Rockliffe Hall’s new wellbeing manager develops retreat programmes

Rockliffe Hall, a five-star luxury golf and spa hotel in the north-east of England, has appointed Peter Bell as its first wellbeing manager.

Drawing on his background as a sports therapist and fitness manager at the hotel, Bell, pictured right, leading a Nordic walking class, will implement a new set of wellbeing initiatives, including a series of day retreats designed to achieve a sense of contentment, invigoration and relief from stress. The new programmes will be available to everyone connected to the property, from team members to golf and spa members, hotel guests, the local community and corporate companies. Bell has developed three new day retreats focused on achieving a sense of contentment, vitality and stress reduction. Based around Nordic walking, meditation and mental health, the day-long sessions include four hours in the spa, a combination of yoga, movement and mental relaxation, plus a nutritious two-course lunch in its brand-new restaurant Nu Sana. www.rockliffehall.com
