The Coppid Beech is 4 star hotel variously described as Swiss chalet or Alpine style hotel on the…read moreedge of Bracknell near the end of the A329M and the M4. The 200 room hotel is has an AA 2 rosette restaurant, a night club called Après. Downstairs there is the usual hotel bar, an Austrian 'Bier Keller' and a Health Club downstairs with an air-conditioned gym, sauna, steam room, sun beds, spa bath and two swimming pools. There are some nice design touches, like a triangle of three large fish tanks on each of the bedroom floors near the lifts which form a Toblerone-shaped light-pipe going into the reception area. The rooms have a lot of pale wood, adding to the Chalet-style décor. The breakfast buffet is extensive, and the toast arrived quickly and wasn't burnt. I didn't try the main restaurant for an evening meal, but a colleague described as fancy and overpriced, and that is how the menu looked to me. The car park circles the hotel, so there is plenty of it, but it still gets busy; there are very visible security staff walking around the car park. Overall I enjoyed the stay, but I don't think it is as good as it could be, not sure why!

The decor of the place is a little dated, owing more to the 90s than this century, although they have recently replaced all the nasty green chairs with leather and suede in browns and beiges. Foodwise, I pretty much always order the burger and a couple of side dishes for me and my son to share. The burger itself is small, often on a plain white bun, though it is usually very nicely cooked, and topped with decent relish and very tasty cheese. The accompanying salad is basic to the point of disappointing -just a big pile of chopped iceberg, sliced cucumber and tomato. The potato wedges are usually pretty tasty. Garlic bread is in sliced baguette form and you can get it topped with the same tasty cheddar that is on the burgers. What lets it all down is that it is all bizarrely served on cold plates! The greeting here is usually very friendly, particularly from the foreign waitress who seems to be the regular server on Saturdays. However, their opening hours for food at the weekend are rather restricted - currently just two hours on a Saturday lunchtime - and if you catch them a touch early you'd think the place was closed (even though the bar currently doubles as the hotel reception), and you'll need to wander around looking for a member of staff. One interesting thing about this place is, as the name suggests, its nod to local artists. There are always different pictures and artwork on the walls and in the cabinets when I visit, all for sale. Nearly every time I've been lately, they have talked of being under new management and talk of a new menu. Some changes have certainly happened, such as the new furniture, but the menu has been static since I first started going nearly two years ago. All in all, it's nice enough to keep me going back, and reasonable value for money. But I can't help thinking it could do better. This place could be a little gem. They seem to be trying... Just not hard enough.

I'm reviewing my day at the Pennyhill Hotel spa. I enjoyed my day very much and the spa almost…read moremerited a full 5 stars but little details let it down. Please bear in mind that I'm judging it by the very highest standards but such a place aspires to such heights. Firstly, it proved a little difficult to get an answer on the phone when I rang to try and book - it took me 3 phone calls to get through. Secondly, the person taking the booking didn't seem to know that certain treatments were available although they were on the spa website. The hotel is only 5 minutes from junction 3 of the M3 and the opulence of the place is immediately obvious as you enter its grounds. The spa is housed in its own building away from the main hotel. I was intrigued by steam coming off the outdoor pool and hot tubs as we walked past them on the way into the main spa building. As it was a working day, the spa was quiet though the huge corridors would definitely be able to cope with a lot of guests. On the drive to the hotel, I had been contacted by mobile to say that one of my treatments had to be cancelled due to staff illness and that I would be offered an alternative. This and the welcome were handled efficiently by the staff. Perhaps, it's a reflection of their regular clientele but I did feel that everyone at the spa was quite formal, a slight contrast to other spas I had been to. The spa was labyrinthine and really exciting to explore on my first visit there. The changing rooms themselves were enormous and the opulence of the place was reflected in the size of the shower cubicles - enormous with 5 jets of water spraying you from the ceiling and also from the walls. However, it would have been nice to have had a demonstration of the locker system - in the end, I had some advice from the other guests. Also, it would have been nice to have had some way to attach the locker key card to the arm/leg rather than having to leave it in my bathrobe pockets when I went into the steam rooms and saunas. Another disappointment was that the bathrobes weren't as luxurious as the rest of the place. My robe was worn through on one shoulder and mine had a dirty spot on the sleeve. The facilities were top notch and fun to discover. There were men's and women's only sections as well as communal facilities, one letdown being that there were certain facilities available only in the single sex areas but not in the communal area. However, the huge variations of steam rooms, saunas, reflexology thrones, massage chairs, etc. would fill any possible needs of the guests. The swimming pool was lovely and there were some classes going on while we were there. I was keen to try some of the outdoor pools I had spotted on the way in. One of them has a connection to an indoor pool but 2 others required a quick dash out from the main swimming pool area! Having swum in outdoor pools in ski resorts, I knew it was possible to make it without catching a fatal dose of pneumonia (I visited at Christmas time). Lunch was included in the day package at Café Themis. The café prides itself on the provenance of the food and I can confirm healthy options, large portions and tasty food. The fresh juices and smoothies were especially yummy and come in huge glasses. My server was very helpful in pointing out that most people don't have the 2 courses included in the deal at lunchtime but instead have one course at lunch (big portions!) and come back later for tea and a cake. The listed prices on the menu were quite expensive for a café though and I was pleased to have it as part of the package. I had booked 2 half hour treatments and the spa treatment area was very calming and nicely decorated. The rooms were nice and big though the second treatment room was quite cold. The treatments ranged from an excellent reflexology massage to an OK foot massage. All the therapists were very friendly but perhaps the late staff illness meant a slightly inexperienced practitioner substitute but everyone tried their best. There's even an incredible room for sleeping in - with heated waterbeds and duvets! So overall, I had a really nice time but couldn't quite award Pennyhill spa the top 5 stars. I had intended to book a stay at the hotel before but was quite surprised to find that their normal room prices don't include entry to the spa, which is very surprising considering the cost of the rooms On the way out, I popped into the main hotel and asked to look at a few rooms. A lovely Romanian receptionist showed me round. The rooms are all decorated in individual styles and my advice would be to find out about the room you're booking as they're all very different, even within the same price bracket.

