Dalhousie Castle (Aqueous Spa): the 13th century castle with 21st century treatments
"The hotel:
A fascinating 13th century fortress set within acres of wooded parkland on the picturesque banks of the river Esk.
From the moment you arrive at Dalhousie Castle, one of the finest luxury hotels in Scotland, a warm Scottish welcome awaits. Whether relaxing in The Spa, enjoying one of the library’s extensive collection of books and a drink from the ‘secret bar’ next to the open fire, dining in the ancient barrel vaulted dungeon on our exceptional cuisine or relaxing in your unique castle bedroom, you will always feel as welcome as the ‘Laird’.
In medieval times, life at Dalhousie Castle would have been anything but stress-free, but now all that has changed with the introduction of what was Scotland’s very first hydro spa.
The spa:
For the ultimate in relaxation, we have created The Spa at Dalhousie Castle, a hydro spa, the first of its kind in Scotland. The Spa at Dalhousie Castle combines relaxing and therapeutic spa treatments with the invigorating and rejuvenating hydro facilities. These include everything from the hydro pool, with its multi-massage jet pool, to the rasul, a small chamber in which you apply mud to give your body and mind a cleanse, and from the ottoman, a Turkish-style steam bath, to the tropical rain and cold fog shower which gently refreshes your senses and invigorates your body.
You can benefit from a wide choice of therapeutic and beauty treatments that range from complete exfoliating and moisturising.
The facilities:
