Catherine enjoyed delicious meals
From luxurious rooms to delicious food and blissfully relaxing treatments, every detail has been carefully curated to leave you feeling rejuvenated and recharged.
From the moment my friend Jen and I checked in, the stresses of the working week began to melt away.
Our junior suite was absolutely stunning, with every luxurious detail thoughtfully catered for. The separate living area was perfect for unwinding with a glass of something, while the generous bedroom featured a huge, ultra-comfy bed and a gorgeous bathroom stocked with indulgent White Company toiletries.
Wasting no time, we slipped into our robes and slippers and made our way down to the pool and spa, ready to fully embrace the relaxation that awaited us.
The area was every bit as stylish and modern as the rest of the hotel, featuring a pristine pool, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, and a fabulous outdoor hot tub.
With plenty of loungers and seating both indoors and out, there was ample space to stretch out and unwind in the calming environment.
As the late spring sun bathed the space in warmth, we made a beeline for the hot tub, sinking into its soothing bubbles and letting the tranquillity wash over us.
Time seemed to fly by as we chatted away, putting the world to rights, and before we knew it, it was time to head back to our room and get ready for dinner in the hotel's restaurant. We were especially excited about this, having heard wonderful things about the Rosette-winning menu from The Curious Kitchen — and I can say, hand on heart, it did not disappoint.
We began by sharing the bread platter and tempura prawns, which were crispy, juicy, and sublimely succulent.
For the main course, I opted for the Sri Lankan chicken curry, served with fluffy rice, homemade flatbread, chutney, and pickles. It was so aromatic and delicious that I could have licked the bowl clean!

Jen chose the creamy carbonara, which she described as rich and utterly satisfying.
Although we were stuffed, dessert is always a must, so we shared the irresistible ice cream sundae. It was indulgent, delightful, and the perfect way to end a truly wonderful meal.
The next morning, our wellness journey continued in the most delightful way.
After a healthy yet hearty breakfast of poached eggs and avocado, we made our way to the spa for the Ultimate Glow treatment — 80 minutes of pure bliss.
The experience began with a soothing foot rub, followed by a back exfoliation and massage, a rejuvenating facial, and culminated in a heavenly head and scalp massage.
I was absolutely floating on air afterwards and took full advantage of the relaxation room. With cosy beds, soft throws, plump pillows, calming music, and a selection of herbal teas and flavoured water to keep us hydrated, it was the perfect space to unwind and let the serenity of the morning settle in.
We spent a second lovely evening exploring nearby Knutsford, with its vibrant atmosphere and fantastic selection of bars and restaurants before another night of sleep bliss.

The hotel was the perfect destination for catching up with my friend, relaxing in beautiful surroundings, and indulging in gorgeous food and even better treatments.
So good was it, in fact, we've already made plans for a return visit.
Now just to get those pesky working weeks out of the way!
