Rest and relaxation amidst the beauty of West Yorkshire
Yorkshire is one of the most inspiring and beautiful parts of the UK, widely recognised for its combination of natural beauty, heritage, culture, food, hospitality and more. Amongst its many assets are enchanting hotels and spas, one of which is the Craiglands Hotel, which is also home to the Verbeia Spa. Here are just a few reasons we love it...
The scenic location
Think of Yorkshire and immediately visions of rolling hills and dales come to mind. Craiglands Hotel is located amidst just such beauty, surrounded by six acres of landscaped grounds and woodland, with views stretching across the Yorkshire Moors.
The Victorian charm
The hotel dates back more than 150 years, and has retained its grand Victorian style alongside its more contemporary updates. From the moment you step in to the second your head hits the pillow in one of the 63 rooms and suites, there's a heritage charm that pervades the whole experience.
The modern spa
The Verbeia Spa & Fitness is a modern addition to the hotel, enhancing the experience with a well-considered approach to holistic wellbeing. Go on a journey in this oasis of calm, enjoying the vitality spa pool, a bespoke mud rasul chamber (for up to four people), sauna and steam room, and array of spa treatments.
Holistic wellness
The spa treatments at Verbeia Spa have been carefully selected and provide a truly holistic sense of wellbeing. The mud rasul brings a little Middle Eastern healing to West Yorkshire, and is perfect for a small group of friends or a couple. Meanwhile, they have five treatment rooms offering aromatherapy based face and body treatments ranging from vitamin glow facials and firming wraps to Zenspa manicures and pedicures.
Delicious local cuisine
A trip to Yorkshire would not be complete without superb food, and the restaurant here does not disappoint. Taking inspiration and flavours from the abundant regional fare, they use local ingredients to serve classics ranging from award-winning pork sausages with colcannon to sumptuous afternoon teas, all in the elegant Brasserie1 restaurant.
