CheshireLive reporter Claire Spreadbury goes in search of rest and relaxation, but discovers a party vibe in a newly-refurbished Cheshire hotel, here she tells all...
It’s February. The sun is beating down on my shoulders as I slide through the water to the swim-up bar and order a glass of Prosecco. Strangers are becoming friends as they chat in the pool, drinking cocktails as music blares out of the speakers.
The new English Spa Garden was phase two of the overhaul, containing an array of wellness delights – both hot and cold – and the cherry on the cake is the Pool House, complete with the UK’s first swim-up bar, as well as an indoor space to eat, drink, chill and recharge, serving afternoon tea and nibbling platters .
After eyeing up the tin bath tub, filled with freezing cold water, I decide it’s time to give it go, convincing myself of the wellbeing benefits cold water therapy is supposed to offer. I hop in quickly, standing up to my knees in cold water and attempt to lower myself in, before the searing pain in my feet becomes too much and I have to jump out and run into the steam room to warm up, vowing to return again later.
But it’s not long before I stop caring, as drizzles of oil are followed by a crunchy body scrub, which is worked blissfully into every sinew, melting my tight, stressed muscles – all part of my Tribe517 salt grain massage . I’ve had lots of exfoliation treatments before and not one has left me feeling on cloud nine. But this treatment is a massage, it just uses body scrub to slough away dead skin, pep up my circulation and invigorate my senses.
