Lovely quiet and massive grounds covered in nature and very well kept, the accomodations were lovely and everything whilst on the higher end price wise was worth every penny. Would happily return. Some of the staff really set the hotel apart by being more accomodating than most

Overnight stay

Lovely one night stay. Unfortunately had a call 10 minutes before we arrived to say the jacuzzi had broken down & would be out of use. We had a 3 coarse meal that was absolutely amazing! Complements to the chef! Only down side - we thought drinks were over priced at £12 for a large glass of wine.

Great Getaway, however you have to checkin at 3pm, bit late as you have to pay extra to use spa facilities before then.

Didn’t like no storage in the bedroom. Only 6 hangers for two of us. Also the menu was too fancy for us so we couldn’t eat there as nothing plain for us and we would have loved to chill in the restaurant and bar area without having to drive out for dinner each evening. Staff were amazing as are the grounds.

Expensive

Expensive for one night. Lovely grounds to explore if weather ok. Spa area was nice, quite busy. Nice to see staff removing towels from loungers regularly. Nice evening meal. Nice touches made for partner's birthday.

All facilities were good. Would not go back though… for slice of cake £4.50!!! Everything was extremely expensive. I was very shocked at prices for everything, especially food and drinks. Outrageous!!!😡

Great spa facilities. Quiet lication to catch up with rest and also the building was not noisy in the bed areas. Loved the policy to be able to breakfast in the hotel dressing gowns or one's sports wear.The gardens made it for us. Very botanical with lots to spot and history. Great walks just beyond the gardens if you wish to walk off the calories! Dinner menu wasn't great so we ate out each night, including one at the very good Bangladeshi/Indian restaurant in the village. Breakfast was ample with choices but created a lot of guest movement to the counter area. Providing trays may help abate this, perhaps? One downside still to be resolved is the alcohol order on our tab at checkout, that we had never ordered. Otherwise would return for the spa facilities, informality and gardens in a different season.

Great weekend away

Hotel was really nice and we had a great time. - None of the hotel is air-conditioned. We stayed on a really hot weekend and everywhere including our room was absolutely baking! - Spa was great although not really big enough for the size of the hotel, given that everyone is there to use it. - The quality of the food in the restaurant was great but the service was really slow for most of the time we were there. Most of the staff were pretty young and so we put it down to inexperience. Overall we had a great time, although it lacks many of the finishing touches both in terms of the quality of the hotel and the service that would make it quite worth what it costs to stay there.

A pleasant and relaxing weekend...

My daughter and I enjoyed our spa weekend. We received a very warm welcome including a map and instructions to find our way around. The staff were very pleasant. The grounds are lovely and the ambience was relaxing with everyone walking around in their robes. Our room was spotless with a lovely big shower room and we loved the luxurious toiletries supplied, they smelt wonderful. Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice, tho' the queue was a bit slow for hot food as only one person was serving. We got up early Sunday morning for a swim, had breakfast then we had the Relaxation Room to ourselves, a complete winner. Some of the Spa area facilities were not working properly. The sauna did not get very hot, the salt room wasn't very salty and the cold plunge pool was empty Sunday morning. The Spa area is rather dull with grey walls and black loungers, some decorative changes could improve the ambience here, it doesn't scream luxury. Fortunately the weather was good so we tended to use the loungers outside. A few loungers dotted around the grounds would be nice for a bit of quiet contemplation or reading. One small off putting note, was the little signs everywhere, to 'not take hotel belongings home'! Overall we did enjoy our stay and would recommend this hotel.

Overpriced

The hotel and spa was not what I expected . In arrival I was asked to make payment when I said I have already paid … the guy at reception says “well it says here I need to take payment” I got up my online banking to prove payment had been made. This started it all off quite badly . We then made our way to our room that was very basic and there was chewing gum down the toilet and the toil base was stained. Service at the bar was terrible , we ordered drinks and was told they would brought over to us. We sat and witnessed a big group make an order and receive their drinks before ours also two other couples . I had to go to bar and point this out to get our drinks. I was told that the delay had been because they had no milk and need to get this. Yet no one thought to mention this. We went out to a local pub for dinner and had an amazing meal thankfully we did go out because the pub made my weekend. Breakfast was nice and well organised at the hotel. I have stayed and plenty better places than this for a fraction of the price and wouldn’t recommend to anyone

Staff lack training

The stay was very pleasant, the grounds were a massive highlight but there were a couple of things that were not up to standard. Firstly, every single member of staff was smiley and nice but there knowledge of the hotel was not up to standard… every single member of staff from the waiters, reception, spa therapist had poor knowledge of the hotel and it’s facilities. For example the receptionist tried to upsell an room upgrade to us but didn’t have a clue on the rooms specifications… the spa therapist hadn’t a clue on the spa operating times(although very easy to find out but nonetheless they still hadn’t a clue) and the restaurant staff were honestly very clueless. The food was just appalling- everything was served with chips or sweet potato fries- with those prices you expect something more refined and upmarket not pub food that has everything with chips. Also considering it’s a spa the food should be a little healthier. The rooms were absolutely roasting- they did provide us with a fan but it would have been better if we could open our door on a latch but the door wasn’t capable of doing so, so we were very hot and had to leave the door open in an attempt that no wildlife would enter our room. Finally- we had already prepaid for this trip and upon our check out the receptionist gave us a bill not knowing we had already paid for the trip- but this just brings me back to the first point that staff have very limited training and are very clueless.

So So

Lifehouse Being a £190 a night hotel I expected more. It was so hot in the room. Even travelodge has aircon. Having only a small noisy fan just didn’t cut it. I didn’t sleep a wink and spent the whole night tossing and turning. The bed sheets had stains on them. The tv had no guide So you had to go through each channel and guess what was on. A fridge in the room would be nice. Again, most budget hotels have them. The aircon and the fridge issues I wish I’d have asked about previous to booking. I did just presume that a luxury spa hotel would have the basics? The bathroom wasn’t up to scratch. Firstly, If you were having a bath, the shampoo/cond/shower gel is really high up so you either have to get up or stretch to reach it. The tap panel had come loose. There was a bit of brown stuff stuck to the floor (I hope it wasn’t what i thought it was). £15 for room service! After paying almost £200 to stay in a room as hot as the sauna?? Surely not. I had planned a lovely dinner to enjoy in my room whilst watching a movie but I went without and went hungry till breakfast. I didn’t fancy the restaurant as I was staying alone. The spa facilities were ok. I really do think they could up their game a bit though. It looks like a school swimming pool area. Nothing luxury about it. Lots of tiles missing on the pool. Most loungers were reserved with towels, it was so noisy in there from groups. Relaxation room was full of people chatting away
