The Webbington Hotel and Country Club is in the process of building a spa facility, which can be used by guests and residents.

Manager Ian Oliver said: "We are undertaking a major investment and I believe that our new swimming pool will be one of the most expensive private pools in the region."

The new facility will include a poolside relaxation area, scented steam rooms, a sauna and a sun deck. Spa and beauty treatments will also be available.

The new development is set to be completed by February 2008.
