Stobo Castle Health Spa has won the Best Destination Spa award at the British Beauty Awards ceremony held this month (September).

After winning Health Spa of the Year award at the Professional Beauty awards in April this year, the company says Stobo is the only health resort in the UK ever to be voted top of its industry twice in the same year.

Stephen Winyard, managing director of Stobo Castle, says the secret of the company's success is its 'highly motivated and dedicated' team of 150 staff:

'The challenge over the next 12 months is to ensure that the high standards of service we provide are not compromised during the construction of our new £5m spa. Each and every department will work extra hard to make sure that our guests receive an unrivalled level of customer care and that their visit is as enjoyable as ever.

To be completed in July next year, the partially glazed extension will house a 25m pool, hydrospa, air-conditioned aerobics studio and gymnasium, aromatic steam room, rasul and hammam. Details: ++44 (0)1721 760249
