British actor and former Loose Women star Lynda Bellingham opened the Imagine Spa at Hazlewood Castle Hotel near Leeds on 30 April.

Hotel owners, Ashdale Hotels, have partnered with the new owners of the Imagine Spa – Mosaic Spa & Health Clubs to create this £200,000 3,500sq ft (325sq m) facility – set within 77 acres of parkland.

“We are delighted to have had a national treasure like Lynda launch our new Imagine Spa,” said Dave Courteen, managing director of Mosaic Spa and Health Clubs.

Designed by Justin O’Brien from Calder Peel Design, the spa includes four treatment rooms, one of which is a double, a manicure and makeup lounge, a relaxation room, three changing rooms and a garden. Products used in treatments will be provided by Babor.

The spa will also feature a Serail Mud Chamber.

The Serail Mud Chamber is a two-person steam chamber which is pre-programmed to give guests a 45-minute treatment. Various muds are applied to both guests by a therapist before they enter the steam chamber. After 30 minutes of steam, an overhead shower washes the mud away – cooling the guest.

Mosaic Spa and Health Clubs also run another of Ashdale Hotels' spas at the Dower House and Spa in Harrogate.
