Dire Dunblane Hydro

Advantages: Nice Leisure Centre
Disadvantages: Poor Service

...removed and not even background music was played during meals. After settling in I decided to go for a swim before dinner which we had booked for 8PM. The pool area was a bit run down but fairly clean and the temperature of the water was lovely and warm. The steam room was very relaxing and had a lovely menthol aroma. I cannot comment on the sauna as I don?t like saunas. There are two showers by the poolside, one cold and one hot so there is no need to go back to the changing rooms to shower down after leaving the steam room or Jacuzzi. I was so looking forward to dinner as I have had many pleasant meals in the Dunblane Hydro in the past. We arrived on time and were shown to our table. Gone are the table covers and the tables are so close together you can hear the conversations of neighbouring guests. We ordered drinks, one pint...

Review of Dunblane Hydro, Dunblane

Seamill Hydro ~ the place to stay!

Advantages: Caters for all ages, disabilities and interests
Disadvantages: Can be a bit expensive

...Looking for a luxurious and picturesque place to stay with lots to do for all the family? Look no further, the Seamill Hydro Hotel in Ayrshire has it all! We stayed here for two nights in May 2005 and were exceedingly impressed. *** HOTEL OVERVIEW *** The Scottish 19th century hotel is on the edge of the coast with views of the Isle of Arran and you can access the beach directly from the hotel grounds. The hotel highly promotes both relaxation and health/well being within a high quality, luxury environment. *** LOCATION *** Situated on the A78, from the south it is ½ mile within Seamill itself. From Glasgow, you would follow A737 and would pick up brown signs to the hotel. *** FACILITIES *** At this point, it'd be easier to put what they don't have! They have two restaurants, one main and a bistro. Children eat free in...

a shower with milk?

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...Mrs B is a busy old bee right now that we have Baby B who seems to take up all of our time. It's not very often that she is able to find the time to have a luxurious bath and relax and she can't justify spending a fortune on luxrious bath products either but this doesn't mean that she doesn't want to actually have a spot of luxury now that she is so busy. Mrs B decided to treat herself to this shower milk last time we went shopping. After a very hectic week with a teething 9 month old Mrs B decided that she needed to feel human again and whilst we were in our local Sainsbury's she disappeared off down the 'smelly' aisle and came back with this bottle of palmolive. She declared that she needed it as she wantd to treat herself to something different to just a standard soap and that it was cheap and smelt good. Palmolive...

Review of Palmolive Naturals Shower Milk Sensitive with Almond & Moisturising Milk

The secret of sparkling showers...

Advantages: It really does work
Disadvantages: None

...Given that I absolutely hate cleaning showers (all that glass to shine) it was inevitable that I would insist on this being used! WHAT IS IT? Indeed what is it? This is going to ensure that the one person in the house who hates showers does not have to irritated by those little water marks all over the glass. The product claims to clean the shower surfaces without the need for scrubbing wiping and rinsing. Fantastic! It will also, if used regularly, prevent the build up of scum, mould, mildew and limescale PRODUCT AND PACKAGING The wonder product comes in a clear spray can with a trigger head spray and one of those nozzles you turn to close the spray when not in use. The shower spray itself is clear and smells faintly of cleaning products. It is definitely not a strong or unpleasant smell, but rather the kind of smell...

Review of Sainsbury Shower Cleaner

The subtle shower experiance.

Advantages: A good quality produt, that doesn't irritate already sore skin.
Disadvantages: Not as strong scented as i would have liked.

...One thing that seems to be used in abundance in my house is shower gel. Since allowing my children to take showers on their own and pour there own cleaning products too, my shower gel bill has risen dramatically! Due to an ongoing offer at Asda, my prayers have been answered, pricewise, to a large selection of good quality gels available at fantastic prices?.this is one of them! The shower gel I will now review is - ?Imperial leather - Hawaiian spa? I think I may have actually worked my way through every ?flavour? in this range and not been disappointed with any off them, though the packaging leaves a little to be desired. The bottle is clear plastic, through which the thick shower gel can be seen, this particular one being lilac, the bottle has also got the corresponding coloured lid too. Now the problem I have is the shape...

Shower power

Advantages: Requires only a cold water supply and electricty to produce a consistent shower.
Disadvantages: It isn't an invigorating shower when the temperature is turned up.

