Inside the plush new spa opening in the Cheshire countryside

A plush new spa is opening in the Cheshire countryside next month.

Luxury spa brand Champneys is launching its first northern outpost at Mottram Hall in September.

The hotel has undergone a £15m transformation with £10m spent on the 33,000 sq ft spa facilities alone.

They include a 20m swimming pool with poolside cabanas, as well as DaleSauna brechel and organic saunas, salt steam room, ice fountain, monsoon and drench showers, and a cold room.

Fitness fans can also make the most of a new gym kitted out with Technogym equipment, plus a spin studio.

For those who prefer pampering, a range of relaxing Champneys treatments will be available, alongside Clarins and Elemis experiences.

Alongside the 15 treatment rooms will be a beauty lounge, offering manicures, pedicures and make-up, as well as the UK's first Champneys barber shop.

The spa will also boast a new restaurant and cafe, serving nutritious meals and snacks.

Designed by leading architects Darling Associates and award-winning interior designer Beverley Bayes, of Sparc Studios, the hotel's transformation has also included a revamp of the reception, champagne bar and garden room.

Champneys took over the grade II* listed, 18th century mansion in 2018. The resort also features a golf course, formal gardens and 270 acres of parkland.

Mottram Hall (Lee Brown)

The original Mottram estate dates back to 1310, but the hall itself was built in 1721. It was converted to a hotel in 1940.

The spa will be open to both day and overnight guests and bookings are being taken now, starting from £79 per person including lunch.
