A CHESHIRE spa is in the running to be crowned number one in the North West at a regional awards ceremony.

The Spa at De Vere Carden Park, near Malpas, has been selected as one of the finalists for the Good Spa Awards 2012.

In order to make the shortlist, spas must have attained the highest ‘bubble rating’ after being reviewed by the ‘spa spies’ at The Good Spa Guide, although the winners are voted for by members of the public.

Hotel general manager Hamish Ferguson said: “The Good Spa Awards are a benchmark for success in the industry and we are delighted to have made the shortlist for the regional award.

“Our aim is to provide our customers with an unparalleled spa experience and we achieve this by using only the best products and ensuring our staff are trained to the highest standard.”

He added: “Hopefully our customers have been suitably impressed and will go online to vote for us.”
