Hotel Tricks

One very important suggestion would be to prearrange a period wherein one is to enjoy lavish spa and leisure spots within the property. The indoor heated pool, 18 meters long, together with the Jacuzzi, sauna, and steam rooms forms an excellent relaxation package. Another clever move is using the facilities before you check in and after you check out; usually, the hotel will do this for you. This is a nice way of stretching your relaxing break and getting the very most out of the best amenities at a hotel.

Maximize the hotel’s tranquil setting as a springboard for travel and dive into the whole region from a strategic location. You’re just a 10-minute drive from the historic Chester. A neat little hack is to use the “Park and Ride” service from the nearby Upton park-and-ride site. This gets you right into the heart of the walled city to see the Roman amphitheater, the ‘Rows’ shopping galleries, and walk the city walls – all without the stress and expense of city center parking.

For a great day out, the famous Chester Zoo is under a 10-minute drive from the hotel, and there’s the expansive Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet village just 15 minutes away. If you book directly with the hotel, make it a point always to check if they’ve got any ‘stay and dine’ or special spa break deals going on; it could save you a bundle over booking everything separately.

Last but not least, you can reserve a table for traditional afternoon tea at the hotel for your trip to really round out that British country house experience. This joint specifically of sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, and yummy cakes in the fine lounge or on the garden terrace is very typical of being in a British country house. This alone is a great indulgence and a most effective way of ‘’letting one’s hair down’’ in the atmospheric sense of the history of the manor.
