Nice, but not great
The best part of the spa is the pool area, with several pools, waterfalls, etc. Between treatments I napped quite happily on a pool chair, imagining myself somewhere warm and balmy. I was disappointed with the rest of the day. When I first arrived I was not introduced to the spa nor given a tour, so I had no idea where to go for my treatments etc., and was therefore delayed (treatment shortened accordingly). I started with a massage, which was just fine (I've had better but I've also had worse) with a kind and attentive masseuse, but then I was left to my own devices again (I got lost again, and needed help finding lunch - how embarrassing!).Lunch was mediocre at best, though it was not the fault of the staff who were friendly and helpful. I felt very odd in my robe and slippers while everyone else in the room was fully clothed, although they told me that it's more usual for everyone else to be in robes.My afternoon treatments were a facial (my first so I hesitate to critique it), and a file and polish for hands and feet. For the mani/pedi they brought me out to a corridor between two stairwells, next to the gym, and although there was a view it felt a bit cobbled together. I was disappointed with the value for money, although they did do everything they said they would (and I got a nice nap too).

Laura Middleton, OxfordshireMarch 2009cant wait to go back for more
I purchased this 'pamper day' experience to treat my mum and myself for mother's day. We had a fantastic day, using the pool and spa facilities all day, having what was described as a 'light lunch' (not so light, but very nice) and three treatments. All the facilities were very well kept and there was a lovely relaxed atmosphere, and all staff were very helpful and friendly. We both had a back, neck and shoulder massage, a facial and a manicure included in the cost. The massage and facial were fantastic. A lovely day out and we will certainly be treating ourselves there again.Guest Rating
