Built in 1816, Rookery Hall Hotel and Spa in Cheshire takes luxury to a whole new level. From the moment you enter this wonderful hotel you will feel the weight taken off your shoulders. Here’s just a few things we love about it…
The main building around which the hotel is set is undeniably beautiful. The spa has been constructed entirely differently but just as charmingly. The renovated stable block, which once owned the family’s hunt horses, has been sympathetically converted to a modern luxury spa in Cheshire, which is contemporary on the inside and cocoons you in a sense of tranquility.
A luxury romantic spa hotel
The architecture and the style of the whole destination is superbly romantic. Whether you want to spend a Cheshire spa day having treatments and afternoon tea or strolling in the grounds and staying overnight on a luxury Cheshire hotel spa break, it’s a place where you can feel special and really connect. After all, it’s where David Beckham proposed to Victoria.
The Cheshire spa hotel is set in 38 acres of gardens and wooded parkland, fringing the banks of the River Weaver, guarantees a complete tranquil atmosphere. It’s beautiful.
Its history as a family home
Because it was once a private home it still has little hints of times gone by, if only you know where to look. For example, underneath the willow tree in the garden there are little gravestones where the former family pets now rest. A little macabre perhaps, but a genuine sign of the care and love that has poured into this place.
The attention to detail that makes all the difference
The attention to detail really makes you feel looked after at this luxury hotel and spa in Cheshire. For example, after you have a spa treatment they give you a little portion of lemon sorbet to relax with to make you feel nice and chilled out.
The highly trained therapists
In addition to generally offering beautiful treatments, spa therapists at Rookery Hall are trained by Made for Life Organics in Cancer Touch Therapies. These are safe and supportive wellness therapies for guests who have or are recovering from cancer, using carefully designed techniques as well as safe, natural products.
