Pregnancy spa breaks in North West

Most spas welcome mums-to-be from the second trimester and adapt their treatments for comfort, while heat experiences are generally best avoided, so it is worth checking each spa's policy and with your midwife. A pregnancy spa day also makes a thoughtful gift, and Spabreaks.com vouchers let the recipient pick their own date once they know how they are feeling. A car is the easiest way to reach most venues.

Particular favourites among Spabreaks.com customers here include Ribby Hall Village, a stylish Lancashire spa hotel with an aqua thermal journey and hydrotherapy pool, and Crewe Hall, a Grade I listed hall in the Cheshire countryside. The Spa at Carden is an adults-only retreat on a 1,000-acre Cheshire estate, Park Royal Hotel & Spa is well placed for Chester, Manchester and Liverpool, and Rowton Hall is a Georgian country house spa near Chester.
