A state-of-the-art spa has opened at a Norfolk Broads hotel following a £3.5m investment and it includes a UK first.
The Norfolk Mead Hotel in Coltishall, a restored Georgian manor on the banks of the River Bure, previously just had treatment rooms.
It has now opened a huge spa and 24 new members of staff have been recruited.

There are two bookable experiences, for an additional cost, and in the Mud Chamber guests embark on the "ultimate detox journey".
The Beer Spa is a UK first and it is a popular European treatment "celebrated for its antioxidant effects".
Guests enter a wooden tub filled with vitamin-rich malt and hops and get their own beer tap, with Woodforde's Brewery the supplier.
