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.
