Lovely stay but don't think I will go on a Saturday night again. You get more value for money midweek when it's less busy.

We enjoyed our stay at Lifehouse spa. My friend and I go every year. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, my friend particularly enjoyed the summer salad with chicken. We enjoyed the sun in the spa garden and the cocktails and wine. Thanks again Lifehouse, we will be back next year!

We went here as a surprise 60th celebration. The room was given a personal touch with towel swans, petals and a card from the hotel. These were garden rooms with a small terrace, which were great to enjoy the sunshine and pleasant surroundings, with a cup of tea or glass of wine. Great facilities and very clean. Food and cocktails were fabulous, as was the service. This was my second time at the hotel spa, and it did not disappoint. We will definitely be back.

We had a really lovely stay to celebrate the end of my daughters exams. The hotel knew this and put a personalised note on my daughters bed congratulating her which I thought was a really nice touch from them. The hotel grounds are amazing, the food was good and we really enjoyed the spa, although parts around the pool areas are starting to look a bit tired and in need of some TLC but it didn’t affect our enjoyment of it. The massages we had were also really good too. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and a really lovely time together. We would definitely return.

I was taken by my daughter as a Mother’s Day gift. As soon as we got there we were given a robe and flip flops. We had booked a back massage and facials, both of which were amazing. It was a lovely sunny day, so we sat by the lake in their immaculate gardens. In the afternoon, we had afternoon tea, which was so good. The place is so clean and tidy. All the staff in all departments were very attentive and polite. I would not hesitate to recommend the spa and surrounding ground, we had a really nice day and I will definitely be going back.

One of the best spa's I've visited. We had a garden room with its own patio, beautiful views of the surrounding gardens. Dinner was top quality. Such a relaxing atmosphere and will definitely come back. Saturday was busy but Sunday was better with lots of availability for treatments.

An amazing little get away from the stresses of life. I can’t go away for a long time at the moment so this was just perfect. The staff were all so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The food and drinks were amazing. We upgraded and both treatments were the best we have had (and we have massages and facials regularly) yes some parts need updating and it was getting busier near the weekend but it was still an escape from a difficult life and just perfect . The grounds were spectacular and we will be coming back . We just loved living in a bathrobe for two days.

We used a voucher for an overnight stay with dinner and breakfast. The spa is lovely in a nice location but it does seem to be quite overpriced for what you get. Our room was nice but very plain and simple. A couple of bottles of water would have been nice. There could also have been a bit more attention to detail as there were spiders and cobwebs in the corners of the room, chipped furniture and walls, the little cards with info in the bathrooms had clearly been reused a lot as they were crumbling and water stained. The restaurant was nice with a good dinner menu selection but unfortunately our food was overcooked and there didn’t seem to be many staff members so we did have to catch their attention to order more drinks. Our 3 courses were included in our voucher but naturally that didn’t include drinks or side dishes for our main courses. It did seem a bit steep to pay £6 for a rocket side salad. Breakfast was also nice but not dissimilar from a lot of hotel buffets. Overall, it was a relaxing stay but it does need some modernising and some attention to detail to warrant the prices charged. Had we not been using a voucher, we would have felt overcharged.
