Hotel spa treat

jenny-wren

I'd like to surprise my 70+ Mum with a spa treat for her birthday. Nothing fancy, just use of a pool, steam room and jacuzzi somewhere where we can also have a nice lunch.

She has osteoarthritis and the pool would need to have a set of walk down steps rather than a ladder so she doesn't have to endure pain to get in and out. She can't currently use her bath at home because it's too difficult to get out of from a sitting position.

I've looked at Galgorm, the Radisson Limavady, the Burrendale and the Slieve Donard. I've been to Galgorm before and, from memory, the pool had ladder type steps which could prove to be too difficult for her to manage.

Does anyone have experience of any of these spas that could recommend one that might be suitable that won't break the bank?

The Slieve Donard definitely has steps down. I was at the Galgorm about a year ago, and I'm nearly sure it had steps down too - but you could maybe ring them and check. I would highly recommend either of them. The Galgorm has the bonus that children aren't allowed in, which makes for a much more relaxing experience in my opinion!

La Mon's pool has steps down into it. They often have good offers on.
