Day 1 of my and Sam's
Fifth anniversary celebrations.
I used Groupon to have a look at deals for me and Sam to do while we were in Royal Leamington Spa. They had an offer for £25 which caught my eye the deal included use of the gym, jacuzzi, steam room and 1 hours ten pin bowling. If available we could have 20% off a spa treatment but there was no space when I phoned to book and we werent really that bothered.
The hotel was in the countryside. I have never drove down actual country lanes so it was.....erm...... lets just say different haha, I don't think Sam enjoyed it as much as I did. We drove past it at first but we pulled into a side lane and turned around, we pulled up to the hotel and honestly the photo's online do it no justice, it took my breathe away. 
We walked in the this posh hotel sticking out like sore thumbs in our gym clothes. We spoke to a lovely lady at the main reception who pointed us in the right direction to the leisure reception. We arrived and there was nobody around but a sign said to call a number using the phone for assistance. Shortly after calling the number a very chirpy man can strolling along ready to help, He made us feel extremely comfortable.
We signed in and he showed us the changing room, gave us some slippers then showed us around the gym. Me and Sam spent time on the bikes, cross trainer, rowing machines and different weights which was a first for me. My arms ached so much but I kind of liked it. We then got changed into our swimming costumes and headed to the swimming pool which was fun, Sam is not a fan of swimming pools but he came in and we dunked our heads under the water trying to look at each other and we swam a little. We then hopped into the jacuzzi which was roasting hot but that didn't stop us staying in there for roughly 30 - 40 minutes.
It took me almost an hour to get dressed I had a mini melt down in the changing rooms because it was so hot in there, my shower cubicle flooded and I had to do my make up twice. Sam was waiting outside the changing room for 25 minutes...ooooppppps. Once I emerged from my hot hell haha we went to the bar to redeem out free cups of tea and a danish pastry. They were both yummy.
It was now roughly 6.30pm and our bowling was booked for 7pm but I thought we should ask if we could bowl instead of sitting around for half an hour. The man at the leisure reception let us go straight down. The room had four little lanes and uv lights like Tenpin's cosmic bowling. Sam chose to have the barriers down for the first game and I only scored 37, the next two games I had the barriers up and I got 96 and 84. Sam won all 3 games unfortunately and I got a little bit moody haha.
It was the end of our evening at Hellion Lake Hotel and it was amazing. I had so much fun and I would totally go back.
Have you ever been?
