Overview
We were told this would be the ultimate Spa experience, with its tranquil relaxed chic Cotswold atmosphere, it’s easy on the eye appealing deco, with exposed brickwork, old beams, expensive furnishings, a pampering choice of spa packages, and the delights of the hydrotherapy pool, sauna, steam room, and an all season hot tub facilities in a lovely courtyard terrace garden. Is it disappointing, not on your life, it truly was as they say it will be. Do enjoy being looked after here by a team that’s both welcoming and genuinely friendly, who will support your every need while you relax with their hospitality in a truly stylish spa and hotel, we could not express our thoughts for the spa more clearly. OUR REVIEW The hotel does have its own small car park area over to the left of the main hotel, (1) and a slight uphill ramp needs to be handled (2) with a door handle you need to pull. A long passage that is wide enough for chairs (3) will take you to their reception desk. If you have been visiting the hotel itself, then a passage directly out from hotel is ready for you, leading to a very narrow doorway, (4) I had to get out of wheelchair and fold it up and then push it inside on my own, not the best start, but a warm wee welcome awaits you in the hallway (5) and a delightful Champaign lounge to partake of afternoon drinks awaits, (6) it’s beautiful and nicely decorated. The sumptuous recliners are inviting (7) but to much to see just now, so take a look at their small but well equipped fitness suite (8) before plunging into the warming pool (9) then to cool off step outside to the terrace garden (10) with its own hot tub (just out of sight) then a quick dash to find toilets along the corridor (11) and into the ladies or gents, no disabled toilet I,m sorry (12) and it’s small, but very clean and pleasantly decorated. (13) but as a fella I was not to keen on being laughed at as I stood there. OUR FINAL THOUGHTS Very nice, a lovely Spa with modern facilities, beautiful deco, friendly helpful staff, and spotlessly clean, and still made to feel as if it’s part of the Hotel itself. We would recommend you spoiling yourself here.
Transport & Parking
Plenty of parking for the Spa itself, with its own car parking area, allowing easy access into the Spa itself.
Access
There is a small sloping ramp to get up, easy to manage with Carer, bit of an effort needed for a lone wheelchair user, with a door you must open yourself, nuisance but that’s all. No steps of course, passages wide enough for largest powerchairs. No lift available, but no need for one, it’s all on one floor.
Toilets
There is no accessible toilet, just small ladies or gents, and I found I needed to get up from my chair to make use of their very clean, nicely decorated toilet facilities.
Staff
Really nice people, willing and supporting, they will take care of you.
