Unfortunately we weren't informed that we had to book a swimming slot so we didn't get to use all the facilities. This resulted in no robe or slippers which was all part of the experience. We also weren't asked about time for our cream tea, which when we arrived we were told the time had been picked for us by spabreaks which wasn't suitable as it was before our treatments etc..
Can't fault carnoustie hotel and the food and treatment was amazing but the information from yourselves, Spabreaks wasnt great and resulted in us not getting the full experience.
Will book again but not through Spabreaks.
Very disappointed from arriving stood for quite a while before being attended too, however the member of staff was Very good at showing us around but we were then informed that there were no slippers available meaning we had to walk around in our bare feet (Not happy). Pool area was adequate although we really only used the Jacuzzi as the pool was cold. Lunch was quite novel with the whole lunch was served in a box, but would have liked to have an option to choose something from the lunch menu instead. It appeared the Spa was short staffed as the quiet room was a bit untidy with used glasses lying around everywhere. The therapists were very nice and we both enjoyed our treatments. Overall I have been to better spas and was disappointed considering the famous hotel it was in.
The facilities are lovely & clean & the massages we all received were excellent but the massage room was freezing so they could do with asking if the room temperature is suitable before they start the massages.
3 of the lunches were all fine not great but the Beef Terayaki with noodles was cold & was sent back to be re-heated but still came back cold & could not be eaten which was disappointing as we were there as a birthday treat.
Poor information and welcome from spa reception staff. Therapist had wrong treatment down. Therapy room could have been cleaner. Relaxation room poor - only 3 loungers - one with a broken leg. The rest uncomfortable chairs. Had to ask for a glass for water as they were all dirty and left sitting around. Not impressed.
The treatment was lovely ...
The pool area was a disgrace it was dirty with broken tiles around pool. The steam room wasn’t very hot. The loungers had seen better days.
The changing rooms were tired and the showers trickled and had dirty curtains and dirty floors. The dressing gowns were too small but only one size was offered, not ideal for larger ladies.
The food was basic and served in a plastic box, not what we expected when we booked for a two course lunch. Very disappointed with this overall.
It was my friend's birthday, we went as a group of 5 on the £39 package (full day, all facilities, 30min treatment of choice). 4 of us got the hot stone massage, and one got neck and shoulders. They were really well executed and carried out. Our package didn't include food and we purchased this separately from the bistro. The quantity and quality of the food was really good, and we didn't expect large portions for the price we paid especially at a golf hotel. The sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi were our favourites, the swimming pool was also nice but could have used some water jets or waterfall type structures to make it more spa like than a regular swimming pool. Two friends also purchased additional manicure treatments but were not fully satisfied as they didn't last very long. Overall, we had a wonderful day and would visit again, and recommend this to our friends.
We has as grar time at the Carnoustie spa the staff there were first class and could not be more helpful we even upgraded to have further treatments on the day
The food we had on our visit was excellent also we were so full and relaxed when we got home that all we wanted to do was it and chill in our back garden for the rest of the day.
I would recommend this to anyone who is considering a spa day it www my first but will definitely not be my last
This was a first time purchase for my boyfriend's birthday. He likes the finer things in life but I like to feel comfortable. It suited us both perfectly and we want to go back! The staff were lovely and so helpful, the food was delicious, those boxes are perfect for lunch. The swimming pool is clean and refreshing, the sauna, steam room and hot tub are also well maintained and high standard of cleanliness. I liked how you got a token for a locker, slippers and the rope helped you feel at home. I could have fallen asleep in the relaxation room. We both enjoyed a deep tissue back neck and shoulder massage; I'm pretty sure I heard him snore. I actually felt brand new when I walked out and we both can't wait to go back. Spa breaks made the whole experience super easy and convenient.
Facilities were average - Pool area more like a leisure centre than spa pool. Very noisy kids splashing water over the seats wasn't the most relaxing. Sauna and steam room nice, Jacuzzi wasn't working. Treatments were nice and relaxing. Relax room had dirty glasses on most tables with no fresh ones until we asked. Lunch was very nice with good portions of everything. Don't think it was worth £50 for lunch and a 30 min treatment sitting at a noisy pool.
Staff very friendly and informative. Pool area noisy as several children in so pool not used as very busy. Looks bit tired. Changing room facilities very poor. Only two showers with curtains not glass doors, no shampoo or shower gel in showers to use. Only one very odd looking hair drier, the shelf underneath was falling off the wall so difficult to place brushes , makeup etc on it. Outdated handrier in toilet area. Toilets difficult to flush. Generally changing area felt dirty, was tired looking and requires some thought when updating.

First class hotel, staff, rooms facilities all excellent, the only downfall was our dinner at night which we had o send back because it was not hot enough. The handled the situation very well and the quality of the food was good once it was heated properly. We stayed here 2 years ago and had the same problem
Had a fantastic stay, staff couldn’t have been nicer, however very disappointed in the cleanliness of our room, even when raised with reception the grass that was on bathroom floor wasn’t swept up, and the hairs from razor on glass shelf were still not cleaned although they did remove hairs from sink area. A 4* hotel shouldn’t require a guest to raise these issues, otherwise really enjoyed our stay
We booked two rooms, one for me and one for my Man and sister. Unfortunately, the room my Mam and sister were in wasn't set up as a twin as requested. We didn't want to make a fuss and the room itself was lovely but I was a little disappointed as I had wanted everything to be perfect for Mam's birthday. The rooms were clean and had everything you needed. Bathrooms were pristine and also had everything you needed.
