We're always looked after as members thanks to Mike, he's exceptional. From the moment we arrive, he's attentive, friendly, and incredibly polite. He anticipates our coffee needs without being intrusive and makes us feel genuinely welcome. He always welcomes you with a warm smile and super professional. He always makes sure everything is to your satisfaction. It's rare to receive such natural & positive service in the UK. Thank you for always going above and beyond – we’ll of course be back ;)

Another great class today with Matt Robinson. He really knows his stuff and puts you through your paces. He varies all his classes every week and we always feel great after. Good work Matt

I attended Matt Robinson’s classes today and the amount of time he puts into the preparation of every exercise regime is very evident. He spends the whole class checking everyone’s posture and ensuring that nobody injures themselves with incorrect movements. All exercises offer a variety of levels so that the classes are suitable for all abilities and ages. He is genuinely interested in every individual and it’s the closet you can get in a class to having a PT session. I am recovering from a broken arm and Matt made sure that I was helped with rehabilitation and encouraged to push myself to my ability without causing injury. I would thoroughly recommend these classes and Craxton is lucky to have him.

The instructors at the gym are great, especially Matt who plans his classes well and makes everyone feel welcome. He is very informative and understanding and takes the time to help all attendees. Also Tammy who does great boxercise and step classes among others, and makes them fun and suited to all levels. Other staff are also very friendly and helpful, particularly Sharon who does a brilliant job of keeping the facilities clean and shiny, need more Sharons!

Lovely hotel with spa but made even better by the amazing friendly, caring staff! Very clean and tidy, with lovely relaxing areas to unwind. Beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Jonathan who served us lunch, Emma and Lilly who did our treatments in the spa, deserve a special mention for going above and beyond in providing customer care. Thank you.
