Hotel & Accommodation
A Victorian country house in Taunton, the Cleve Spa has all the charm and Cotswold stone from nearby counties that you could ask for. The converted home has 20 rooms across the ground and first floors, which have retained many of their original features, and including Premier rooms, which are ideal for families or business travellers on longer stays, who may need a little more space to accommodate work.
The restaurant at The Cleve offers a menu that comprises a catalogue of international fare catering to a variety of palettes and preferences. There is a distinctly Italian accent to many of the dishes, but whatever you opt for, you can be assured that it is locally produced, right down to the Lovington’s ice cream.

Before we arrived at the spa I booked an additional treatment for me and my mum to have after the Bliss treatment through the package but when we arrived this wasn’t on the system and we weren’t able to have this on the same day, the staff advised we could have it the next day but unfortunately it was on the day we were checking out. Spa facilities are a little spread out but all clean and tidy, the relaxation room is lovely. Treatments were nice although the treatment room was a little chilly.
A lovely experience :-) I had the Bliss Treatment which was heaven!! My therapist Siobhan was very nice, always asking if I was ok and making sure the pressure of the massage was ok for me.
The spa itself could do with a bit of a touch up with regard to decor (ceilings and walls) but this in no way impacted on our time there. Good facilities, nice relaxation areas with complimentary hot and cold drinks. I would recommend this spa :-)
Reception staff very nice showed us around the place. Had a look around before our treatment. Called in for treatment the young lady failed to tell me her name. Didn’t offer me a choice of oils. Told me to breath deep as there was something under my nose? Wasn’t asked throughout the massage if the pressure was ok? It was a pleasant massage but didn’t get into the muscles at all. Only using one hand most of the time when doing my back did not feel she went low enough either.
I only found out the difference in the options when I spoke to my sister later in the day. As we went together and she appeared to have a choice of oils lavender or lime and a far superior massage to mine. Our day came with lunch. It all looked lovely on a wooden board, then the soup arrived in a mug not sure if it was warm when it should’ve been cold or warm when it should’ve been hot? The temperature was very tepid. I couldn’t eat it as it was far too spicy for my taste. (A personal choice). Between my sister and I we couldn’t decide what the flavour of the quiche was it was very bland. The cheese was tasteless as was the ham,which was also chewy. The only saving grace was the bread roll which was delicious. We used the sauna jacuzzi and pool plus other relaxing rooms. Couldn’t use the steam room as it wasn’t working but didn’t have any sign telling us this. It was too late to tell anyone as we were due to leave so didn’t waste our time trying to find someone. Overall I have had much better massages and lunches. I enjoyed my day with my sister but came away disappointed.

The main hotel is beautiful. There’s an add on flat roofed part that detracts from the beauty of the main building. This part does feel dated and out of place. The garden is a lovely place to relax with great views.
The restaurant served great food but the service was very very slow. We waited 50 minutes for dinner. They did knock off the price of a glass of wine and they did apologise but they weren’t very busy. The restaurant was playing spa music at dinner too - could have changed the atmosphere a bit with some different music.
Breakfast was lovely, nice setting. But again very slow service.
