The Sunday Post | Spa Day & Afternoon Tea at The Newbridge on USK

Last Thursday I turned the grand old age of 22 and this year I decided to spend my birthday being pampered. My friend Katy booked us both in for a luxury spa day at the Celtic Manor Hotel. The Re-energiser spa deal included two treatments of your choice - we chose the Jessica GELeration express pedicure and signature back, neck and shoulder massage. It also included full use of all the facilities including the pool, steam room, sauna and jacuzzi which we used to our full advantage as well as complimentary use of slippers and robes. We were booked in for our treatments at 2.00pm so we decided to have a swim before and then arrived ready for our treatments 5 minutes prior. I had my pedicure first whereby I chose a pink glitter colour to be painted on my toes. I then enjoyed a massage, which was my first ever and it was wonderful. I felt so relaxed and sleepy afterwards. Each treatment lasted 25 minutes. The deal is running from the 1st-30th June, costing only £39.00 Monday to Thursday which is a great price considering it includes use of all facilities and two lovely treatments.

After we'd been pampered for few hours at the spa, we had booked ourselves in for afternoon tea at the New Bridge on USK - a quaint pub which overlooks the river USK. We enjoyed a spot of afternoon tea as we sat outside on the riverside and admired the beautiful view. The afternoon tea costs £10.00 each and included a pot of tea of your choice and a selection of cakes, which included welsh cakes, walnut cakes, mini Victoria sponges, chocolate cones and a scone with jam and clotted cream. We enjoyed our cakes and tea whilst we watched the salmon jumping about in the river and soaked up the glorious sunshine. A perfect way to spend my 22nd Birthday!
