As first impressions go, Chill Out Spa in Liverpool has one to remember. Roll through the gated entrance of the private Royal estate of Knowsley Hall and survey the 2,500 acres of rolling parkland before stopping outside a former Victorian farm building, now slick contemporary spa. If that doesn't elevate your mood, step over the threshold and let your body become instantly soothed by the clever contemporary lighting and soft wafting scents. Get seduced by the treatment menu, which runs the gamut of health and beauty solutions – from correcting facials from Espa and Thalgo pregnancy massages to a pluck and preen at the cool Brow Lounge. Collect your thoughts in the serene relaxation area, kitted out with comfy leather recliners and twinkling lights, or cool off in the meditative pool and forget all your worries.
