If you're looking to escape on a spa break in the north west of England, there are a range of spa packages and spa days across Lancashire, Merseyside, Manchester, Cheshire and Cumbria worth looking at.

Cheshire is incredibly popular for spa break, with options including Rowton Hall Country House, Crewe Hall Hotel & Spa and the beautiful Thornton Hall. Each has its own unique experience to try out, but with so many packages, from day spas to 2 night dinner, bed and breakfast deals, there's plenty to choose from.
Lancashire has some great resorts like the Formby Hall Golf Resort and Spa, perfect for a golf and spa break, or the award-winning and boutique Stanley House Hotel & Spa in Mellor. Sip on a glass of fizz, and enjoy a sumptuous afternoon tea, before enjoying the thermal suite or a treatment or two, to trying escape and unwind.
One of the biggest attractions for Cumbria is the picturesque countryside, so it's only right to combine a short break with a spa, and a little bit of hiking or other outdoor activities in the Lake District. Appleby Manor Hotel & Garden Spa and the North Lakes Hotel and Spa in Penrith, offer exceptional stays amongst the gorgeous scenery around the county. It's here that you'll also find Center Parcs Whinfell Forest for a woodland break with various activities and adventures to enjoy.
We love Liverpool for a night out, lots of shopping and plenty to see and do, so why not combine it with a little relaxtion and book into a hotel which offers treatments? The Titanic Hotel is a popular stay, although the spa is a little small, on the other hand, the Hope Street Hotel Spa was voted the best city spa and is a very popular option for visitors to the city.
Manchester makes for an ideal spa and city break destination, giving you the option to combine an overnight stay and spa treatment, with anything from shopping or a night out, to watching a football match or going skiing over at the Trafford Centre. You'll find a number of hotels offer a spa option, but it's worth checking what the facilities are like, as they aren't all to the same standard.
Whether you're treating a special someone, or simply want to splash out and make the most of a break, you'll find plenty of luxury spa break options in the North West. Hotels like the 5-star Carden Park Hotel which sits in 1,000 acres of countryside are the ideal luxurious escape, with sumptuous beds, delicious breakfast and a range of treatments to enjoy.
If you're short on time, or on a budget, a spa day can provide just enough rest and relaxation to recouperate your energy and be back ready to face the world again. Spa treatments can range from manicures and pedicures, to full body massages and body wraps. Most spa hotels will offer a spa day option, and if you stay in the north west of England, you don't have to go far to feel like a proper escape. Budget friendly options include Bannatyne gym and spas, which are spread across places like Blackpool, Carlisle and Manchester.
Spa breaks for 2 people, whether a couple or friends can be a great way to spend time together, relax and enjoy each others' company. Most deals are based on two people sharing either a twin room or double room, with at least one treatment often included. Why not treat your special someone to a gift voucher so they can help pick the right break for you?
While many spa hotels have dedicated children's times or hours of the day, it is always nice to know that the peace and tranquility won't be broken by kids because you didn't realise when children's hour was. That's why adults only options can be ideal for a couples retreat. For example, Carden Park is a gorgeous, adult only spa hotel in Cheshire with both an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, couples treatment rooms, as well as a pretty spa garden which is perfect to relax in on a sunny day.
