First-class spa facilities in Alsager, East Cheshire
Spa
facilities
The Spa at the Manor House spans indoor and outdoor spaces across four connected areas: the indoor spa, the English Spa Garden, the Secret Garden and The Courtyard. Whether you're working your way through the full thermal circuit or settling in for a long afternoon by the pool, there's room here to do it your way.
English spa garden
The English Spa Garden is the heart of the outdoor spa experience and it's open all year. It connects the pool house, the hanging daybeds, the herb garden and a series of thermal garden spaces in one easy outdoor circuit. It works just as well in winter as it does in summer — probably better, in fact.
Pool House & swim-up bar
The pool house wraps the main outdoor pool with veranda seating and direct water access. The swim-up bar serves cocktails, soft drinks and light bites throughout spa hours. A genuinely good place to be on a Tuesday afternoon or any day
Vitality pool
Heated to 38°C, the vitality pool is one of those things that sounds simple but feels genuinely good. The hydrotherapy jets are positioned where they're actually useful — across the back and shoulders — and the temperature is warm enough that you'll want to stay a while. Year-round access means it works just as well in January as it does in July.
Hydrotherapy tub
A sunken table-top tub at 36°C, tucked amongst beds of lavender and rosemary. The planting is fragrant enough to notice without being overwhelming, and the central table is perfectly sized for a cocktail you're not in any hurry to put down.
The Pavilion
The gentlest of the heat spaces at 30–35°C, designed for longer stays than a traditional sauna. The lower temperature means warmth builds slowly and steadily — most guests find themselves here for 20–30 minutes without really noticing. Heated loungers and garden views complete the picture.
Summer House
With wide-reaching views of the stunning Cheshire countryside, this lounge is your go-to for peaceful moments. Sink into a cosy armchair with a good book, or step onto the patio to soak up the fresh air, and watch the day drift by.
Salt steam chamber
Tucked away in the garden and heated to a tropical 45-50°C, this salt-infused sanctuary is all about deep relaxation with a side of wellness. Inhale the salty air (hello, halotherapy) and give your respiratory system and skin a little love. At the heart of it all? A glowing quartz centrepiece, boosting your chi and bringing balance to your day.
Potting Shed
Breathe in and let the herbal magic do its thing. Heated to a soothing 65-70°C and infused with calming lavender, our herbal sauna is the perfect place to reset. The theatre-style seating means you’ll get front-row views of the lush herbal planters while the warmth melts away tension. Stay for 5-10 minutes and leave feeling totally revived.
Plunge bath
Brace yourself – this one’s a game-changer. Take the plunge into the fresh water bath or go all-in with an icy bucket shower for an instant wake-up call. It’s the ultimate refresh, boosting circulation, easing muscle tightness, and leaving you feeling alive. Pro tip: use it between heat experiences to kickstart recovery.
Indoor serenity pool
Slip into pure serenity. This pool is all about slow, soothing soaks in a perfectly warm embrace. Stretch out tired muscles and let the calm take over, this is your moment of uninterrupted bliss.
Hotel gym
Whether you’re here to lift, run, or just get a good stretch in, our hotel gym has everything you need to keep your fitness routine feeling fresh – even on your most relaxing getaway. No pressure, just you, your goals, and a space designed to keep you moving.
Secret Garden
The Secret Garden is all about giving you a mix of chill vibes and moments to recharge. Take a dip in the water therapies, detox in the traditional Finnish sauna, or just kick back in one of our laid-back relaxation spots. It’s all here.
The Bothy Bar
We’re not stopping at one. We have two swim-up bars now! Because why settle for just one when you can have double the fun?
Hydrotherapy pool
Let the strategically placed jets work their magic, massaging your muscles and getting your circulation flowing. Kick back on the built-in seating and soak up all the relaxing benefits, at your own pace. No rush, just pure bliss.
Cold water plunge
Ready for a refreshing shock to your system? Our cold-water plunge is the perfect way to cool down after all that warmth. The cascading waterfall is as stunning as it is invigorating, cranking up the chill factor. Plus, it’s just the right size for a group – so you can enjoy the wellness boost together.
Hot house
Get the authentic sauna experience with a twist. The Himalayan salt wall adds a whole new level of relaxation, while reclaimed brick walls bring the charm. Perfect for detoxing, improving circulation, and melting away stress with that deep, Finnish-style heat. At 80°C (176°F), it’s the kind of warmth you’ll never want to leave.
Greenhouse lounges
Toasty all year round, thanks to underfloor heating. With glass ceilings letting in all that glorious natural light, it’s the perfect spot to kick back and relax. Settle in with a good book, sip on a cup of tea, and enjoy the cosy vibes in this peaceful hideaway.
Herb garden
Relax to the calming sounds of our water feature, surrounded by raised beds brimming with hand-picked herbs and flowers. Not only do they look gorgeous and smell amazing, but they also offer a delightful tactile experience. Immerse yourself in the scents, textures, and beauty that make this garden a true sensory escape. It’s the perfect place to reconnect with nature and let all your senses unwind.
The Courtyard
A new outdoor space at the Spa at the Manor House, opening June 2026. The Courtyard is built around a magnesium-enriched pool and a set of swinging daybeds — a quiet addition to the garden for soaking, swaying and not very much else.
