Fancy a bit of pampering yourself without having to travel too far from home?
You're in luck, as two County Durham hotels have been named among the best spa breaks in the UK.
In a list on Guardian Travel, the Garage Spa at the Morritt in Greta Bridge near Barnard Castle, was named among 40 selected from all over the UK as a 'great value break.' The Morritt and its Garage Spa, which has twice been the winner of the Good Spa Guide's best boutique spa, is a former stopping station for travellers making their way between London and Carlisle.
