if you are serious about your health and are self motivated and not needy this is for you, the sister will not save you from all your problems. It is peaceful and they offer absolutely everything you need to detox & destress. It is not pampering luxury but a real health farm. If you want luxury go to the Arabella... more

I've been going to The Hydro for 14 years. I travel thousands of miles from the U.S. and can't wait to get there. I go for my general health. When I arrive, I meet many people just like me who have been coming for years as well as first-timers. I eat a healthy diet, have daily massages and hydrotherapy. There's... more

Very puzzled by some of the recent reviews for the Hydro. The setting is stunning, the staff professional and very friendly, the food excellent as are the treatments, and the rooms very comfortable. For a break from stress it is difficult to imagine a place more relaxing. It is a serious health spa so don't expect a glass of wine... more

The place is shabby and definitly not worth the money you pay. 1. The food is boring and unimaginative 2. The "sister" mainly spoke about how great the baked potato is that that they serve for dinner and took blood pressure. When asked a real medical question about skin allergies she was at a loss. She also has little idea... more

Not as bad as the previous reviewer made it out - but on the whole a dissapointing experience. The place is dated - and the rooms are just not up to modern day standards in either terms of size, facilities or decor. I paid quite a bit extra for a 'Premium Room' - but it was small and depressing -... more

I booked this place with a health kick and a bit of pampering as a pre-wedding treat in mind and also because the website boasted of a team of experts and your stay is "all about you". On arrival, it wasn't clear which was the main door, I noticed scaffolding and some building materials. I thought the exterior looked a... more

This is a response to the review titled “Hydro from Hell” We will respond to each item raised The Renovations Between September and early December 2007, The Hydro underwent major renovations. These renovations were hugely anticipated and provided a much needed improvement to the building. The roof of the main building was replaced, a new reception was built as well...
