I need a little help from the Ooop North people.
I'm looking for a nice, country-type/boutique-type hotel near Manchester. Ideally with a spa. It's just for a couple of days as a treat for a friend. I've looked on the webby thing but only the middle of Manchester is coming up and I don't know the surrounds well enough to gauge how far away places are relative to the airport.
Your kind help is much appreciated and I promise a kiss to anyone being helpful if you're at the social at the end of the month.
Thanks. |

Titanic spa in huddersfield is lovely. If you want somewhere boutique and rural but no spa there is a nice one in rossendale with a spa bath and 4 poster bed x if not, hilton manchester has a good spa, same with raddisson. Or try mercure at blackburn.   |

" Or try mercure at blackburn.
I stayed at the Mercure on a meet in Blackburn - the beds weren't very big and the showers were crazily noisy! "
I'm staying in the mercure in Edinburgh and seems ok.. |

I stayed at Kilhey Court, Standish, nr Wigan a couple of times and found it a lovely hotel with a nice wee spa. It comes up as 40 mins from airport though, and 5 miles from Wigan Station so dunno if this is further away than you expected. It's a MacDonald hotel, reasonably priced rooms but bar quite pricey (although that's pricey by Oop North standards, probably dirt cheap to them from Darn Sarf)  |

Thanks, I'll have a look. I'll be with two teetotal, celibate women so the bar costs should be manageable.
Do they do burgers? |

Thank you all. The lastminute dot com sale has determined staying central, with a pool and booking treatments elsewhere. It'll be easier for my friends early flight and I can fit in a bit of fun if I want/need to as well.
I have noted all recommendations for further visits to the Ooop North. |
