The Moat spa to open at North Wales' Ruthin Castle hotel

One of the UK's first outdoor log-fired sauna tents is to form part of The Moat spa - a new concept being launched at North Wales' privately-owned Ruthin Castle hotel in July.

The Moat will be nestled amid the rustic woodlands of the historic castle's moat and features indoor and outdoor experiences, including the sauna tent in the middle of the moat.

A Dutch hot tub with seaweed and herbs; a fire pit for barbeques; and a spring water shower fed by the Clwydian mountains will also be among the spa's outdoor facilities.

The Moat's indoor facilities include spring water and mineral-rich hot tubs; thermal rooms; a mud bath; and five treatment rooms - one of which is a VIP couples' room.

Treatments will contain products made exclusively for The Moat and will use ingredients that have been sourced locally, such as Anglesey sea salts and sweet honey.

A spokesperson said: "This very special spa draws heavily on its majestic North Wales setting in both its design and use of quality local products in the treatments.

"It is further influenced by a wide range of cultures from around the globe producing a wellbeing experience which is simply unforgettable."
