My sister & I both had the facial and my mum had the massage. All were fantastic and so relaxing! None of us wanted it to end! The only surprise was that I was offered the option to upgrade to Elemis products for £8... I was previously under the impression that these were used as standard as the information I had read only mentioned this brand. The gym, pool and facilities around the pool were excellent. We would definitely all return.
The spa was warm, clean, extra touches like the use of the Elemis products throughout all the hotel for hand and body washes. There was always a friendly cleaner on site. The robes provided were soft not hard towel ones you usually get in some spas. It had a pool, jacuzzi, sun/relaxation beds, a relaxation room before your treatment, an aromatherapy room, salt room, sauna and steam room. We will definitely go back for more ‘us time’.
I have been on several wonderful spa breaks at various venues, however the parsonage was not one i would recommend. The place is tired looking and not the cleanest. The staff in the spa were very uninterested in customer service. On arrival we were given the standard forms to complete and our towel bundle and sat in the lounge, we were sat for about half an hour before we went back to desk to ask when we could enter the spa, she said "oh you can just go" we weren't told where to go or what to do when it was time for treatments etc. In the spa area itself for the entire day all the sunloungers were "reserved" with towels left on them even when the owners of said towels had gone for treatments and lunch, we complained twice to staff about this and another couple also complained yet nothing was done about it even though there were signs up saying its forbidden to reserve beds with towels. The treatments were ok but one of us had a neck,shoulder and head massage which felt as though the girl didn't know what she was doing. Before leaving the spa we had a coffee in the lounge area but when the girl fetched them she didn't bring the saucers which we had to ask for, i realise this sounds petty, but the whole experience felt very unprofessional and as if it was all too much trouble for the staff.
We had booked a spa for 10 people for my sister's hen do. We arrived and received a very warm welcome from the staff where they explained what the plan was. We went for treatments and headed over to the spa. We were there from 9 am till 1 pm and all 10 of us felt amazing after the spa and treatments. Best spa day any of us have had before and would recommend to others! The only negative would be that we all wished we booked Saturday and Sunday! Thank you to all the staff that made our day
I had absolutely fantastic treatments, staff were friendly and the girl that did my treatments was very good.
Unfortunately upon arrival there were little posters placed on the Jacuzzi saying it was out of order, I was obviously disappointed as I’d chosen this location due to the fact that it had a jacuzzi.
I think when you’ve paid for 2 people for a full day , you should be able to use ALL facilities, and when it’s not possible a discount of some kind would have been acceptable .
I do understand during the Christmas period it is harder for things to be fixed hence the reason I believe a discount should have been offered.

Travelling anywhere with a dietary requirement is always tricky and having been let down on many previous occasions we are always a little anxious on trips away, however we were overwhelmed by how helpful the hotel and the staff were and how individual and special they made it for us! A bespoke gf and df cream tea, 3 course evening meal in the Fat Abbot and Full English breakfast! My husband was extremely grateful and we will definitely revisit.
Lovely hotel with lots of different areas to spend time in - the bar, lounge, conservatory and restaurant. A few little niggles such as no coat hangers in the wardrobe, only 2 towels in the triple room rather than 3 and only a small amount of shower gel left. Staff were mostly very friendly and breakfast had everything you could want. Overall the value for money was fantastic.
The spa was beautiful, the dinner and restaurant were amazing, but the staff made our stay. They were helpful and made sure everything we needed was there. There were enough rooms through out the hotel to relax in. The decor was stylish and made it cosy. The room we stayed in was clean and had extra touches like the teas and coffees and Elemis products to use. The bed was comfy and the grounds around were well kept.
Myself and a few friends travelled to the parsonage for a friends birthday and we had a fantastic time, the staff were fantastic and could not do enough for you, very accommodating and did everything possible to make our weekend special, the facilities are great and the spa was lovely and relaxing, the only problem we had was the unbelievably loud snoring from the room next door which was unbearable but that was nothing the hotel could of done anything about, other than that it was amazing and will definitely be returning very soon
