Good value for money for what is offered in the package. Health suite has different saunas and steam rooms, the massage package is worth it. All in all nice hotel, food was delicious.

Lovely place, friendly staff. Afternoon tea a little lacking but it was enough. Facilities were good, all in working order. I had a facial treatment, lady was lovely and explained everything to me. No pressure to buy anything either. It was my first spa experience so I could have done with a run down of what happens and when as I had to keep asking where to go!

We were greeted with a warm welcome & after filling out our forms we were given a tour of the spa with details of our spa break times & lunch. All staff were were lovely & our treatments amazing, we had coffee & headed into the sauna & foot bath. Our lunch was tasty & well presented. This is our first time here & won’t be our last! A special mention to Hannah for being very kind giving us great information on the Elemis products you had on offer. Thank you!
