A hotel spa in Burnley has been crowned the title of Best UK Hotel Spa in a national awards ceremony for the second year running.

The Woodland Spa, part of the Crow Wood Hotel and Spa resort in Holme Road, was up against luxurious venues across the country but came out on top.

The Good Spa Guide Awards 2023, which took place at the Spa Life convention at The Cotswolds Water Park Hotel, recognised and celebrated exceptional service in the spa industry.

The Woodland Spa was praised for its ‘sense of intimacy and peace’ set within 100 acres of Lancashire countryside and ‘killer views’.

Crow Wood’s director, Oliver Brown, said: “We think the award speaks volumes about the standard of luxury our guests enjoy.

"We believe we are truly flying the flag for Burnley and challenging people’s perceptions.”

Leah Aspin reviewed the Burnley spa after her visit in May, calling it ‘the best spa I have been to’.

She said: “I love that you can use the facilities all day and when the weathers good you could literally be anywhere in the world, sipping cocktails by the pool.

"The food is also amazing especially the tapas…just delicious."

Deborah, another customer who enjoyed her visit at The Crow Wood Hotel and Spa, said: “You are guaranteed a warm welcome and a fabulous ambience. The spa is modern and its surroundings are beautiful, especially in summer.

“Staff are always attentive and treatments are at a very high standard, professional level. Certainly worth a visit, and it wont be your last one!"

A statement posted on the hotel’s website said: “This victory reflects our commitment to exceptional service and luxury, impressing guests and surpassing tough competition.

“Our dedicated team is overjoyed…Thanks to all our guests for voting and making this possible!”

The hotel only finished being built in October 2019 and has already secured a number of awards including ‘Business Excellence in Burnley’ award last year.
