered with positive feedback on TripAdvisor. A guest at the Bath Spa Hotel shared: "My massage was amazing... The spa facilities were great, as it was sunny we loved having lots of space in the outdoor lounge area. The pool temperature was HOT! So nice."
Another guest at Bath Spa was full of praise, saying: "The hotel is beautiful and very well maintained, our rooms were bright, airy and very clean, the bed was also extremely comfy. The food was delicious and the staff throughout the hotel were so friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble and they made us feel so welcome. They were all exceptional. You can walk into the city centre from the hotel as well which is a bonus."
A different visitor recounted an experience that had its highs and lows: "After getting changed we went to the pool areas which were clean but inside did lack seating for everyone but luckily it was a sunny day so we sat outside. Both pools were clean and lovely, heated outdoor pool was a nice touch."
And a visitor to the Trossachs facility left a glowing review: "The spa was great. The massage was really good, Caroline was kneading bread with my muscles, amazing. The room was excellent, the bed very comfy and the service was great too. I'll definitely come back if I have the chance."

I tried going to bed as ugly as possible to wake up more beautiful – my partner thought I was mad but this item worked
Plus, what experts say we should really do at nighttime for a beauty routine OH SHEET I tried going to bed as ugly as possible to wake up more beautiful – my partner thought I was mad but this item worked THEY call it 'beauty sleep,' but let's be honest - just because I've clocked in a solid eight hours doesn't mean I wake up looking fresh-faced. And some days more than others it certainly takes a bit of work on my puffy eyes and messy hair before I look presentable for the world. 10 The rose of the 'morning shed' has taken over TikTok, racking up over 100million in views worldwide Credit: TikTok/@eringett7 10 The idea is that you go to bed after applying multiple beauty products - and 'shed' them off in the morning to have a 'glow up' Credit: TikTok/@@victoriasamson And sometimes there just isn't time for a miracle, if I'm rushing to work or I'm late out the house. But could TikTokers have the ultimate clever solution to help my predicament? One of the booming beauty trends that has over 100million views is the 'morning shed' - and it looks baffling from first glance. The #morningshed trend is about maximising beauty sleep by applying multiple beauty products before bed, then "shedding" them in the morning to reveal a fresher, more flawless complexion. More on beauty PRICE SNATCH I swear by my secret hack to get beauty buys in Boots for HALF the price TikTokers such as @victoriasamson and @eringetty7 alone have racked up millions of views showing their step-by-step routine, which include putting hair in overnight, heatless curlers and sleeping in a collagen mask. While the nighttime get-up may look silly to some, I was willing to put it to the test to see if it could be the short cut I was craving for looking fresher, faster. MY TEST 10 I applied lip stain, a sleep-in face mask, heatless curlers and a very sexy chin strap Credit: THE SUN After ordering all my products online, I began my nighttime beauty prep with slightly damp hair and a set of heatless curlers, which cost just £2.25 from Shein. I wrapped my hair around the soft band, hoping to wake up with effortless waves. Next, I applied a £12 lip stain by Sacheu, which promised a naturally rosy tint by morning once wiped off. Then came the viral face mask that's been making the rounds on TikTok—part of the ever-growing Korean skincare craze. Morning shed skincare routine and benefits explained This ChicNana Bio Collagen Face Mask, costing £7.99 for four, is designed to be worn overnight; it goes on visible but gradually turns clear as it absorbs into your skin. As a side-sleeper, I was skeptical it would stay put, but I gave it a try. I followed that with a dab of castor oil on my lashes—meant to strengthen and promote growth over time. No overnight miracles expected there, but worth a shot. Then came the slightly absurd-looking £3.99 chin strap from Amazon, promising to 'sculpt jawlines' and 'prevent sagging skin.' I looked absolutely unhinged by this point—but I wasn't done. Finally, I applied the £14.99 SunnieSide Skin Beauty Sleep Tape—a mouth tape that claims to improve sleep, support jawline definition, and lock in overnight lip treatments. 