Breakfast, for a buffet, was delicious. Good quality ingredients and morning staff were polite and friendly. My room was spotless. Staff on reception were so lovely and welcoming! I remember the guy from last time. Also in the bar and restaurant area in general the staff were lovely.

The spa is quite rundown when you look up and around and has been for a few years now as I am a returning customer and have noticed no changes.. Spa reception staff could be friendlier and helpful however my treatment lady was so warm and welcoming. Bottled Water in the room would be nice considering the price for the night.. The charge for early spa access I found quite steep considering I was only a little early for room check in..

Spa facilities good, the dinner menu is inventive & the quality of service, food, cooking & presentation was exceptional.

Breakfast choice is very good but I found the majority of the hot breakfast food overcooked & I had to order & wait for fried eggs for 5 minutes on both mornings; no sour dough bread available on second morning, was told it was still in the freezer! Price of wine bordering on extortionate but, unfortunately, that's quite usual these days! Compared to other spa's we've visited, the cost of spa treatments are expensive. Some of the more sophisticated treatments are around £150+ but we baulked at paying £99 each for a basic, 50 minute back & neck massage & we didn't bother this time!

Expensive food and drink.

ROOM WAS A VERY GOOD SIZE, WASNT EXPECTING IT TO BE SO BIG. IT WAS VERY HOT IN THE ROOM THOUGH AND CORRIDORS, EVEN THOUGH IT WASN'T WARM OUTSIDE, WE WENT END OF SEPTEMBER. SPA FACILITIES WERE EXCELLENT, REALLY ENJOYED THEM. THE FOOD WAS ALSO GOOD, THERE COULD'VE BEEN A BIT MORE CHOICE. BREAKFAST WAS VERY GOOD AND HAD PLENTY OF CHOICE. ALL STAFF AND SERVICE WERE EXCELLENT. THE GROUNDS ARE LOVELY TO WALK IN. WE WILL VISIT AGAIN

THE HEAT IN THE ROOM, WE CERTAINLY WOULDN'T ENTERTAIN THE IDEA OF GOING IN THE SUMMER IT WOULD BE UNBEARABLE EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A FAN IN THE ROOM. COULD'VE DONE WITH A WINDOW EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS FRENCH DOORS, WE COULDN'T HAVE THEM OPEN WITH THE CURTAINS OPEN OR PEOPLE COULD SEE IN AND IF THE CURTAINS ARE CLOSED (AT NIGHT) YOU WOULDN'T FEEL THE BENEFIT

friendly and helpful staff, clear guidelines so, as first time guests, we knew what the expectations were and what to do! Lovely Spa area, very well maintained by leisure assistant who clearly took pride in her work. Comfortable room, nice grounds. Good breakfast. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere. All the practical aspects had been considered to make the stay as easy as possible.

The exterior of the accommodation building is concrete and water stained and gives a poor first impression as well as spoiling some views from the garden. once inside, all is lovely but the outside really needs some attention, either cleaning, painting or cladding. The vegetation options for main course at dinner were disappointing. The “cassoulet” is actually a very mild vegetable curry and the Wellington is a vegetable lattice pie/pasty. The gnocchi was ok but would have benefitted from a side salad (would have needed to order separately). It looked like more attention had been given to the meat dishes and the desserts and the lunch options looked good although we didn’t eat lunch.

The hotel is excellent - bedrooms are comfortable, spotless and have great views over the beautiful gardens. Spa facilities are excellent. Food is always fabulous. When not using the spa, gardens are lovely to explore.

No mini fridge or bottled water in the room. Hotel temperature roasting on a hot Summer day when you would normally be walking around the hotel / spa in a robe but it was much too warm. Bedroom was also very warm even with windows open. Food service was not great - for example potatoes ordered with the main course did not turn up at all and port ordered with the cheese course did not arrive with the cheese.

Breakfast was fairly standard hotel breakfast, Room was contemporary,large, comfortable bed and fabulous view overlooking a stunning garden, with lakes and trees. The staff were efficient and friendly.The hotel has lots of seating areas where you can just read a book. The grounds are extensive , the spa was busy during the day, but you could swim, early morning and late evening.

The room was missing a fridge. Swimmers would appreciate an outside pool.

The gardens were beautiful. Sun terrace, treatment rooms. Excellent massage. Plenty of towels provided. Lovely view from our ground floor room.

No distinction between hand soap, shower gel and shampoo. Very hard to press flush on the toilet. End corners of the bed stuck out causing you to bang into them. Both of us knocked out knees several times Lack of choice with evening cuisine. Italian only. Breast chicken dry, a bit overpriced

Beautiful grounds, lovely staff, nice Spa.

Slow check in.....Check out was queuing for 20 mins. This is always the same.....They need to get more staff or introduce a key drop box system for clients who have not added anything to the room.....Returning Robe to reception also not acceptable.....Have enough stuff to bring down, let alone Robes!.......I asked for a Wine glass at the bar & was refused.....Astronomical to charge £10 for an Ice bucket

I love the grounds at Lifehpuse spa Allso the facilities are good have been here at least five times

The check in time is quite late so if you only book a one night stay everything feels rushed. Couldn't get any treatments the same day . Had them in the morning and if you want to continue using the spa there is an add on fee of £29 per person they said its because we booked threw bookings.com so your better of booking 2 night stay.
