Mercure Holland House Hotel & Spa Cardiff has been revealed as the top spa in Wales. The findings have been revealed by Europe’s leading spa experience and booking agency Spabreaks.com which totalled 23.10% of all bookings made in Wales this year.

Spa-goers will predominantly find the top hotel destinations in Cardiff and the South East. The Celtic Manor Resort falls just short of the number one spot, with Voco St. David’s and Park Plaza in Cardiff following closely behind. The rest of the top spas in the area includes Vale Resort, Bryn Meadows Golf, Hotel and Spa, Delta Hotels by Marriott St. Pierre Country Club and The Parkgate Hotel.

With more than 700 spa destinations in the UK and overseas to choose from, Spabreaks.com’s elite list recommends spas across the country, making it easier than ever for holidaymakers to find somewhere close to home. There’s also the opportunity to book half day packages - giving workers and parents restricted by the school run flexibility when it comes to accessing the spa.

According to Spabreaks.com founder Abi Selby, spa days are not only the perfect retreat for a special occasion, but also a way to improve mental and physical health with regular attendance. “Invest in yourself by prioritising your well-being and it will be the best decision ever made,” she says.

Abi added: “Our unbeatable selection of top-quality spa hotels across the country means you’re never too far away from a day or night of luxury. Invest in prioritising your self-care and see the results come back in spades.”

Modern wedding rituals revealed as Brits bury sausages for the big day

For decades, the British wedding has followed a well-known rulebook of etiquette, from formal seating plans to three tier cakes. However, new research from Moonpig, the UK's leading online greeting card and gift retailer, has revealed that the nation is moving away from these traditions in favour of highly personal and often quirky rituals. The study of 1,500 Brits reveals that authenticity is winning over tradition. Six in ten (59%) believe a wedding should be a true reflection of the couple's personalities, even if it means breaking classic wedding etiquette. To ensure their day feels truly unique, many are turning to unconventional superstitions and spiritual services. Over one in five (22%) Brits said they have buried or would consider burying a sausage to guarantee good weather on their wedding day.
