Cameron House (De Vere Hotel), Loch Lomond - 4 bubbles

Which treatments did you have?

I had the Pure Lochside Hot Rainshower massage (80 minutes £110/130) and the Pure Radiance Organic Facial (90 minutes, £110/130).

What were the treatments like?

My therapist, Lyndsay, took me through to the quiet treatment room and explained what the treatments would involve. She gave me a glamorous pair of disposable knickers and asked me to get ready by wearing these and lying down on the treatment bed.

The rainshower massage was more soothing than I had anticipated. The treatment began with an exfoliation using an organic sugar body scrub, which was very gentle and smelled deliciously of mandarin. There was also a wrap, using three kinds of clay, which smelled earthily like it was doing me good.

Lindsay washed everything off using the Vichy Shower, with warm jets of water directed across my body while I lay on the treatment bed. I felt very hydrated and wondered just how wet a person could get!

The massage, using detoxifying body treatment balm with essential oils was both relaxing and refreshing, with scents of grapefruit and juniperberry. The shea butter of the balm melted into my skin, leaving it soft and enriched.

The facial started in the best way possible -- with a foot massage! In fact, the whole treatment involved lots of facial massage, too, with oil, which was divine. Lindsay treated my skin to cleansing and polishing, using the Pure Lochside organic orange products, as well as the massage, then a mask. While the mask was working its magic, Lindsay wrote out which products she had used -- but I was already a convert to this range, often using the orange facial oil at home.

The two treatments together offered so much massage and relaxation, that every bit of me felt unwound.

How did you feel afterwards?

The combination of the body treatment and massage left me very smooth, very calm and very thirsty. (In her notes on the treatment, Lindsay sternly admonished me to drink more water to stay hydrated.)
