Macdonald Craxton Wood Hotel and Spa
Macdonald Craxton Wood Hotel and Spa
Take a leisurely swim in the pool before unwinding fully in the thermal suite which includes an aroma steam room, rock sauna, ice shower and the opportunity to experience Rasul mud therapy, or simply indulge with a luxurious ELEMIS or ishga treatment. All room types include en-suite bathrooms with luxury toiletries for the perfect pampering, so you can savour a soak in the tub before climbing into bed with a film on the TV as part of a tranquil getaway.
The combination of a peaceful location and excellent accessibility makes Craxton Wood Hotel & Spa the ideal location for weddings or meeting and events in Chester, with first-class spa and leisure facilities putting the hotel on the map as one of the most popular destinations in the area - with Manchester under an hours drive, Liverpool 40 minutes and historic Chester just 15 minutes by car. The self-contained conference and event centre offers a choice of versatile meeting spaces ideal for anything from a board-level strategy meeting to a new product launch. Plus, tailored team building sessions, including indoor and outdoor activities and evening entertainment, and themed conferences or events.
The dedicated wedding team is on hand to make sure everything is meticulously planned, ahead of your big day, with a range of function rooms filled with natural light and woodland-fringed gardens providing the perfect backdrop to a memorable occasion. Admire views over the beautiful grounds when you dine at the Craxton Wood Grill, where classic British dishes are created with a contemporary twist using seasonal ingredients.
The Vital Coffee Bar provides the perfect pit-stop after your visit to the spa or a well-earned reward following a session in the gym. Start your evening in the Cocktail Bar and Lounge with a delicious pre-dinner cocktail on the outdoor terrace or drop in for a nightcap before retiring for a peaceful night's sleep.
Whether you're enjoying a leisurely lunch or a late-night snack from the room service menu, expect everything you order to be fresh and delicious. With the Roman-inspired city of Chester and the Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet just minutes away, and The Wirral, available in the other direction, for trips to the seaside - there's plenty of things to do during your stay at Craxton Wood Hotel & Spa.
