OK!'s Josie Copson visited luxury countryside spa retreat The Manor House in Cheshire's Alsager for a winter break, which is home to the UK's first swim-up bar
If paddling around a heated pool, and then taking a trip to the bar to purchase liquid refreshment without leaving the warm water is your idea of heaven, then I’ve got some good news for you - the UK now has its first ever swim-up bar.
I had to visit myself to find out if it's worth a trip and it may be the end of January when I make my way to the spa, but at the East Cheshire countryside retreat it feels like summer. Hours pass away easily in the outdoor pool as I gossip with my sister Abbi who has joined me, and assist my new pool friends in capturing their Instagram content. With a glass of prosecco priced at £6.50, and cocktails coming in at a fairly reasonable £9.50, there is no real need to move. The trip isn’t going to break your bank either - prices for a spa day start from £69.
We consider it for about 15 seconds, before swiftly moving onto the summer house. I make myself very comfortable on a lounger, listen to meditation music and watch the cows meander around the field in the distance. The amount of facilities and number of guests mean I’m often alone, so there is no need to be embarrassed if I start snoring during a nap.
