Default Looking for luxury hotel in Staffs, Cheshire, Shrops, Worcs ?

As above I'm looking for a really nice hotel to treat the missus with swimming pool, saunas etc. Money not really an issue just want somewhere nice.

Problem is I need it for this weekend (left things a little late)

Can anyone recommend somewhere?

Thanks in advance

Are you looking for a country break? Or a City break?

I thought you wanted luxury?

moathouse is hardley the first place that springs to mind?

I have been here on several occasions, and the place is fantastic.

...and I thought he wanted Staffs/Cheshire/Shrops/Worcs! Basingstoke, for all its beauty, does not qualify!!

For Shropshire, try somewhere around Ludlow, lovely countryside, nice market town, v.relaxing. If you're feeling flush, get booked into Hisbiscus - recently voted best restaurant in the UK, 2 Michelin Stars, and absolutely superb!

If you stretch your search area a little, you could try www.ragdalehall.co.uk which is in Leicestershire.

Cheers.

Not in the area , but not *too* far is Seaham Hall

http://www.seaham-hall.com

That place is the real deal, believe me

You want to treat her . Go there.

Still not Staffordshire:

From this home page, you can visit Ashdown Park Hotel in the heart of the Ashdown Forest , East Sussex, The Grand Hotel on the coast at Eastbourne, Sussex, and Tylney Hall in the rich country lanes of Hampshire.


The Moathouse linked too looks very nice for me - sure you're not confusing it with the one at Festival Park?

I've stayed at the Crabwall Manor nr Chester for a wedding. Our room (and the others I went in) were superb.

The only one I could think of (due to my travel-lodge budget) is the one suggested by Daz34...

Oooo... Hoar Cross Hall.

Take GPS

Middle of bloody nowhere, but absolutely stunning. You're not too far from Alton Towers... hint, hint.

Bought my (ex) GF a spa treatment at Hoar Cross Hall. She was totally amazed and loved the place.

Wasn't cheap mind ~ but highly recommended.

New hall on the border of Sutton Coldfield is supurb..Think its the only remaining Moat house hotel in the UK...And i mean a real mouthouse...not the chain!!!..ha ha..
Its all 4 poster beds and antiques..

Arden Cote Manor is good too..excellent spa and leisure facilities and a fantastic golf course.

Stopped in them both so its a personal reccommendation
