Because You're Overdue for a Proper Night Out Together

When was the last time you actually got everyone together,  properly together, not just a group chat that never goes anywhere?

This is your sign. Book it. The Manor House Date Night Escape works just as brilliantly for a friends' night away as it does for couples, and honestly? Sometimes it's even better.

Available Thursday and Friday nights, subject to availability — so if you've got a date in mind, it's worth getting in early.

Cheshire's Best Excuse to Finally Get the Gang Together

We're based in Alsager, Cheshire, just off Junction 16 of the M6, and a straightforward train trip from Manchester and beyond. No complicated logistics, no long drives. Everyone can get here, and that's half the battle with a group.

Suggest the date. Send the link. Done.

What's Included: And It's a Lot

Every room comes with:

• Overnight accommodation
• Three-course dinner in The Stables (supplements may apply on selected dishes)
• A bottle of house wine per room
• Full English breakfast the next morning
• Full Spa Garden & thermal access:
  • Day of arrival: 12:00 pm – 7:00 pm
  • Day of departure: 9:00 am – 11:00 am

Better still, you can arrive from midday and head straight to The Stables for lunch before your spa time even begins. Turn a night away into a full day out together.

The Spa Garden: Where the Day Actually Happens

Let's be honest , the pool is where you'll spend most of your time, and we're absolutely fine with that.

Our outdoor thermal pools are stunning, the swim-up bar keeps the drinks flowing, and this July and August Saturdays we've got a chilled DJ playing poolside at the main pool — the kind of laid-back summer soundtrack that makes an afternoon feel like a mini holiday abroad.

Not everyone wants the music. Our Secret Garden Pool stays calm and DJ-free all summer. Quiet corner for some, party pool for others — split the group however you like.

Dinner in The Stables: The Bit Everyone Looks Forward To

Get everyone around the table, order the wine, and settle in. Our three-course dinner in The Stables is the kind of meal that stretches out naturally — great food, great company, no rush.

It's the highlight of the evening every time.

The Morning After

Nobody's rushing off. A full English breakfast sets everyone up, and you've got spa access right through until 11am — so there's still time for a final dip before the real world creeps back in.

Stop Waiting for Everyone to Agree on a Date

We all know how group plans go. Someone suggests it, everyone loves the idea, the group chat goes quiet, and three months pass.

Be the one who actually books it.

The Date Night Escape is available on Thursday and Friday nights only, subject to availability — so the sooner you nail down a date, the better. Can't make a Thursday or Friday work? We have a range of other offers throughout the week, including our Monday Escape Spa Day or if you want to book a Saturday in July and August to hear our DJ, book our Dinner Bed and Breakfast  — there's nearly always a great reason to visit.