The grounds are vast encompassing a golf course, shooting range, tennis courts, an archery pit, clay pigeon shooting stations and of course the spa. On arriving at reception in the main stately PennyHIll Park Hotel, I was welcomed by beaming smiles and a warm open fire. The oil paintings, rich, opulent rugs, flagstone floors and butlers in tailcoats all add to the feel of a country house at its best. All rooms are extravagant and individually designed. My room overlooked the delicately manicured gardens and cleverly incorporated the cosy feel of luxurious antiques including wrought iron chandeliers and deep mahogany furniture with a particularly modern and luxurious bathroom. The rainforest shower and deep bath with flat screen tv strategically placed for ideal viewing was the height of indulgence...until I visited the spa. Claiming to be the largest spa in England, it holds 21 therapy rooms, 8 indoor and outdoor pools and hot tubs as well as some very original rooms for those looking for that little something extra. The minimal marble hallways will lead you to the Ice Grotto for use after a sauna or steam. It has frozen walls and an ice fountain producing flaked ice for scrubbing the skin. The Schnapps steam room uses aromas based on the drink but if you're looking for more, then you can take a lie down on the heated ceramic ergonomic chairs or take a seat on a heated reflexology throne with massaging foot jets and pebbles. During my stay I enjoyed a Kodo massage. A rhythmic body massage inspired by traditional Australian aboriginal techniques aimed to tone and re-align energy flows, enhancing mind and body balance. A truly magical experience leaving me in a trance like state which led to the most incredible nap ever taken! The spa is an adult only zone which meant that I was undisturbed and dozed alongside the peace and quiet of the crystal blue ballroom swimming pool. Had I taken a swim in the pool, I am told I would have enjoyed the underwater music - another example of attention to detail in classic PennyHill Park style. For dinner, there's the choice of the in house Michelin star Latymer restaurant or the more casual dining in The Brasserie. I chose the Brasserie and sat at a table overlooking the Spa where I secretly planned my strategy for experiencing even more of the treatment rooms for the following morning. The service was impeccable and the food, superb. The courses were rich in flavour but I managed to find just enough room to enjoy all three courses. I am not often defeated! The wine menu is excellent and accompanied by a friendly sommelier for those wanting advice. On arriving back in my room, I slumped in to bed (it had been a hard day!) feeling satisfied in every way. I had selected my pillow of choice from the pillow menu, placed my PennyHill Park teddy bear outside my bedroom door thereby indicating I did not want to be disturbed and enjoyed a blissful long nights sleep in my king size four poster bed. There really is something for everyone at PennyHIll Park and Spa and with the added benefit of incredibly friendly staff and it's close proximity to London it is no wonder it was voted No. 2 in the 'Top 50 Most Desirable Spas 2010'. * * As voted by readers of Professional Beauty Magazine
