Tucked away amidst 100 acres of gently rolling Lancashire countryside, The Woodland Spa at the Crow Wood Resort in Burnley offers a refined escape from the everyday. Established within a lush landscape dominated by Pendle Hill, this day-spa retreat blends scenic tranquillity with luxury amenities.
A Sanctuary of Relaxation
From the moment you arrive, the sound of silence is one of the most inviting features. The spa’s setting—amid woodland and pasture—creates a sense of space and calm that feels rare this close to UK towns.
Inside, the spa experience is layered and immersive. Key features include:
- A Thermal Experience Journey with steam rooms (including salt steam), ice fountain, Rasul mud chamber, Roman foot baths and hydro-therapy showers.
- The spa’s signature outdoor elements: a rooftop terrace with fire-pit lounges, a south-facing infinity‐edge spa pool, and two large outdoor hot-jacuzzis giving wide countryside views.
- The spa’s treatment menu, offering body scrubs, massages and skin-care therapies delivered by experienced therapists in dedicated rooms.

Stay a Little Longer
While many guests opt for a day visit, The Woodland Spa also offers overnight breaks. Guests receive access to the Thermal Experience on arrival, and options include dinner in the hotel’s restaurant the evening before, followed by breakfast the next morning. Rates vary by day of the week and suite type.
Practical Details
Located just off Junction 11 of the M65 and easily accessible from Blackburn, Accrington, Nelson and Colne, The Woodland Spa is convenient for regional travellers seeking a high-end retreat. Parking is available on-site.
Perfect For…
- A luxury spa day when you want to reset, recharge and escape without travelling far.
- A wellness weekend with a partner or friend, combining treatments, relaxation and countryside vistas.
- A solo revival—the expansive hydro-zones and quiet lounge areas accommodate personal reflection as much as social time.
Final Thought
If you value understated elegance, immersive wellness and a retreat into nature, The Woodland Spa is a destination worth considering. Here, the countryside doesn’t just surround you—it becomes part of the experience, enhancing each steam, plunge and moment of stillness.
