Thornton Hall Hotel and Spa has to be one of the number spa destinations in the UK. So if you’re looking for some pampering? Stop your search. The hotel’s nestled between Liverpool and Chester – around half an hour’s drive from both. But you won’t want to leave the hotel, thanks to its award-winning spa and first-rate dining options.

The pool in the spa sets the bar high – it’s inspired by Roman baths with its gold columns and tiled walls. There’s a hot tub, sauna and steam room, as well as a load of unique facilities that you won’t find in many hotel spas. We’re talking a snow room, a Himalayan salt wall, an infrared wall, and an experience shower with tropical rain, monsoon and cold waterfall settings. Outside, there’s a barrel sauna with scenic countryside views and a couple of hot tubs, surrounded by loungers.

For food, you’ve got the Lawns Grill for stuff like caviar, oysters and grilled meats. The Lounge for more relaxed fare, with sandwiches, sharing platters and mains, plus a cocktail happy hour. It lines up a terrace for al fresco wining and dining. And, finally, The Brasserie, in the health club, for brunch or tapas bites after a gym workout or spa treatment. The facilities list is rounded off with a gym, hair salon, make-up studio, nail bar and meeting rooms.
