A grand and welcoming hotel at Shrigley Hall

Built in 1825 as the family home of William Turner MP, Shrigley Hall Hotel is a four-star getaway nestled into 262 acres of countryside in the Peak District. With 155 bedrooms the hotel retains a homely vibe conducive to a family holiday, group getaway or for anyone looking for a rural retreat.

A spa experience that’s about variety

Leisure here is about a variety of experiences. The grounds, which we will tell you more about in a moment, quite literally set the scene and have a significant role to play. Meanwhile, inside there is a combination of working out and winding down to be done. This variety is what makes Shrigley Hall appeal to a wide variety of guests, for special occasions or simply because you fancy getting away. So, visit the health club and work out in the gym, take a dip in the pool, relax in the sauna, steam room, tranquility room and Jacuzzi, and don’t neglect to have a Decléor spa treatment or two as well. Just remember that there are children’s swimming times in the pool. So depending on whether you want to avoid those or join them with your family, do check them out before you plan your day.

The award-winning restaurant

Having been awarded an RAC dining award, the Oakridge Restaurant offers a seasonal menu and views of the grounds. Meanwhile, drinks are served in the Courtyard Bar with its conservatory space, which is also open for light lunches and offers lovely views to go with them.
