Not helpful. It's the same on a UK only search. Interestingly, it doesn't appear for a search on 'spa hotel' . In fact there's a very nice site there for a four star hotel.

Still clearly huge potential in the name.

I expected to see this go for £3k-£5k, so I think it's a good buy.

I wouldn't go anywhere near this one for £2k. Not when Google are serving up this:

I'll ignore the Belgium results since I'm searching from mainland Europe. Look at the scrolling needed to even see the first natural result, and the placement so many map results are given above it. Sucks if you already owned domains/sites then Google brought that in - you just got a massive slice taken out of your assets value.

Yes, it's a bit sucky, especially when you consider that Spa, Belgium only has a population of 10,000 or thereabouts. It isn't triggered by 'spa hotel'. Maybe at some point the situation will change. Not ideal though.
