The hotel and spa that opened just three years ago made its mark by creating the UK's very first swim-up bar.
The bright and airy on-site swimming pool sits at 38C, so it's always welcoming for a dip, even in the cooler evenings.
The poolside bar means that you don't even need to get out of the water for a refreshing drink.
There are lots of to choose from too from cocktails, to wine, fizz and hot drinks on the menu to select from.
And to make it even better, starting in July, the hotel will be hosting exclusive DJ sessions.
The DJ will set up in the 'secret' spa garden every Saturday from 5 July to 30 August between 2pm and 7pm to bring a relaxing vibe.
You'll feel less like you're in the north of England, and more like being in Ibiza.
Also on offer is the 'Ultimate Weekend Spa Day Package' which go hand-in-hand with the DJ sessions.
You don't have to book a hotel stay to get the package which includes 9-hour spa access (10am-7pm).
Also included is a 60-minute treatment, dining options, premium robe and towel service and access to all the spa facilities - from £219 per person.

One Sun Travel Writer tried out the UK's first swim-up bar and said it was "just like being on holiday."
Catherine Lofthouse said: "The heated outdoor pool, home to the swim-up bar, also had gorgeous views of the greenery, putting paid to any idea that you might be anywhere other than in the heart of the English countryside.
"Heading indoors, we enjoyed an hour-long sound asleep massage, which was billed as having your body gently realigned and perfectly put back together again with warm orange and fennel oil."
She added: "The swim-up bar spa is a wonderful way to while away a day in the UK if a trip to sunny shores is not on the cards."
Other facilities at the hotel include Himalayan salt shed, a Finnish sauna, a salt steam chamber, an aromatherapy steam room and a panoramic laconium.
The potting shed herb sauna is infused with lavender for a very calming and relaxing experience.

There are also cold water plunge baths and in the ' secret garden ' is a herb garden, greenhouses and private hot tubs.
If you want to stay at the Manor House Hotel & Spa, it has 52 country-style bedrooms to choose from and a rustic bar and restaurant called The Stables.
The Pool House is close to the spa facilities and is the perfect option for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea.
Plus, the Ibiza 'paradise' with private pool and glamping huts has stays under £95.
And right here in the UK are four of Sun Travel team's favourite hotels.

Yes, chinos are cooler than you think — here's how to wear them
Here's a sentence I never thought I would write. Chinos are cool. So cool that we can't even call them cool. Because the word cool isn't actually cool any more. I know. All of the above is confusing. Especially for someone like me, who has made avoiding chinos — not just the wearing of them myself, but any romantic involvement with a man wearing them — a plank of my very existence. That's right, while Richard Dawkins has busied himself over the decades taking down religion, my focus has been on disavowing a certain type of trouser. It's probably beige or khaki, probably cotton twill, probably worn with a rugby shirt (crime number two), and absolutely not probably — 100 per cent definitely, in fact — an offence against style.

Noel Gallagher: I'm proud of my brother - he's been amazing
Noel Gallagher has said he is "proud" of his brother Liam after the pair reunited for this summer's Oasis Live '25 tour. The highly anticipated reunion was announced in August last year, after the brothers seemingly put the feud which led to their split in 2009 behind them. At the time, Noel said he "simply could not go on working with Liam", but having just completed the UK-leg of their comeback tour, he has nothing but praise for his younger sibling. "Liam's smashing it. I'm proud of him," Noel told talkSport in his first interview since the tour began. "I couldn't do the stadium thing like he does it, it's not in my nature. But I've got to say, I kind of look and I think 'good for you, mate'. He's been amazing. "It's great just to be back with Bonehead [Paul Arthurs] and Liam and just be doing it again." 1:11 When asked if he has felt emotional during the tour, Noel added: "I guess when it's all said and done we will sit and reflect on it, but it's great being back in the band with Liam, I forgot how funny he was." He went on to say he was "completely blown away" after the band's opening night in Cardiff, and "grossly underestimated" what he was getting himself into when first signing up for the shows. He said: "It was kind of after about five minutes, I was like, 'all right, can I just go back to the dressing room and start this again?' "I've done stadiums before and all that, but I don't mind telling you, my legs had turned to jelly after about halfway through the second song." "Every night is the crowd's first night, you know what I mean?" he continued. "So every night's got that kind of same energy to it, but it's been truly amazing. I'm not usually short for words, but I can't really articulate it." Having played to packed crowds in Cardiff, London, Manchester, Dublin and Edinburgh, Oasis have scheduled dates around the world including in major cities across the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Japan. It's rumoured the band will continue their run of shows next year, when it marks 30 years since they played two sell-out nights at Knebworth Park to an estimated 250,000 people. When quizzed on the rumours on talkSport, Noel quickly changed the subject, saying: "Right, let's talk about football."

Noel Gallagher opens up about his brother Liam on Oasis reunion tour: ‘He's been amazing'
Noel Gallagher has opened up about his feelings towards his long-estranged brother Liam during Oasis' sold-out global reunion tour for the first time, saying: 'He's been amazing … it's great being back in the band with Liam.' Oasis announced they would be reuniting in August 2024, 15 years after their split in 2009 when Noel quit the band after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris, saying he 'simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer'. The brothers continued to trade barbs for years and rejected any suggestion they would bury the hatchet, making their reunion a pleasant surprise for their fans. At their first show in Cardiff, the crowd responded with whistles and applause when the brothers briefly embraced at the end of the gig. Speaking to TalkSport's Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent on Tuesday, Noel Gallagher said he had been 'completely blown away' by the tour so far. 'Liam's smashing it. I'm proud of him,' he said. 'I couldn't do the stadium thing like he does it, it's not in my nature. But I've got to say, I kind of look and I think, 'Good for you mate.' He's been amazing. 'It's great just to be back with Bonehead [Paul Arthurs] and Liam and just be doing it again,' he continued. 'I guess when it's all said and done we will sit and reflect on it, but it's great being back in the band with Liam, I forgot how funny he was.' Noel said he was taken aback by the fan response at their first show in Cardiff in July. 'I can't speak for anyone else, but for me personally, I grossly underestimated what I was getting into. It was kind of after about five minutes, I was like, all right, can I just go back to the dressing room and start this again?' he said. 'I've done stadiums before and all that, but I don't mind telling you, my legs had turned to jelly after about halfway through the second song. It's been an amazing thing. Really is an amazing thing. It's difficult to put into words, actually. 'Every night is the crowd's first night, you know what I mean? So every night's got that kind of same energy to it, but it's been truly amazing. I'm not usually short for words, but I can't really articulate it.' Oasis has already played 17 dates across the UK and Ireland, and are continuing their away around the world with performances to come in the US, Canada, Australia, Japan and South America. The Oasis Live '25 tour is due to end in November in Brazil.
