My friends and I booked a spa break here for around £100 per person, which included bed & breakfast, one treatment, use of facilities, and a three-course meal in the Marco Pierre White Italian restaurant.
The hotel and rooms are really nice. The staff at the front desk let us check into the rooms earlier than stated which we really appreciated.
The facilities are nice and had everything that I would personally want: pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, lots of room for lounging. Also plenty of showers dotted around.
For a treatment I chose a 30 minute back neck & shoulder massage because really why would I choose anything else? The masseuse was friendly and professional and the massage was really good. She asked if I had any problem areas and I mentioned that my shoulder had been causing me pain, honestly I can't say she paid any particular attention to that shoulder and it still hurt, though in her defence it wasn't a sports/physiotherapy massage so I can't complain.
The evening meal was really very good. Instead of a price limit which some hotels impose, we had a choice of any starter and any main from the menu - with the exception of possibly one of the steaks? I can't really remember but it wasn't unreasonable.
I went for the ribs, which aren't something I would usually order but had been advertised as the restaurant's speciality so I felt I had to. They were really good. For my main course I had lamb which was cooked to perfection, really delicious.
Breakfast was pretty good. Partly buffet style although the tea and coffee was made fresh and the eggs were cooked for you.
I'd definitely recommend this place for a spa break. read more
