Champneys Mottram Hall Hotel

Make sure you bring your trainers, because Champneys has everything you need to break a sweat in style. Spa days to Mottram Hall Hotel include complimentary access to the swanky Technogym, plus aqua classes, on-screen classes (virtual barre, anyone?) and guided walks around the grounds.

But it might be worth paying the additional charge and taking part in one of their outstanding fitness classes. Champneys at Mottram Hall has over 40 classes per week including classic favourites like yoga, Pilates, Body Pump, spinning and Zumba. But why not make this the time you try something new, like Clubbercise or Kettlebells?

For real results (and to really work your butt off!) you can book a fun, personalised, one-to-one workout. A great way to kick start a new healthy lifestyle or to work on your specific requirements, training sessions are tailored to your needs.

The hardest part of any visit to Mottram Hall Hotel? Deciding which one of its superb eating and drinking options you’re going to savour during your stay. Newly refurbished, no expense has been spared in service or style. Wherever you choose to dine, you know you’re in for a gourmet treat. 

Here on a spa package that includes healthy snacks and a nutritious lunch? You’ll eat at the spa restaurant Raffaela’s in the comfort of your snuggly robe. But with so much on offer, you may just decide to de-robe, glam up and linger long into the evening, too. Just remember to book in advance!

Raffaella’s spa restaurant

With an ethos based on the philosophy that food, wellness and beauty are inextricably intertwined, wholesome lunches are the order of the day in the spa restaurant, which also features panoramic views of the hotel grounds. The décor is every bit as scrumptious (and beautifully presented) as the food. So pull up a chair or sit in a booth and pick from a mouth-watering menu of yummy fare and perhaps the odd glass of bubbles - well, being healthy is all about balance!

Carrington Grill 

Anyone for tender ragu beef, or a delectable pan-fried sea bream? It’s worth getting glammed up in your finest smart/casual attire to enjoy some AA-Rosette dining at the classy restaurant in the heart of the hotel. ​​The AA called it “modern country-house dining at its best” and it’s easy to see why. Seasonal menus focus on traditional English dishes tempered with a modern European twist. 

Barneys

After a round of golf, there’s nowhere finer than Barneys for a drink and a spot of gastropub fare. With a wide selection of tipples and views of the fairways, it’s the perfect spot to kick back with a burger at the bar, and watch the football on the screens. Or visit when there’s live music and watch buzzing Barneys come alive.

No, it’s one of Champneys’ luxury spa hotels. Champneys has four resorts - Tring, Forest Mere, Henlow and Springs. These are health spas with a laser focus on your health and wellbeing.

Its two luxury spa hotels, Eastwell Manor and Mottram Hall, feature all the mod cons you’d expect from a destination hotel (think elegant interiors, gourmet dining, glamorous bars and afternoon tea) along with a Champneys spa.

Tempted to turn a spa day into a spa stay? You’re in luck. Mottram Hall Hotel has 120 stylish bedrooms, each one carefully designed and tastefully decorated to reflect the hotel’s elegance. They’re also crammed full of life’s little luxuries, like Egyptian cotton bed-linen and snuggly duck feather & down duvets.

Here for a special occasion? Try a feature room. Located on the ground floor with private outdoor patios, they still have the glorious original oak panelling.

Champneys Spa Days start at 9am and end at 6pm, but do check your booking confirmation for full details. For overnight stays at Mottram Hall Hotel, check-in is at 3pm on your arrival day and you can check out at any time up to 11am on the day of your departure. 

It is. Alongside accessible treatment rooms and two separate accessible changing rooms, there’s an internal lift to the spa restaurant and also to the hotel bedrooms. There are steps into our leisure pool, but all thermal room access is DDA compliant in terms of door widths and features space for a wheelchair user.

Mottram Hall is owned by the Champneys Group, who bought the Georgian pile in 2018 and transformed the spa with a multi-million pound renovation. Champneys is probably the best known group in the UK’s health spa industry, dedicated to a combination of luxury hospitality and cutting-edge wellness.

You’ll find this sumptuous Georgian country house hotel in Cheshire, in the pretty village of Mottram St Andrew just three miles from Wilmslow, an affluent town which is one of the most sought after places to live in the UK after central London. It’s close to Macclesfield (six miles), and about 15 miles from the centre of Manchester. 

Very little, as you’ll be spending most of your day swanning around in your complimentary towelling robe and flip-flops! You’ll obviously need swimwear to wear in the pool and thermal facilities. But it's a good idea to bring some spare swimwear or dry underwear to keep you feeling comfortable when you go for lunch, or if you’re planning on booking into a treatment. You’ll also need activewear and trainers if you’re going to use the gym or have a class, and a spare pair for outdoors if you fancy a stroll around the grounds.

Yes you do! Flip flops are provided to all guests and are yours to keep. They’re also anti-slip tested so they’re perfect for the spa and poolside.

Unlike Champneys Resorts which are over 16s only, Mottram Hall is a Champneys hotel and as such it does welcome children! In fact your spa-loving mini-me’s aged 14 to 16 can even have a treatment, as long as you go with them to the treatment rooms.

Yes it does. The 18-hole Championship golf course played host to the 2013 European Seniors PGA Championship so you know you’re in for something extra special. Featuring two contrasting circuits of nine, the front nine has an impressive back-drop of the 18th century hall, while the back nine winds through rich woodland. Playing all 18? Make sure you stop at the Halfway House for refreshments!

Sorry, Mottram Hall doesn’t accept pooches, no matter how much they love to be pampered. Only guide dogs and hearing dogs allowed.
