MACDONALD CARDRONA HOTEL, SCOTTISH BORDERS
For a pampering stay with rooms coming in under £100 per night, this hotel in Peebles is a real winner. You're enveloped by some stunning countryside, making for a relaxing start - but things get even better when you arrive at the spa. Anti-ageing Elemis treatments join thermal suites and a pool overlooking the grounds. Book a morning of indulgent relaxing treatments, then follow up with a decadent (and home-made) afternoon tea. Book it: Doubles from £85, room only; macdonaldhotels.co.uk
YE OLDE BELL, NOTTINGHAMSHIRE
From the wooden alpine sauna (great for detoxification) to the salt inhalation room (soothing for respiratory issues), you could spend a day just hopping between the 11 thermal spaces. But there are many more reasons to visit the swish spa at this historic hotel, including the indoor/outdoor vitality pool and alfresco relaxation areas. After your muscle-melting massage, dine at the Herb Garden Brasserie, then chill out in your hotel room - decked out in period antiques and decadent drapery. Book it: Doubles including spa access, lunch and breakfast from £190pp; yeoldebell-hotel.co.uk

'THAT'S NOT MY BABY'
Lying in the hospital bed, my husband Michael had tears of happiness in his eyes as he showed me a photo on his phone. 'Here she is,' he said proudly. 'This is our beautiful baby girl.'I stared at the photo and shook my head. 'No, that's not my baby,' I said. 'There must be a mistake.'It was August 2010 and I'd not long before had an emergency caesarean. I'd not had a chance to see Winnie when she arrived as she'd been whisked away for tests because she was nearly two months premature.
