Summer is here and Wimbledon is in full spring so of course that means it's time for some strawberries and cream.
But it's not just your tastebuds that can benefit from this quintessentially English treat.
At Whittlebury Spa they are offering to slather you in the stuff in a unique pampering experience.
But don't worry you won't end up stained red and sticky as this treatment takes the best aspects of the dessert and turns it into a treatment that will leave you relaxed and glowing.
After being ushered into a candlelit room and lying down you will be given a sensory salt scrub that will smooth away dead skin. The gentle waft of strawberries was in the air as the beauty therapist wrapped me up in warm towels to let the salt work it's magic, while she massaged my feet- you can opt for a head massage if you prefer.
After a quick visit to the shower cubicle in the corner to rinse off I lay back as she gently massaged amber and champagne gold dry oil into my skin, leaving a gorgeous subtle shimmer.
The award-winning luxury hotel and spa, Whittlebury Hall, is set in the lovely Northamptonshire countryside, close to Silverstone, and offers a wide variety of beauty treatments to help give you that confidence boost before you bare your skin to the sunshine.
The spa facilities themselves offer everything you could want with a 19-metre swimming pool and jacuzzi, smaller hydrotherapy pool and numerous sauna and steam rooms, as well as an ice cave and tepidarium..
