If you’re focussing on your wellbeing in 2024, make sure you embrace the nicer side of looking after yourself alongside the less appealing parts. (Pre-work runs in the dark for example, or zero-fat cottage cheese.)
A countryside spa break is one of the most enjoyable healthy activities – a time to breathe in fresh air and open views, eat nourishing food, and let your thoughts unfurl while the bubbles in the hot tub gently tickle your toes.
In the North West, we have some fantastic spa hotels to choose from, including national and international award-winners. Here are six of the best for helping you feel relaxed and renewed.
