Shropshire · Golf and spa resort · Beauty and wellbeing
Macdonald Hill Valley brings together two 18-hole golf courses, an eight-room spa and a 20-metre pool in peaceful countryside near Whitchurch. Its ELEMIS-led face and body treatments, Jessica nail care and relaxed country-club atmosphere make it a versatile choice for spa days, beauty breaks and mixed golf-and-spa stays.
Why visit Hill Valley
This modern 80-room resort is designed for guests who want more than a single-purpose spa escape. The fairways shape the view, while the Vital Health & Wellbeing Club provides a warm indoor pool, thermal facilities and a candlelit treatment area. Chester, Shrewsbury and the Shropshire Hills can all extend the stay.

The spa experience
The pool and fitness areas are brighter and more active, while the treatment and relaxation rooms shift the mood towards low lighting and quiet recovery. Therapies include massage, facials and body treatments alongside Jessica manicures and pedicures. The mud rasul offers a sociable self-applied treatment experience, and the dual suite can work well for couples or friends.
Beauty and restorative treatments
Hill Valley’s product mix gives the spa a useful beauty dimension as well as a relaxation focus. ELEMIS facials can support hydration, renewal and radiance goals, while Jessica nail services and Bare Minerals make-up treatments suit guests preparing for an occasion. Results and suitability vary, so discuss skin sensitivity, pregnancy, medical treatment and desired outcomes with the therapist before booking.
A flexible Shropshire retreat where pool time, professional beauty care and 36 holes of golf can share the same itinerary.
Spa days, breaks and golf
Day and overnight packages may combine treatment time, facility use, food and accommodation, but inclusions change by date and offer. Under-16s are not admitted to spa days, and SpaBreaks states a minimum age of 18 for spa breaks. The wider hotel is family friendly; confirm current pool schedules and age rules before travel.
The two golf courses make Hill Valley especially relevant to couples and groups with different priorities. Non-golfers can remain in the spa or explore Whitchurch and the surrounding countryside while golfers play.
Dining, access and practical details
Borders Restaurant, its conservatory and the bar provide informal on-site dining, with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients. The spa offers step-free access, accessible changing and treatment rooms, and shower seating and grab bars. Four ground-floor accessible bedrooms are also listed, although individual requirements should always be confirmed directly.
