The new spa facilities you need to know about at Moddershall Oaks

In the heart of rural Staffordshire, Moddershall Oaks has always been a unique destination thanks to its spa and all-suite hotel accommodation. However, a series of updates have turned it into the height of luxury, now joining our exclusive Elysium Collection.

The cosy former farmhouse is blessed with enchanting views that set the scene for rest and relaxation. Dinner is served with a view of the lake and there are 72-acres of grounds and gardens to explore. It's the carefully considered details however, that really set it apart. Here's what you need to know.

Work out and wind down

The spa at Moddershall Oaks is a tale of two halves - fitness and relaxation.

Fitness at Moddershall Oaks

Wellness Centre is the place for working out, complete with a spacious gym and an array of classes to join ranging from yoga and HIIT to meditation and circuits. Hotel guests can take part in the classes at a reduced rate, but you do need to book in advance. It's also worth noting that this part of the estate is home to MADE - a plant-based cafe serving up healthy fare from fresh green juices to berry smoothies, oat energy bites and smashed avocado on toast.

Spa at Moddershall Oaks

The spa is a complete sanctuary, at the heart of which is an outdoor vitality pool. Flanked by a sauna, and a seated area that extends into a relaxation lounge complete with an outdoor bioethanol fire, there's full poolside service, so you can enjoy cocktails, mocktails, herbal teas and champagne brought to you by the water.

Inside, the experience continues with facilities including:

• A steam room
• Lagoon pool
• A hydro pool
• An experience shower
• Heated loungers

There's also a rasul mud chamber, which can be added to any spa day - perfect for small groups and couples as well as preparing mind and body for further therapies.
