Then choose this deal from Blisslight Yoga and Massage in Glasgow’s Charing Cross. This cosy and relaxing therapy space is run by Vikki,  a warm and knowledgeable therapist who has trained in India, Thailand and the UK. Her treatments are especially popular with desk workers and fitness fans, who can easily build up aches, pains and strains.

Treat yourself this winter! You can take this deal from now until the end of January, from noon to 8pm, Thursday to Monday.

The hotel’s spa is small and welcoming, and afternoon tea is served in the Cucina restaurant between 1.30pm and 5pm.

Delicious!
