Whether you’re in need of a deep tissue massage, a luxurious weekend or just some peace and quiet, we are more than spoilt for choice in the UK, thanks to all these cracking spas. But one has just been named as the very best of all, and it’s right outside Manchester.
Sat in the scenic Cheshire Peak District is the Rookery Hall Hotel and Spa, and it’s just won the AA Best UK Spa Award. And with thousands of annual visitors and state-of-the-art facilities, you can see why.
There’s a tonne of luxurious wellness treatments on offer at Rookery Hall, including massages, facials and pedicures alongside a pool, hydro pool, sauna and steam room. They even offer pregnancy and hot-stone massages, plus mindfulness retreats. How relaxing.
But the hotel hasn’t just won some accolades for its spa – it’s also won the AA 4 Red Star Award: Inspector’s Choice, the AA Breakfast Award, and the 2-Rosette Award for culinary excellence.
Any keen celeb spotters might already be familiar with Rookery Hall. It is, after all, where Posh and Becks got engaged way back ‘98.
