Excellent treatments, amazing facial and my mum and sister also had excellent facial/massage. Facilities ok, some areas looking a little tired. Reception staff could be a bit more friendly, but on the whole an enjoyable day.

Lovely and clean, had a really enjoyable day, facilities were great. Although would have liked to have a Jacuzzi. It would have been beneficial to have a show around from the staff as had to stumble around to find different rooms. The deep tissue massage from Denise was fantastic. I was worried the massage may have been too relaxing as I had wanted a firm deep one but Denise knew exactly what my issues and tensions were and really relieved some pain. The afternoon tea was lovely, would recommend.

Overall our stay was enjoyable and relaxing. Staff were nice and treatments were good also 👌🏻. We had sandwiches in the spa which unfortunately were not good, stale bread with no butter, and very basic for how much they cost (£12 each if I remember correctly!) Steam room smelt a bit funky it may need a good clean, and for some reason the buttons on the showers in the thermal suite weren’t right (hot was cold and cold was hot).

A little disappointed at first as the robes which we were given were small and felt worn plus we had to ask for towels. However once we settled in the pool, sauna, steam were good with sufficient beds. The treatment was 100% and the afternoon tea was gorgeous. Then we found the Thermal suite slightly hidden away as well as the garden room. Ask to be shown around as its not easy to find everything the hotel and spa has to offer and the best bits are more secluded.

So we paid £319 for dinner B & B on a Saturday night with 2 x 25 minute treatments for myself and my partner. The spa was nice shame there was no Jacuzzi. Service was very slow at dinner although the food we had was very nice. The rooms and hotel are dated and it has a sad feeling about the place. Its a shame as it could be lovely. The breakfast again was very good. The spa treatments we had were good.

Loved our spa experience. Great pool, lovely relaxing spa area. We enjoyed a couple of classes too. The only area for improvement would be better choice for the inclusive lunch.
