Ardencote’s former Victorian Coach House was transformed to combine tradition with contemporary design, and in 2018 it has been further transformed ensuring that it’s at the cutting edge of contemporary spa and leisure experiences. Now with The Destination Spa at its core and home to a 5 Bubble Rating by the Good Spa Guide, it is a light and airy space that you can enjoy in a robe and slippers from the moment you arrive. A carefully choreographed thermal journey, The Destination Spa takes you through an aromatherapy steam room, Himalayan salt sauna, a tepidarium, an outdoor Tyrolean Kilo sauna, an outdoor hot tub, outdoor heated pool, a monsoon shower, foot spa and ice fountain followed by a relaxation lounge and a tranquility lounge.
Meanwhile, the spa’s pre-existing facilities remain intact, giving you a wealth of experiences to enjoy while you’re here. They include an indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, gym, three floodlit tennis courts, squash courts and a dance studio hosting classes including yoga and Pilates.
When it comes to treatments, the spa uses a fusion of Elemis, Fake Bake, and Jessica products to offers a veritable feast of therapies. Choose from massages and rituals inspired from a wealth of global practices, as well as facials, manicures and pedicures. Also available are CACI non-surgical facelifts and micro-dermabrasion.
Please note: the outside seasonal pool will only be open in spring and summer.

It was very disappointing . We were not taken round the spa and only found some facilities when we were leaving the hotel. We could not get a drink outside and wondered the hotel to find a drink. There was no one to direct us or tell us what was what and where things were. The treatment was ok , but I asked to use the toilet and was told well you don’t have time as this is your treatment time .The girl doing the treatment was ok but I did not feel relaxed as I was waiting to go to use the toilet. It was not a good experience.There was no relaxation time after the treatment we just got left to get dressed and leave . There was no customer service .sorry we did not enjoy our experience.
Good clean facilities and a very enjoyable day in the spa.
Food and the restaurant was a huge let down. It was little more than a pub lunch. Previously when I have been to Ardencote it was a Buffet. Today was a tiny bowl of curry...query microwaved, rice and hard dry flat bread. No vegetables or salad. No desert option, would have liked at least the option of some fruit. Seems restaurant is being run by Greene King pub chain and their tills "don't connect to the spa or hotel tills". A bit of a let down and not a lunch I would expect on a spa day.
It was a good experience but with a little tweaking could be a great experience.
On arrival we were given our robes and towels and an instruction card with timings for our treatment and lunch etc, we were not given a code for the door to the outside pool as we found out later and were stuck on the inside looking out longingly until some kind soul helped us out, we also saw other people having the same experience. We also were not told that there was a cashless system in place or where to obtain drinks, after all hydration is important whilst in a spa location.
Treatments were excellent but very short, 25 minutes is not very long when you are just getting to feel relaxed. My husband was disappointed when he was given a massage by a man and would have preferred to be asked prior to the visit.
Our time in the destination spa was for two o’clock, although we had instructions it was disappointing that no staff member was there to explain things, but we muddled through and it was very enjoyable, not once did I see any of the items being wiped down but we did see a staff member walking around with a cloth so maybe we just missed that.
Outdoor and indoor pools were a bonus and the outdoor jacuzzi pool was wonderful.
Lockers were plenty big enough toilets needed more regular staff presence as discarded sanitary item packs/wrappers scattered around, not nice to see.
More attention to detail and it would be great.
The spa was fabulous it was very modern and had the most amazing outdoor hot tub. Our treatments were brilliant- having said that my husband was in an upstairs treatment room which he said was quiet with relaxing music. My treatment was in the spa area with no music so wasn’t as relaxing as it should have been.
The new destination spa is fab, we had a Brill time. It was busy on the day we went but that didn't stop us making full use of the facilities. There's so many things to do, we were kept busy all day. I had a massage and the therapist listened to me and did it exactly how I wanted. The spa and hotel were very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a lovely spa break. The food was yummy as well. Great cocktails at the bar.

Hotel setting was beautiful, hotel rooms were clean and spacious and covid wrapped items were in place, bed was luxurious. Food was good, although no drink included in light lunch, but water was offered after we queried drink available. No cash was taken and as we were spa guests we didn’t have any facility in a dressing gown to carry a credit card around and you couldn’t charge to your room which was very odd. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful.
There were not a lot of places to sit and relax inside the hotel, one lounge just quite near to where our room was looked very inviting overlooking the outside pool, but this was locked.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay.
I hotel room was clean and well equipped. We would have liked a fridge in the room so that I could store my insulin, it wasnt a problem because i only stayed one night, but if it was a week i would have needed to find somewhere else to store it.
The spa was clean and very well maintained. We had the best girls trip.
It’s an odd layout and was a bit confusing when I got there.
I’d requested a large bed as my partner is large and I wanted a good night’s sleep. The upgraded room was nice but the bed wasn’t large.
It’s a nice place but not modern.
The staff were extremely helpful and couldn’t have been better, especially in the restaurant where the food was amazing.
The hotel was really tatty around the entrance and then the walk down to our rooms. Rooms OK and restaurant and food great. Really professional restaurant manager.
Spa was OK. Not really kept clean and tidy during the day. Stuff left around to build up, like towels and drinks. I thought it wasn't particularly clean, lots of scum on the surface of the water of the pool and bubbly bath, the steam room smelt too and there wasn't a hose in there to wash down the seats after use. The treatments were great and the staff who did them very professional. The spa wasn't very clean at all though apart from the new additional area that was nice. I don't think I would go back again for the spa.
