This was our second visit to this Spar, having been 12 months ago. On both occasions the sauna and steam room was out of order, which was a huge disappointment on both occasions. The pool is nice and a decent temperature, though the ambient temperature was too cold to really relax poolside. The locker rooms were shoddy with doors hanging off several lockers, and the whole venue had an air of neglect. I had to go looking for staff in the main hotel to get any service. The treatments where excellent, and the food was good, but the poor maintainance of the facilities let this down. We won’t be going back.
The treatment itself was fantastic, very relaxing, felt amazing when I came out. The sauna and steam room was out of order and nobody informed us, (however there was one in the ladies changing facilities but again weren’t informed). Other than a glass of water, we were never offered drinks in the 3 hours we were waiting for treatments and using the facilities. For afternoon tea, the food was great, tasty and filling. Staff were non existent, and there was a wait for refills on hot drinks.
We made ourselves enjoy this day because we had looked forward to it. I had a phonecall on the morning to say the therapist was off sick. They got a new one in but not till 2pm. We only had 2 treatments not 3 but they did give us lunch. The ladies showers were having a refurb, only shower available to us was wide open, no toilets either. The sauna was out of order. The steam room could have done with a refurb too as mould all over, as there was in other areas too. the pool and jacuzzi were fine. Overall facilities were disappointing. Also access to the building not well signposted once in car park and car park was flooded with rain so very muddy. Part of me felt it was an add on that needed updating. Looked like a very good gym but didn't use
My friends and I went for a spar day as a birthday treat, the staff were very friendly and helpful the treatments were superb, food was lovely the hotel and spa had everything we hoped for. we would be happy to recommend and will absolutely be returning. Thank you very much for a lovely relaxing experience.
When I booked my Spa day over the phone I wasn’t told that Sunday was also parent and toddler day so imagine my horror when I saw the children in the pool and the noise they were making! This trip was meant to be a relaxing Spa day for my friends Birthday.
The overall appearance of the facilities is ‘tired’ and in need of a good refurbishment. There are two steam rooms and two saunas both of which are quite small, at one point there was three of us in the steam room and it felt like we were practically sat on each other’s knees!
The pool was a decent size as you were able to swim the length of it (once the toddlers had gone). The Jacuzzi was also a good size and in working order.
We had booked the Refresh & Revive experience so received a Back, neck and shoulder massage and also a facial. No faults here, the treatments were very good and relaxing and the ladies were very pleasant.
Included in the experience was lunch, unfortunately they had run out of Avocado for my Chicken & Avocado Wrap. The food was good but pretty basic.
We were there between 10.30-15.30 and during all that time there was no toilet paper in the one toilet that was open at the entrance to the leisure facilities. Regular checks should be carried out to check for things like this and their cleanliness.
We had both been looking forward to a nice relaxing day at what appears to be a nice hotel in a lovely setting but unfortunately we were both left rather disappointed.
