Wakefield’s Top 10 Spas & Spa Therapists

The Profile

Manor Farm Spa sits at the edge of a working farm and is presented as a slow-paced country retreat where guests find pasture, sheep and dairy cows on the doorstep. The site was developed over three years to create extensive gardens and long views that invite prolonged relaxation and calm observation of the surrounding rural routines.

Manor Farm operates more like a private retreat than a high-turnover day spa: every booking secures the retreat exclusively for your group and visitors are escorted to one of two quirky chalets, The Bee or The Dragonfly. The visit rhythm is deliberately flexible, with complimentary mini-treatments, hot-tub time and the option to take treatments outdoors when weather and mood allow.

Food and practical details are integrated into the Manor Farm experience, with premium produce sourced directly from local farmers and vegetarian and vegan options offered for every meal. Guests relax by a blazing log burner, choose their own music, capture moments on instant polaroid cameras and can enjoy an early hot tub from 6.30am before a local market breakfast served around 8am.
