Mother’s Day – the Woodlands Way
It’s that time of year again when we celebrate the magnificent women who care for us, cheer us on and somehow hold everything together by showering them with plenty of love (and, of course, a few well-chosen gifts).
Whether the leading lady in your life is a mum-to-be, a mum of a teenager (which definitely deserves a medal!), a grandma who’s more than ready for some well-earned pampering or a proud dog mum whose camera roll is almost entirely paw-traits, this is your chance to show her just how much she means to you.
If you’re looking for the perfect way to spoil her this Mother’s Day, we’ve gathered a few thoughtful ideas that are guaranteed to earn you some serious brownie points!
All experiences can be booked online or purchased as a gift voucher so she can enjoy it at a time that suits her best.
The gift of wellness
If the woman you’re celebrating deserves a proper switch-off (and let’s face it, don’t they all?), a wellness experience might be the perfect treat. Give her the blissful gift of relaxation with a soothing spa treatment. Even better, all 40-minute treatments and 75-minute massages booked for Mother’s Day weekend (13th–16th March) receive 20% off with a gift voucher!
Or for something a little different, why not buy a one-hour Wilderness Sauna session gift voucher for up to four people? After all, sometimes the best way to catch up is while doing absolutely nothing at all.
A cosy catch-up
Not every celebration needs to be extravagant, sometimes the perfect evening is simply good food, good drinks and great company. Grab your mum and head to the Clubhouse Bar for a cosy evening together. Sip on delicious hand-shaken cocktails, tuck into mouth-watering dishes from Kitchen Food Truck and enjoy a relaxed girly dinner filled with laughter. Kitchen Food Truck & the Clubhouse Bar are open every evening from 5pm – 8pm.
The grown-up getaway
Life moves quickly and before you know it, months have passed since you last spent proper one-on-one time with your mum. So this year, why not swap the usual flowers for something even better, quality time together? A stay in a SeaBeds Luxury Lookout is the perfect excuse to press pause on busy schedules and enjoy some proper catch-up time. Enjoy cosy evenings on the sofa watching your favourite films on the projector, long chats over a glass of something bubbly and relaxing in your private hot tub as the sun sets.
Adventure together
Of course, if your mum is the adventurous type, relaxation might not be her style! In that case, it’s time to dial up the fun at the Woodlands Activity Centre.
Glide through the estate on a Segway tour, channel your inner Robin Hood with a spot of archery or hire an e-bike and explore the stunning castles and scenery along the Caledonia Cycle Track.
New mama magic
Let’s be honest, very few new mums are getting the kind of sleep they deserve. Between night feeds, early mornings and the general chaos of life with a newborn, a full night’s rest can feel like winning the lottery. So why not give the gift every new mum truly wants: SLEEP!
A Woodlands retreat is the ultimate treat for a baby-mama who deserves a little peace and quiet. Imagine breathing in fresh woodland air, soaking in a bubbling hot tub and drifting off to sleep to the gentle sound of the nearby river. An overnight stay at RiverBeds Luxury Wee Lodges guarantees the kind of deep, dreamy rest she’s been craving.
Each lodge is designed with relaxation in mind. Soft mood lighting lets guests set the perfect calming atmosphere (think tranquil blues and gentle glows), while the Sea Kelp toiletries contain polyphenols that help promote relaxation, similar to the soothing effects of lavender or chamomile. And when it comes to sleep, we didn’t cut corners. Our lodges feature ultra-comfy Simba hybrid mattresses, topped with cloud-soft Egyptian cotton sheets. The result? The kind of sleep dreams are made of.
