Good Spa Guide Spy Awards 2011

To be announced Friday 1 July 2011

	Horse Chestnut Wrap and Sweet Pea and Rose Facial at Rockliffe Hall Supreme signature treatment Rockliffe Hall's wrap and facial combo not only gave amazing results, but the treatment is an ideal match for its spa. The horse chestnuts, sweet peas and roses were sourced from Rockliffe's own grounds. These ingredients, when combined in a modern, perfectly co-ordinated spa treatment, offer a perfect summary of Rockliffe Hall: a classical, English estate with a sympathetically designed, contemporary spa.

	Four Seasons Park Lane Spa by yourself A spa with some serious investment doesn't necessarily make for a flawless spa experience. However, Four Seasons Park Lane has perfected the art of spa-ing alone, offering an unrivalled individual journey. From the light lounge surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows through to the cocoon of privacy and serenity within, Four Seasons Park Lane's spa voyage even includes your own discreet "pod" for complete relaxation after your treatment. We loved it! Read our full review!

	ESPA Super Active Facial at Thornton Hall Finest fabulush facial This exclusive ESPA facial is only available at a handful of spas. More than one of the Good Spa Spies have been lucky enough to experience this glorious facial, and we were suitably impressed. Sassy Spy couldn't believe the immediate results, and was further astounded by the long-lasting results – as effective as a series of treatments. We felt pampered, nourished and regenerated – everything you want out of a perfect facial experience. Read our full review!

	Elakizhi ayurvedic herbal poultice massage at Antara Spa at the Chelsea Club Most marvellous massage More than just a massage, the Elakizhi Ayurvedic Herbal Poultice Massage provided a genuinely Ayurvedic experience, performed to perfection. It seems our readers agreed as they described massages at Antara as "life changing" and the therapists as "outstanding". When it comes to authenticity and wonderful execution, we simply couldn't fault Antara Spa. Read our full review!

	Temple Spa Skin Truffle Pamper-perfect product It takes a lot to impress the Good Spa Spies. So many products make crazy claims about the effectiveness of their products. When we found Temple Spa's Skin Truffle, we fell in love! Containing chocolate, diamonds and strawberries, this product makes you feel very special indeed, and the results were truly astounding! Our skin was noticeably smoother, and our fine lines were definitely reduced. Judging by our reader's reactions, there are an awful lot of other Temple Spa Skin Truffle fans out there, too!

	Coworth Park Sparkling new spa Coworth Park makes combining five-bubble fabulousness with eco-friendly, ethical considerations look like child's play. This gorgeous spa impressed one of our hardest-to-please Spies so much she genuinely didn't want to leave. Our Spy described the pool as "faultless", the treatments "exquisite" and the customer service "enrapturing". High praise indeed and most definitely the most impressive sparkling new spa we've found this year. Read our full review!

	runnymede-on-thames Customer service without batting an eyelid We were blown away by the attention to detail at runnymede-on-thames, and judging from our readers' feedback, you all were, too! Runnymede has a wide appeal – families, couples, friends, and business people are all catered for here, and every customer is cared for equally. One reader told us that "everyone takes such pride in their jobs" at Runnymede. Another told us that the staff "make you feel like you are part of a special family". We totally agree, and we adored the care we received. Read our full review!

The Good Spa Guide is the UK's only independent guide to spas, therapies or treatments.

Spas cannot pay for a listing on The Good Spa Guide and all our reviews are independent. We've put countless spas through our rigorous checks so we can help you with where to go, what treatment to have, what service to expect and who to take with you, if anyone. Our unique bubble rating tells you which spas to avoid and which spas you'll never want to leave.

Now, we've drawn on our years of experience to present the Good Spa Awards.
