The Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa

The Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa is set in breathtaking Cheshire countryside and is home to the £1.5m Karma Spa, the first spa to be honoured by Visit Britain's new spa accreditation scheme.

The family-run hotel is part of Nelson Northwest Hotels Ltd, which recently re-opened The Bear's Paw, following a 12 month refurbishment project worth £2m.

The Sandbach pub was forced to close for repairs last year after a fire destroyed much of the building, which has been a part of the Warmingham's village landscape for centuries.

The pub now boasts 14 boutique rooms with complimentary wifi and media hubs, and luxurious new furnishings throughout.

Olympic medallist Beth Tweddle was the guest of honour at the re-launch in May. Beth is from nearby Bunbury and started her gymnastic career in Crewe at the age of seven.

The Mayor of Cheshire East, Margaret Simon and the Mayor's Consort, Maurice Simon, were also there to celebrate.

The new pub serves locally sourced, seasonal food and the kitchen is helmed by executive chef Leigh Myers, who has worked at some of the country's most renowned Michelin-starred restaurants, including the Northcote Manor Hotel, Paul Heathcote's Longridge and the Devonshire Arms in Bolton Abbey.
