For lighter options there is also the Linden Tree Pub; and teas, coffees and aperitifs are served in the Monck cocktail bar.

Sauna was off limits, think Covid related which obviously couldn't be helped. Could do with a little TLC aswell but again still a lovely place. Staff were great, very helpful and treatment was brilliant. We changed dates but didn't receive an email with new treatment times, luckily I phoned as the new time was early, which meant a little rushing to get there. Had a great experience, will definitely go back.
We were disappointed when we initially went to the spa as our booking stayed full use of facilities during our stay. However, we were told that due to there being 14 people in the spa we would have to wait in our room until someone left. This was very disappointing as it was the main reason we chose this venue. Once inside the facilities were very good, we enjoyed every area and relaxed a lot. The massages were the best we have ever had.
Fabulous treatments - facial and back and shoulder massage and lovely afternoon tea however the hot tub was out of order which was a huge disappointment especially annoyingto find out that it has been broken for over 2 months bit this was not mentioned during the booking process!!!. Not happy especially as sitting in the hot tub is usually my favourite part of any spa day!
Had the most gorgeous facial from Melissa with a head message also. Really nice treatment rooms. The swimming pool / hot tub and changing areas are a bit tired but the treatments more than made up for it. Thanks to Leo also who looked after us in the restaurant. We had a very tasty afternoon tea and Leo treated up like queens so thank you!
receptionist at spa was very welcoming. explained everything in detail and was extremely sociable. made us feel very relaxed.
pleased to see changing rooms which have not always been available at other locations.
used pool and Jacuzzi and treatments only. therapists were both very good and understood requirements.
cream tea was well presented and very nice. waiter also had time for a little chat and made us feel welcome.

Me and my partner were expecting high standard for food, however we were extremely disappointed. The main course burger was extremely dry and unenjoyable, the area of the lounge bar was in an awkward position as every customer walked past as we were in the hallway. The following morning we did not have high hopes for breakfast, this was made worse as I had a long hair on my breakfast and I sent this back. As such a well established hotel I expected a lot higher standards.
The bedroom was a nice size, however there was noise of a fan outside our room and the room was very hot, we did not want to open the window due to the fan noise and storm. The floor boards were extremely noisy, this became more apparent when customers in the room above us woke and walked around as the noise was very loud from the floor boards meaning if woke me and my partner at early hours.
As this was a birthday present we were highly disappointed and thought this value for money was extremely high.
Was very disappointed with the restaurant for the evening meal. Having visited here a number of times and raved about the quality and presentation of the food, both myself and my cousin were surprised to be presented with a menu of pub food. The quality was sub class and neither of us ate the main dish and the chips were the whitest ones I have ever seen. We were given the opportunity to choose something else but to be honest it all looked pretty dismal.
Breakfast was excellent, pity the evening food was such a massive let down. We did complain on checking out and were told the menu had recently been changed.
My advice to them is change it back and quickly before you lose any more customers.
The hotel is set in lovely grounds with a traditional feel to it. However, the room we stayed in appeared very dated and quite run down. The bathroom door was battered at the bottom and the walls in the room heavily marked.
The restaurant was also quite disappointing. For gen price of the food we were expecting excellent quality, however the hake I had was over cooked and the panna cotta my partner had, wasn’t set and resembled custard. Quite disappointing.
The hotel is nice but smelt damp and foisty!! Areas are modern but other areas need modernising!! Rooms were comfortable but considering we were booked in for 2 be ready for 1.30 our rooms were not ready - so not well organised!! No room around the pool or sauna or hot tub mostly spent in bedroom !! Treatments good👍🏻 Food nice no room for us at breakfast staff very stressed !!
I wouldn’t recommend this spa break to anyone 👎🏻
