I have been here on spa days, for manicures, coffee with friends but I have recently (July), joined…read moretheir health club (this gives you access to the gym, all classes and the spa, you get discounts and free passes for guests). It's a good place to relax and keep fit. I am yet to try one of the group classes. The treatments are one of the best i ever had in any spa(been to quite a few in different countries). Facilities are very good as well. Location not great if you fancy an overnight stay with pretty views. There's sauna, plunge pool, heated outdoor pool, relaxation areas(both outdoor and indoors), treatments are elemis .

My stay at Hoar Cross could not have been any nicer. The setting is sublime- a huge, elegant estate…read morewith Italian gardens and statuary, with tastefully decorated interiors and an attentive staff. I was in the area on business and elected to reserve a "luxury" room and was very glad I did; it had a sweeping view of the gardens and farm fields as far as the eye could see, was huge and had formal mirrors and a chandelier, a comfortable king bed and a velvet sofa. I had the two-course dinner, with a fresh carrot ginger soup and local Staffordshire rump of lamb with parsnip and plum. It was flawlessly prepared and delicious. The wine list is strong. I also had an after dinner drink at the bar and had a truly lovely conversation with a young bartender named Marek. Hoar Cross appears to attract a lot of folks for "girls spa getaways," with lots of women clearly revelling in their enjoyable mini vacations. The mood is light and joyful. Sadly, I did not realize that spa access was part of my package, and was unprepared with swimwear, so I cannot speak of the spa amenities. I'd return here in a heartbeat.

Restaurants and staff have been very accommodating to us. We have had 3 treatments each so far and they have all been high quality and professional as well as tailored to suit wheelchair wherever needed. A great place to stay and would definitely come back - for longer next time.

Once in a while everyone needs a break, and at the end of a particularly stressful week of work i…read moretook Friday afternoon off for some me time. Having had Vibro suite recommended to me by a friend I decided to check out the spa and am very glad I did. They have a fantastic range of treatments and are able to accommodate you if you want a 30 minute lunch time treat or like me an entire afternoon of relaxation. In an attempt to relax I opted for a "Deep Tissue Massage" and a "Bespoke You Facial" both were 1 hour treatments. The welcome was fantastic and I immediately felt at ease and was offered a range of drinks, the initial massage was carried out very well and actually did work to release some of the tension I felt. This was followed by a 10 minute break where I was allowed to sit relax and offered another drink. The Facial consisted of a 15 minute consultation asking about my skin type and normal routine. This was followed by a full 1 hour facial which I think was done very well. Unlike many other spas I wasn't pressured into buying any products or booking a follow up, the staff were fantastic and both treatments were great value for money. I would definitely recommend Vibro Suite.

This Hotel came highly regarded of which we saw parts. The gardens in the back our pretty, the…read morebuffet breakfast was generous, staff were pleasant, and the downtown location was very convenient. However, overall hotel room comfort did not meet expectations. When we checked in, our room was very hot due to the sun coming in the windows. The AC didn't work properly and the front desk was very slow in finding someone to solve the problem. Because we faced the street, it was too noisy to have the windows open at night to get fresh air. Perhaps I would have felt differently if given a room in the back with a view of the gardens. This was our least favorite hotel out of the six we stayed in during a 7-day walking tour.

This review is particularly for Afternoon Tea at FIG restaurant only…read more We stopped by after strolling around Chipping Campden without making prior reservation. The staffs were courteous and kindly checked for availability for us. We then were greeted and seated soon after. The service at Fig was great. The tea selections are great. The High Tea set are delicious and quite a lot! I actually enjoyed the scones quite a lot even though I don't like it that much in the States. Quality, Service, and Experience definitely worth more than 22£ per person.

I booked myself in to have the Java body wrap which provides firming and slimming results…read more When I got there, they measured my body taking note of my current body size. Then I had to put on some very attractive paper pants before the lady started to wrap me up using lots of bandages that had been soaked in what can only be described as a clay like substance. They were left on for around 60 minutes whilst I was left to lay on the bed and relax. Afterwards I was measured again and I had lost a combined total of 5 inches from different parts of my body. Very impressive.

The spa itself has been refurbished, and there are now some amazing new treatments rooms (including a double room for couples/friends).

Worth signing up to their newsletter online so that you get sent a discount code for your first treatment.

It…read moreis stunningly attractive, not only because it offers one of the best views of Birmingham but it is situated in one of the most picturesque spots of the UK. The course is shadowed in parts by massive pine trees, jolly green giants towering above you while you balance your next shot. The greens are superbly maintained by a dedicated team of expert gardeners who clearly take pride in their results. The course is run by Birmingham city council so contact them for more details of this stunning golf course, there might be a waiting list!

All this is put together by a dedicated team on a shoe string budget, I have a friend travel from Oxford three days a week to play at the Lickyhills 130 miles round trip, says a good a test as most private courses nearer home, with the course condition not far removed. Thanks guys
