Both my friend and I had a great day at Breadsall Priory, we went after Christmas to treat ourselves and a new year pick up and we thoroughly enjoyed the day and would definately recommend it to all friend and family and will definately be booking another one when we are ready for a treat again. The facial i had which was also included in the price was really nice and relaxing.
We had a lovely day at the Breadsall Priory.
We chose the back massage which was very relaxing then we went for a swim and sauna afterwards we had lunch there which finished the morning perfectly a great day out
In my opinion, this is not exactly a spa as such rather a swimming pool with jacuzzi, steam room and sauna, The beauty salon is elsewhere in the hotel in rather cramped rooms. The changing rooms are clean and tidy with a separate area for adults with a nice pamper room with hairdryers and hair straighteners. Now the pool area has a nice ambience, mood lighting etc. however what spoilt this experience completely were the private swimming lessons that were taking place the whole time we were there (early evening). Masses of primary aged children being taught to swim, with lots of parents watching. This was not really what was expected and hardly relaxing. The pool area is small with a couple of cheap plastic garden-like chairs and 2 loungers. One chairs was broken and we witnessed a gentleman get quite injured by this. Although the staff dealt this this quickly and a manager came down to investigate it should never have happened. The facial was good, although as I mentions previously you do have to go to another part of the hotel across a courtyard. As I had paid had only a small sum for both myself and sister-in-law then I cannot complain although if I had paid the hotel rate I would have been disappointed. I would only use this place again if the price was right. hope this helps
really great day, loved the facilities and location, would definately recommend to friends and family. The treatments were really good as well, I felt so relaxed after my massage and would love to go again.
It was unfortunate that a robe was not provided in the price and I feel that this should be included especially for a day pass. The staff were very helpful and friendly which enhanced the experience. The food was nice but a little pricey.
