Looking over…read morethe Dee estuary at the Welsh hills this is a destination venue that is ideal for weddings and other grand events. With only 19 rooms, the elegant Executive Suite, five Suites, seven Junior Suites and six Classic Rooms it is a case of quality over quantity. It can also act as a perfect treat for the other half. All suites are rather well equipped with beautiful fabrics, bed linen, pure silk rugs, hand picked grandiose furniture and a jacuzzi. The yellow room restaurant provides an ideal gourmet fine dining spot, where the lavish theme continues. Opulent gilt armchairs, tables dressed in crisp white linen,creating an awe inspiring yest relaxing ambiance. The menu consists of a selection of English and Continental cuisine finely balanced with an impressive collection of wines from the hotel's cellar. Understandably reservation of a table is paramount, and once booked there is no rush as the table is yours for the evening. It is however rather dear and as an alternative to this gourmet dining option the hotel offers the Hillbark Grill, a more informal dining option. The menu includes steaks, chicken, fish and in house hand made burgers. Everything on the menu is freshly cooked all on the char grill. Although majorly used for corporate and leisure events rather, Hillbark which is only 15 minutes from the city centre is a destination for a special occasion for those looking for a slightly luxuriant leisure option.

It's the most luxurious hotel that I've visited on the Wirral. Set within the beautiful acres of Royden Park and Thurtaston Common, this place is a fantastic Hotel with excellent levels or service and food and drink. I attended a leaver's ball here for the local girls school about three years ago, this included a sit down three course meal, dances and plenty of drinks. However, I'm constantly hearing of high profile guests and parties in this venue as it seems to be unrivalled in its service and surroundings within the area. The food was great, I think they have affiliations with various local catering companies and produce providers. The service was fantastic and the place was a palace. I'd fully recommend staying here if you're visiting the Wirral!

Luxurious spa & fantastic restaurant for an excellent price…read more I was invited to join a friend here for the 'fantastic Friday' deal in June. I hadn't heard of this place before and when my friend described the deal to my on text message it sounded a little too good to be true. £99 for spa use (aqua thermal journey) on the Friday then dinner in the restaurant followed by an overnight stay. Breakfast was also included plus the use of the spa again on the Saturday morning until 11. I wondered if it was a mediocre location - I couldn't have been more wrong! We arrive at 2pm on the Friday on a gloriously sunny day. The hotel and spa are very new and look stunning. The staff are all friendly and very polite and attentive. They offered to carry our bags to our rooms and made every effort to help us. Due to booking quite late we were in a disabled access room on the ground floor but this didn't change anything regarding how lovely it was. Large, light and well furnished with a fridge, drink making facilities, a tv and everything we needed for a great stay. I had such a good nights sleep in the bed. We had treatments (paid for separately to the package) on the Friday. The spa is luxurious and brand new. One of my favourite parts of this experience is that you can wear the robe and slippers they provide all the time (apart from the evening meal) so the whole day and even at breakfast! Heaven. Every part of it is gorgeous and just being there is relaxing. My Swedish back massage was heaven. We then headed into the aqua thermal journey which consists of 7 rooms and experiences throughout the spa. There is also an internal pool and an external hot tub where we sat in the sun. We then relaxed on sun loungers in the Zen garden with gin and tonics. They have waiter service from the bar. The evening meal was sublime. Two courses were included but we opted to have dessert as well at an extra cost. Each part of the meal was perfect. We had goats cheese mousse and crackers as a little amuse bouche which was delicious then I had asparagus, artichoke and radish salad while my friend had the duck egg starter. Both beautifully preserved and the taste was exceptional. Our mains were beef and duck. Again the presentation and flavour was excellent. We had the same dessert, chocolate fondant with cherries. Amazing but I was quite full so couldn't mange the last mouthful. The service was faultless. I cannot recommend this place enough, every element is wonderful and I felt completely renewed after my visit here.

A Spa Weekend to refuel after a long hard working Christmas. I am going to break down my review…read moreinto different segments to make it easier for myself to review it, so here goes.... Booking... I saw billboards for this new luxury spa hotel in Lancashire whilst driving to our Manchester Markets every day, so looked it up on't tinternet. Turns out it's not too far away and reasonably priced. So I rang up to book two rooms on the Spa Break Package that includes dinner, bed, breakfast and use of the 'Aqua Thermal Journey'. Priced at £110 per person, this seemed like a good buy. At the time of booking I requested a treatments menu for the spa to be posted out to me so my folks could pick what luxuries they would like to indulge in during our stay. Unfortunately I never received this menu so I printed one out myself. When we had decided on our treatments I rang up again to book them only to be told there was no availability for any treatment during that weekend! I think not. So I emailed them and after a few concerned phone calls all our treatments were booked in. The hotel... The hotel itself is situated at the far end of a holiday home park, which I was not expecting! This however, did not affect the hotel one bit. It is amazing. Brand spanking new, great spacious rooms, comfy beds, good bathrooms, Molton & Brown toiletries to use (or bring home), the staff couldn't have been more helpful (with the exception of one woman I spoke to on the phone) and the service was overall top notch. The food... We had dinner and breakfast included in our package and I must say I am super glad. The food was like nothing I have ever experienced. I have never been one for fancy food where you get a little bit nicely arranged on a plate that costs a bomb, but this may have opened my eyes a little wider. The food was beautifully designed on great plates (or slates) but also there was enough on the plate to fill you up. They obviously have a very well trained chef. During our evening meal we were presented with canapés which were unexpected but brill. We enjoyed three courses, all of exceptional quality. Breakfast is the same story. Great selection of continental foods and also a choice of hot foods all beautifully presented. Afternoon Tea was our last treat whilst at this hotel, priced at £12.50 a head it was the perfect ending to our weekend getaway. The spa... WOW. 1st class. That is all. Visit it (and don't forget to use the outdoor hot tub!). The only concern I have to mention is to check your bill upon check out. All of our treatments were put on the bill twice, and the room rate was wrong. Good job I checked!

Inside was still traditionally maintained but looked a little tired. The food in the italian restaurant next door was really tasty and surprisingly reasonably priced.

The room we stayed in was clean and tidy and the staff were all excellent, couldn't have asked for more.
