Last time I posted a blog it seemed like we still had loads of renovation work to do and now it’s all done! It was great fun but I’m glad it’s all over. Talk about stress…
It’s certainly been a challenging project. Working with a Grade I listed building with a rare breeding colony of bats is no easy task, but we all pulled together and opened on schedule (don’t mention budget!).
We launched 10 new stunning bedrooms and the 2010 Brasserie on 2 July. All rooms sold out straight away and have been fully booked since, which is great.
There’s a real buzz about the 2010 Brasserie and its secluded courtyard. The menus have gone down really well and everyone’s commented on the quality of the finish and all the original features of the new facilities.
In the 2010 Brasserie there are two original ranges and many of the new bedrooms have original fireplaces, amazing vaulted ceilings, fully restored windows with amazing views of the Castle grounds or the Cheshire Plains.
Then there’s the beauty treatment facility, Tranquility. Tranquility’s got a double treatment room and a single treatment room, plus a spray tan booth and nail bar area in the reception. Tranquility uses all the best products, like Elemis, and offers everything you’d expect to find in a first class venue.
So now you can pop in for a light lunch, manicure and spray tan!
We’ve also launched a new website. If you take a look you’ll see some photos of the new bedrooms, the 2010 Brasserie and soon we’ll post some for Tranquility. You’ll also be able to check out our special offers and if you leave us your contact details so we can send you information in the future you’ll be entered into a competition to win a 2-night stay with us.
So much new news! What else? Oh yes, we’re now using event company G3 for lots of our activities and team building events. Check out the Muddy Good Fun bit of the new website.
I’ll be seeing lots of you very soon for our launch events. I’m really looking forward to that. If you’re not coming for some reason, be sure to drop in soon and tell us what you think of the 2010 Brasserie, the menus, the new rooms, Tranquility, everything!
