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

My daughter and I spent 5 nights here on a 5:2 detox break. The hotel was well kept, the gardens and natural ponds beautiful and great to walk around with the ducks and their ducklings and the pheasants. Food was very good, plentiful and well presented. Restaurant manager was exceptional. The spa treatments were good if a little restricted. Swimming... More

Just returned from a weekend at the Lifehouse Spa. We had an amazing room in the Mulberry Gardens, brilliant location, right in front of one of the many duck ponds. Unfortunately, there had been a previous spillage in the room and it smelt very damp. On the other hand the sun was shining so the only time we spent in... More

I recently visited this spa for the first time. The environment seemed quite nice but I think the management need to rectify a few issues. My first complaint is that the juice bar did not have any oranges even thought the orange pressing machine was in view. I would have thought that oranges were a key ingredient at a juice... More

Stayed for a luxury week end after some local friends raved about the spa facilities. Thinking it was a luxury venue we booked in for the bank holiday week end. We are quite honestly disappointed. Very poorly trained staff and massive lack of hotel facilities. No mini bar, rooms really do like and feel like a budget hotel, staff never... More

I experienced the Lifehouse Hotel & Spa for one night only with a friend recently and I enjoyed the experience. The design of the hotel was great and my bed was comfortable enough and the shower was excellent in our room. The Jacuzzi, salt inhalation room and steam room area was very nice and the gym had enough equipment in... More

Having been to other spas this seems to be trading on some idea that you can charge a fortune and provide very little. The rooms are very pleasant and well appointed. There is no bath in the room. As with most hotels the room was way too hot and we had to open the doors to the garden to cool... More
