We spent 3 evenings at this lovely contemporary hotel/spa and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It is set in fabulous grounds with lakes & wildlife. Within easy reach of lovely countryside & coastal areas. The Spa was quiet during every visit that we made, it wasn't very extensive & the Salt Cave was out of order, but the spa area was spacious...

Left more stressed than when we arrived. Room was Ok, similar in size and layout to a typical Holiday Express or Travel Inn (except they have bigger beds), although extractor fan out of order, shower riser broken and TV remote temperamental. Polite and helpful enough at check in and room ready when we arrived. The building is hideous beyond belief,... More

Just returned from an overnight spa break at Lifehouse. My friend and I have wanted to visit here for a long time but never got round to it. This weekend was the perfect excuse. We arrived early as we wanted to get some lunch before using the spa facilities, arriving at reception at 1pm our room was ready. Room 42... More

The hotel and spa are excellent. The layout is spacious and very relaxing. Spa facilities are very good and not too busy. Great view from the room and the grounds are wonderful. My only negative is the breakfast which is poor for this standard of hotel. Get rid of the luke warm Egggs and bacon and serve at the table... More

My partner booked me in for a full body massage after completing the moonwalk marathon. The massage itself was heaven and I felt so relaxed the whole time, the masseuse was very helpful in explaining how to relax my muscles. The food was delicious and facilities excellent. Will definitely be back!

My friend and I booked an overnight stay and a treatment. We loved the layout and decor of the building. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The food wasn't particularly cheap, but very tasty and well presented. Our room looked out over the gardens and was spacious, clean and bright. I enjoyed my luxury pedicure and the pool and... More

Hubby and I booked a room late as we had a family celebration locally and saw this on late rooms. We didn't have time to use the Spa facilities so cannot comment, however we had a first floor room in the Mulberry and it was lovely, for some reason we were allocated a disabled suite but found the wet room...

Spend one night with my bf. We enjoyed the pool, stream and hydro areas very much. The relaxation room is fabulous for a nice relaxing and even a nap (great sofas and relaxing chairs). We had a lovely dinner and an average breakfast followed by a nice and quiet walk on the park area appreciating the amazing well kept garden,... More
