Manor House's New Luxury Spa Features UK's First Swim-Up Spa Bar

Following a 12-month redevelopment, the Manor House, an independent family-owned hotel in Alsager, East Cheshire, has announced the completion of its new luxury indoor spa and outdoor spa garden which boasts an array of unique experiences, with an English country garden theme. The final addition of the elegant new Pool House marks the completion and official opening of Cheshire's new luxury spa, featuring the UK's first Swim Up Spa Bar.

The dual-aspect Pool House has a contemporary indoor luxe feel for spa guests to lounge and enjoy delicious nibbles and afternoon tea along with a delicious new menu. The bar, which can be accessed indoors as well as from the large outdoor heated vitality pool, is stocked with fine wines and beers, locally sourced spirits and delicious cocktails. The indoor underfloor heating, coupled with the log burning stove, makes this a cosy retreat all year round.

Designed by interiors specialist, Steve Gibson Design Ltd, the orangery style Pool House brings the outdoors in, with large skylights and expansive sliding doors which flood the Pool House with lots of natural light. During the warmer months, the windows can be fully opened creating an airy summer beach house environment.

The Pool House is adjoined to the large outdoor heated Vitality Pool enhanced by the breath-taking views of the 2,000 sqm English Country Spa Garden, which features the Table Top Hydrotherapy Tub set in a formal sunken garden, and a number of experiences housed in stunning garden buildings, including The Salt Steam Inhalation Chamber, Potting Shed Herbal Sauna, icy cool plunge bath and shower experience.

The English country garden-inspired spa also has plenty of quiet areas to sit and contemplate, such as the Panoramic Laconium with swing seats that overlook the fields beyond, and the Summer House where guests can find the Light Relaxation Lounge and Patio. The Spa is also the first in the UK to install outdoor underfloor heating as well as provide individual heating in each hanging bed, making it a year-round retreat.

Earlier in the year, the spa completed its indoor spa refurbishment which houses luxurious changing facilities stocked with the finest spa toiletries. The changing rooms lead to the large serenity pool, surrounded by loungers and an Instagram-able hanging day bed. Complete with a poolside indoor Finnish sauna, and aromatherapy steam room. 

There is also the unique Salt Shed Experience, a chamber infused with salt and essential oils, to benefit the respiratory system, skin and mind, with the option of guided meditation. In addition, there are three new treatment rooms, providing a menu of rejuvenating, decadent body and face treatments from British Spa brands Tribe517 and Temple Spa. Complimented by a cosy relaxation lounge where spa guests can cosy up before or after their luxury treatment. 

Jess Mellors the General Manager at Manor House Alsager says “We are delighted to announce the completion of the final phase of our spa redevelopment, with the Pool House and swim-up bar now officially open.
