The property features an array of top-notch indoor and outdoor spa amenities, ensuring guests can indulge in a pampering experience tailored to their needs. I was thrilled when the team invited me to review this iconic setting alongside my partner. PURE BLISS We had a fantastic time at the spa! The cosy ambience instantly relaxed us, enhanced by soft music and the scent of essential oils. The friendly staff ensured our comfort, starting with a refreshing elderflower spritz and a tour of the facilities. We began in the Outdoor Spa Courtyard, enjoying drinks and snacks by the heated vitality spa pool and the Kelo sauna, which offered soothing heat and stunning countryside views. The Relaxation Lounge, with cosy sofas and blankets, was perfect for curling up with a good book. Next, we explored the Indoor Spa Area, which included a serene swimming pool and a eucalyptus-infused steam room. Heated loungers eased our tension, and the experience shower revitalised us with bursts of cold mist and tropical rain. I particularly enjoyed the reflexology footbaths and the hydrotherapy pool with overhead jets to help soothe aching muscles. REST YOUR HEAD We enjoyed our time in the Studio Suite, which complemented our luxurious spa getaway perfectly. The suite’s design seamlessly blended modern aesthetics with cosy charm, creating a perfect sanctuary for relaxation. The comfortable furnishings invited us to sink in and unwind, while the deck area offered a space to bask in the fresh air, making it the perfect spot to enjoy our morning coffee or unwind with a glass of wine in the evening. The bathroom was a true oasis, and we were delighted to find it stocked with Noble Isle products, adding an extra luxurious touch. At the end of the day, we retreated to the sumptuous king-sized bed, allowing us to drift off easily and wake up feeling rejuvenated. TO DINE FOR Dining at the newly updated Oak House is a true delight. Set by a picturesque lakeside, the restaurant features a menu emphasising local and seasonal ingredients. We started with Korean barbecue chicken tenders, perfectly marinated and topped with crispy spring onions and zesty ginger. For the main course, I had the classic beer-battered fish, expertly fried with a golden crust, served with crispy triple-cooked chips, rich homemade tartare sauce, and fresh pea purée. The attentive service enhanced our experience, with friendly staff providing recommendations. The following day, I savoured a delicious vegetarian full English breakfast featuring plant-based sausage, mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, a crispy hash brown, baked beans, fresh spinach, toast, and scrambled eggs – a fantastic start to the day. PAMPERING TIME We were lucky to enjoy a treatment each, which was nothing short of heavenly. The treatment rooms were beautifully decorated, and the soft lighting added to the tranquil ambience. I indulged in a luxurious hot stone massage that melted away all my stress and tension thanks to the skilled therapist who was attentive to my needs, customising the treatment to ensure I received the utmost care. Afterwards, we were invited to relax in the Sleeping Lounge, a dark and quiet setting.
