I agree with the comments below the facilities are ok not the greatest it was absoultely packed at the time when we visited so most of the facilities we were unable to use unless you wanted to be packed in like sardines on a sauana :( not great, the room was ok.
However the dinner and breakfast was over cooked an not nice at all but if there is nothing else to eat you are going to eat it arent you!!
So i suggest if anybody is considering going here go when there isnt deals as thats when it get packed.
A really special day. This was my second visit and I was just as impressed with the venue as I was when I first went in February. Very professional and polite staff, well maintained facilities and a calm atmosphere. My only issue was the lack of catering for those with lactose intolerance, however when asked about the foods available, the staff were very efficient and produced a platter for me to suit my dietary needs. Perfect!
I went to Whittlebury Day Spa in August for the fourth time. I love going to the Twilight Spa, as it is very good value including pasta, a glass of wine and use of the Heat & Ice area. The aqua therapy pool is fantastic, you can blast your achey shoulders with the jets of water which gets rid of knots and makes you feel really relaxed.
The staff are helpfull, and when I had a treatment in the past it was of a high quality.
I would recommend a visit here to anybody wanting a relaxing spa day or spa evening.
I have actually been lucky enough to visit Whittlebury twice now. A few years ago and then more recently following the addition of the Heat and Ice area. The new Heat and Ice area is definitely a welcome edition, making this a true spa experience rather than just a hotel with a pool offering spa treatments. On the downside, the increase in popularity due to the additional facilities and offers, meant that the spa seemed at times too overcrowded; registration was a bit like Picaddiliy Circus and the staff were struggling to cope. This was in stark contrast to my first visit where you really felt like you got individual attention and the service in both the hotel and spa was second to none.
Hopefully this was just teething problems with the new spa! And, having said that I still thoroughly enjoyed the break, the treatments were really good. The hotel rooms are luxurious and comfortable and the restaurant was absolutley excellent quality. This is my kind of Spa Break where you can feel virtuous during the day, but can still enjoy yourself with good food and wine at night!
I would not hesitate to return, a really good spa and hotel that does not break the bank.
Whittlebury Hall is a great venue, which gets you in the mood to relax and unwind as soon as you arrive. The staff were enthusisatic, helpful and responsive to our queries. The facilities were immaculate and the range of 'Spa experiences' impressive. The Gold,Silver and Bronze packages offer the best deal, but were not available over the weekend, so if treatments area part of your 'must have' list go in the week. I went with a group of friends and we all wanted to chat, but - if you were looking for a truly tranquil escape from day to day life the acoustics, combined with numerous groups which inevitably will attend over the weekend make for quite a noisy hubub both in the Spa and the restuarant.
All in all I had a fantastic day and hope to return soon, my one negative comment would be that in and around the Spa area you can only get a drink of water in a very small, conical paper cup - I went home dehydrated and with a headache - I will know to drink a lot more next time!
