Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa

The Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa is a country house style hotel set in the rural village of Pulford, a few miles south of Chester and close to the Welsh border. It is one of the largest independently owned hotels in the area and a popular destination for both overnight stays and day visits focused on its spa facilities.

The centrepiece for day visitors is the Roman themed spa complex, which includes a large vitality pool, a hydrotherapy pool, a salt cave, an aroma steam room, an ice fountain and a sequence of saunas and experience showers laid out around mosaic floors and pillared walkways. Treatment rooms offer a full range of facials, massages and body therapies, and packages typically combine spa access with afternoon tea or lunch in one of the hotel's restaurants.

The setting is quietly rural, with formal gardens and views across Cheshire farmland, yet the historic streets of Chester, the racecourse and Chester Zoo are all only a short drive away. The hotel makes a comfortable base for exploring the Dee Valley, the Wirral and north east Wales.