10 My partner got the shock of his life as this 'beauty' showed up in the bedroom Credit: THE SUN 10 I was worried I wouldn't be able to sleep with all of this on my face and head Credit: THE SUN 10 Apparently I had nailed the King Baldwin from Kingdom of Heaven look, according to my partner Credit: Other20th Century Fox As I climbed into bed, my partner audibly gasped and joked that I looked like King Baldwin from Kingdom of Heaven. I couldn't even argue, I did look terrifying. Despite feeling ridiculous and unsure I'd manage to drift off at all, I actually slept through the night without any issues. THE RESULT 10 By morning, the chin strap had fallen off - but the face mask had gone clear and done its magic Credit: THE SUN 10 I was ready to 'shed' off all the products to see the transformation Credit: THE SUN 10 My hair had transformed overnight without needing heat Credit: THE SUN I woke up hoping I'd somehow transformed into a Disney princess overnight—but reality, as always, had other plans. My chin strap had wandered off sometime during the night, and my lip stain had smudged across my face—probably thanks to the moisture from the sheet mask (which, miraculously, had stayed in place and left my skin feeling surprisingly fresh). The mouth tape held firm too, and even better, it completely silenced my partner's snoring—thanks to the strip I'd 'generously' applied to him in solidarity. I was honestly amazed, and safe to say, he'll be wearing one every night from now on. The real triumph, though, was my hair. It had curled perfectly overnight, leaving it bouncy and ready to go—no styling required. I was least impressed with the lip stain, which had left my lips dry, so I gave them a boost with my Silk'n Lumilips LED Lip Mask, which is designed to visibly plump and brightens lips and the surrounding area. A quick swipe of mascara, and I was ready to head out the door, feeling put-together with barely any effort at all - in the morning at least. 10 I plumped my lips in seconds with the Silk'n Lumilips LED Lip Mask Credit: SUPPLIED WHAT DO EXPERTS SAY? But what should we really be doing for our skincare routine, and is the 'morning shed' too over the top? Shubhi Grover, Head of Consumer and Beauty at Sapience Communications, told Fabulous: "I believe there's a fine line between a ritual and a routine. "While elaborate morning shed routines may look visually impressive on TikTok, much of the real skin and hair work actually happens overnight, when the body is in recovery mode. 'Your evening routine should be intentional and not overwhelming, as most of us make that mistake. 'A few high-quality, well-formulated products tailored to your skin or hair type can go further than a 12-step ritual you won't sustain. 'I recommend focusing on hydration, barrier repair, and scalp care at night, to wake up glowing without the excessive morning 'undoing.'' The dream nighttime beauty routine, according to experts SHUBHI Grover, Head of Consumer and Beauty at Sapience Communications gave her absolute non-negotiables for nighttime... A gentle double cleanse to remove SPF and pollutants - double cleanse is my holy grail An ultra-hydrating serum with peptides or hyaluronic acid A silk pillowcase to reduce friction - great for both skin and hair And on my hair: a light scalp serum and a loose protective braid or silk bonnet She added: 'I would say it's less faff, more science, and most importantly, consistency goes a long way." CONCLUSION While the full nighttime beauty routine was fun to try, I'll be honest—it's a bit too time-consuming to keep up with every single night. That said, there are definitely a few steps I'll be sticking with. The heatless curlers are an easy win—no heat damage, and I wake up with soft, bouncy waves. The overnight face mask left my skin feeling fresh and hydrated, so that's staying in rotation too. And as for the mouth tape? I might not wear it every night, but my partner definitely will—his snore-free sleep was the real MVP of the whole experiment.

I Swear By This Cult Cleanser, But Its Newest Summer Upgrade Is Even Better
As a beauty writer with access to just about every brand under the sun, my skincare shelf has its ride-or-die staples – and trust me, Elemis has earned its permanent spot (looking at you, Dynamic Resurfacing Pads). In fact, its cult Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm has been a staple in my curated nighttime schedule for years. But just when I thought I'd perfected my skincare routine, the range got the perfect summer-ready update. Enter: the Elemis Pro-Collagen Toning Mist. Packed with the same hydrating and soothing magic that the Elemis Pro-Collagen range is famed for, the new refreshing toning mist promises to be the ultimate summer skin fix. As someone who suffers from dehydrated skin, a plumping, collagen-boosting mist is exactly what I'm in the market for. So when the new Elemis mist landed on my desk, promising to instantly refine any texture and add tonnes of moisture, I was naturally intrigued. I've been testing it out for a week now, and trust me when I say, with just the first few spritzes, I was hooked. It delivers an instant hit of hydration, a subtle glow, and that fresh-out-the-facial feeling. An absolute godsend in the middle of this unbearable heatwave? It cools my skin and calms my mood. It's versatile enough to use morning, night, or whenever your skin needs a little extra boost. Perfect for prepping skin before your serum, setting make-up with a dewy finish, or simply reviving a tired complexion throughout the day, it's the kind of product that's always in my handbag. Having used it for a week, I've noticed that continued use gently refines texture thanks to subtle exfoliating ingredients, making it more than just a mist. It's truly just skincare with staying power. 1.
