Hotel announces multi-million pound spa plans

Gisborough Hall has revealed detailed plans for its new multi-million-pound spa development.
Earlier this year, the family-owned hotel became fully-independent for the first time since it opened 15 years ago and announced its intention to build a new spa within its grounds.

Work will get underway later this year or early next year and it is hoped the woodland spa will be open by the end of 2018.

Gisborough Hall’s management team plan to create around 38 full-time and 28 part-time jobs at the spa, which will include an 18-meter indoor pool, an outdoor hydro-pool, a variety of heat experiences with relaxation space, nine treatment rooms, an extensive gym and a fitness studio.

Kim Yardley, general manager of Gisborough Hall, said: “Our Revival Zone spa at Gisborough Hall has always been popular but it’s just not big enough for the demand that we have. What’s more we’re now in a position to build on our current offer and make both Gisborough Hall and the surrounding area an international destination for business and leisure.

“Our woodland spa setting will overlook the beautiful Cleveland Hills in a secluded yet easily reached location. Our aim is to offer our local community and guests from all over the world a different spa experience and we hope to be open by next Christmas.”

Nick Holmes, a non-executive director at Gisborough, added: “The spa industry is growing rapidly throughout the UK but particularly in North of England which already boasts some of the finest, award-winning spas. The hotel has a superb location and the addition of an outstanding spa facility can only enhance its reputation both regionally and nationally. We also want to put Guisborough as a town on the map as a go-to destination which, in turn, brings people to the region and helps to boost the local economy.

“Our 15th anniversary year is the ideal time to make this investment which is creating a lot of excitement and we hope to be able to share more plans in the coming months.”

Gisborough Hall will remain open as normal throughout the development.

Gisborough Hall dates back to 1857 and the grade II-listed country house was fully restored in 2002 following investment by the Gisborough family, who privately own the hotel.
