Aldwark Manor Spa

Old meets new at Aldwark Manor Spa in deepest Yorkshire, near historic Harrogate and York

The Aldwark Manor Golf and Spa Hotel is surrounded by a hundred acres of gorgeous parkland, within striking distance of both York and Harrogate. It combines the existing décor of the historic manor house with a striking modern interior.

The spa comprises seven treatment rooms, three pedicure and manicure stations, and a couple of dual treatment areas, where you can natter with a friend or your partner as you enjoy being pampered.

There’s also a steam room, jacuzzi, sauna, relaxation room and swimming pool, though that’s only 14m long so may feel a bit crowded, especially as there are designated “children’s splash times”.

A dedicated spa lounge serves drinks, snacks and hot meals where you can enjoy a cheeky glass of wine, and there’s also an award-winning restaurant on site.

Aldwark Manor Spa is open seven days a week, with a good variety of spa packages including ones for the guys and deals including afternoon tea. You’ll find the usual selection of treatments including facials, manicures and pedicures, body wraps and waxing and tanning options.

The range of massages on offer is also pretty good, encompassing deep massage, hot stone and Swedish body treatments.

• TREAT YOURSELF:  to a rebalancing ritual, which combines a facial tailored to your skin’s needs and a deep foot massage with foot and lower leg exfoliation to restore peace of mind and equilibrium, not to mention immediate relief for knackered feet. An Aldwark Manor Spa signature treatment!

• PERFECT FOR:  Combining a super-relaxing spa break with a visit to the sights and history of dramatic York, or a stroll around genteel Harrogate, for a perfect, varied break.