...I thought buying a shower would be easy. I thought I?d walk into that rather lovely bathroom shop, point at a shower and ask if they had a gentleman who could fit it for me. Oh, no, it?s not that simple. ?I?d like a shower please.? ?Certainly, would you like an electric shower, a mixer shower or a power shower?? I found myself gazing upwards at a steep learning curve but for the sake of brevity I?ll condense the next half hour into as few words as possible. We?ll start with the mixer shower. Have you seen those bath taps that have a switch to divert the water through a shower head? Well, that?s a mixer shower. For this you need to have one of the following systems: ~ Gravity fed hot and cold water supplies. ~ A fully modulating combination boiler or ~ Mains pressure hot and cold water which is unvented. What you...

Review of Mira Advance Electric Shower

A very average Lush shower gel

Advantages: smells OK, lathers well, gets skin clean
Disadvantages: nothing special about it, a little pricier than others

...I tend to have a few bottles of shower gel on the go at once - one to suit every mood! I noticed that a lot of my Lush shower gels are approaching their use-by dates, and as such have been using them regularly over the past few weeks to make sure I use them up on time! Having got to the end of all of the others, I was left with half a bottle of The Olive Branch. When it came to picking a shower gel, nine times out of ten The Olive Branch would be near the bottom of the list. I don't know what it is about this product, because it's nice enough - as I will describe if you read on - but I suppose it just lacks the 'wow factor' I've had from some of the other Lush shower gels I've used, such as Slammer and Snow Fairy. The Olive Branch comes in the same packaging as the other Lush shower gels (apart from the name on the label...

Joop! Homme Shower Gel

Advantages: smells nice,layers and compliments the scent of the perfume
Disadvantages: none really, possibly too expensive for some

...Joop! Homme ~ Shower Gel Some time ago my husband got a Joop! Homme gift set for Christmas; he really likes all of the Joop fragrances, but Joop! Homme is his all time favourite. The Joop! Homme gift set which he received consisted of a bottle of Joop! Homme eau de toilette, a tube of shower gel and a tube of shaving balm. The gift set wasn't really expensive and only cost about £28-30 for all three items, which is really good value for money considering a 75ml bottle of Joop! Homme eau de toilette costs £30. Most of the time when I am buying a perfume for myself or my husband I always tend to purchase the git set because you get more for your money and you also get the bath and body products which compliment and layer the scent of the perfume. The picture at the top of this review is incorrect and doesn't resemble...

Review of Joop! Homme Shower Gel

A shower gel for the wealthy

Advantages: Compliments the fragrance, stylish bottle, makes your skin fell smooth
Disadvantages: Far too expensive

...If it were down to me I would never buy a ?designer? shower gel. They are a very expensive luxury and for every day use I would use a much, much cheaper alternative that would satisfy my needs just as well. Having run out of the Issey fragrance my other half treated me to a gift set containing not only the fragrance but two 100ml bottles of shower gel as well. Whilst it was really extravagant I was informed that the shower gel and gift wrapped box was only a few pounds more expensive than a bottle of the fragrance alone therefore the savings were huge. Having used the shower gel a few times I thought I would share my thoughts and opinions. ****Bottle**** At first glance the Issey Miyake shower gel could easily be mistaken for a bottle of the Issey Miyake fragrance (please see the review if you are interested on my thoughts...

ENERGISING SHOWER GEL!

Advantages: smells nice, layers and compliments the scent of the perfume
Disadvantages: none really, slihtly expensive for some

...Hugo Boss ~ Energise ~ Shower Gel I bought my husband a Hugo Boss Energise gift set for his Christmas, he has a few Hugo Boss fragrances and he likes the smell of them as do I. Inside the gift set there was a bottle of Energise Eau De Toilette, a tube of shower gel and shaving balm. The gift set wasn't that expensive and only cost me £30 for all three items; when I'm buying perfumes I tend to always buy gift sets because they are better value for money. The Hugo Boss Energise shower gel can also be bought on its own from most department stores if you don't want to buy a gift set. As you can see from the picture at the top of this review the shower gel is supplied in a silver coloured tube which has a chunky silver screw on/off lid. I think that the tube of shower gel has really simple colouring and design; yet it still...
