A £350,000 extension to one of North Somerset’s largest health clubs was officially opened on Friday.

The new facility at theclub at DoubleTree by Hilton, Cadbury House includes a relaxation area, sun deck and outside sauna and hot tub.

The relaxation area is decorated with soft lighting and underfloor heating and includes both double and full-length loungers for guests to enjoy.

The club’s general manager Jason Eaton said the works were necessary due to an increase in the number of people booking spa breaks at the Congresbury club.

He said: “Demand for weekend spa breaks, mother and daughter pamper days, hen weekends and ongoing improvements to our facilities has resulted in the opening of this fantastic new extension.

“There is nothing quite like this in the whole South West and it increases the appeal of visiting or becoming a member here at Cadbury House. Continually improving members and guests’ experiences is what sets us apart from all the other health clubs.

“Opening at the beginning of February means we’ve probably got a few chilly days and nights ahead, so those brave enough can wander outside, hop in the sauna or hot tub and make the most of this new area.”
