The Most Relaxing Spa Breaks in Manchester, UK
"A failsafe and firm favorite with lovebirds is Malmaison, easily one of the most romantic hotels in Manchester. The hotel is steeped in history; it was formerly a 19th-century cotton warehouse and a Victorian dollsâ hospital later. Glittering silver walls, red velvet sofas, and white-and-black tile floors greet you as you enter."
"When the big city gets too big and the bright lights too blinding, we have the perfect solution. Find your sanctuary at Malmaison Manchester Spa. Whether you want to get glammed up and gorgeous for your big night out or melt away that tension after a hard week at work, this place is your perfect spa escape."

"The spa town of Buxton can really offer something for everyone; enjoy a stroll around the pretty Pavilion gardens. The kids can enjoy the playground areas or you might chose to go for a swim at the recent refurbished swimming pool. The more adventurous may want to try out âGo Apeâ the treetop adventure course, for those without a head for heights a visit to Pooleâs Cavern is fascinating, and itâs a great activity especially for kids when the weather does not cooperate for outdoor activities."

"Why: Traditional breakfast dishes grace the menu at Billâs, with a full English and stacks of pancakes featuring. For something a little healthier thereâs a whole section on eggs (yes, including of course eggs with avocado toast) and a garden plate which includes eggs, roasted tomatoes, charred peppers, smashed avocado, mushrooms and more. Where: 8-12 John Dalton Street, M2 6JP"

Location: Billâs, Hardman Square, Manchester, M3 3EB."
"Let's face it, nothing gets you through a difficult day in the office quite like a really great lunch. So forget about soggy sandwiches, sad salads and sweaty scotch eggs. The best lunch spots in Manchester are on hand to transform your day for the better."
"This Didsbury pizza place had already proove-d itself on the classic pizza front but has recently really stepped up its vegan game too. Not content with a token âvegan cheese optionalâ footnote, instead a whole menu of vegan pizzas âdesigned by vegans for vegansâ has joined the party. Choose from nine pizzas from the basic Margherita to wildcards like the Art-Beet with basil, beetroot and artichokes or La Contadina with green pea base, sauteed cabbage, capers, vegan Mozzarella and pistachios."
"One of the best places to eat pizza in Manchester, Proove is a firm choice for alfresco dinners in the warmer months. Get stuck onto freshly baked Neapolitan slices in their cosy terrace space on a chilled out date or long-awaited catch-up with pals."
"Based in the Northern Quarter, this cafĂ© serves breakfast and lunch dishes including a large range of hot dishes. One TripAdvisor traveller said: âI usually venture in here for the Full English (and then I'm so stuffed I never need to eat again all day!) or the Indian Panini but I tried one of the specials today and was not left disappointed."
