Our spa day at Whittlebury Hall was such a lovely experience. It was our first time visiting, and being just an hour away made it an ideal little escape. The spa entrance is genuinely impressive, with a grand, Greek‑inspired feel that sets the tone straight away. The receptionist was fine, though not as warm or welcoming as you might hope for in a spa environment. The changing rooms were great, clean, well stocked with ESPA products, and equipped with everything from straighteners to a swimsuit dryer. We really enjoyed the spa facilities. The Heat & Ice experience was included in our package, and the guidance board explaining the recommended order of rooms was a thoughtful touch. Our ESPA Peace and Glow treatment was a standout moment. Poppy carried out my treatment, and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had, she deserves a special mention. The free photo booth upstairs was also a fun surprise. Lunch at 12:00pm was another highlight. The buffet offered an impressive range of options, from salads and meats to sushi and mussels. The desserts were incredible too — the banoffee slice was incredible! The only downside was that smoothies weren’t available, which left limited non‑alcoholic options. We relaxed briefly by the main pool, though the loungers could use an update. The cushions looked a little tired and gave the impression of being worn out. All in all, we had a really enjoyable day at Whittlebury Hall and would definitely consider returning, especially with a good offer.

“Pleasantly Surprised”

I took my partner for her birthday as she enjoys a spa and has visited before - this was all new to me. I was apprehensive at first as this was all new to me but all the staff were super friendly.

I took my partner for her birthday as she enjoys a spa and has visited before - this was all new to me. I was apprehensive at first as this was all new to me but all the staff were super friendly. On arrival, it reminded me of the hotel in Home Alone 2. The gentleman (Ian) on the desk was super friendly and helpful. We then had lunch which was good with a nice variety. Then we made use of the spa - we sat around the main pool which was nice and relaxing. A member of staff (not sure on her name) was really proactive, every 15-20 minutes, she went and removed towels from beds that were being claimed but not used. She explained that they give guests a 15 minute grace period for lunch but after they she removed their tells - props to her! We then used the various saunas and steam rooms which were all really nice. And then onto the jacuzzi, which again was nice and not overly busy - bearing in mind this was a weekend. My partner enjoyed both her treatments she had. Whilst she was having one, outside of the treatment rooms there are little pods with beds, loungers and egg chairs in with net curtains up rather than walls and doors. This surprisingly was my favourite place to chill with the ambient music playing in the background. And you could be nosey and watch people passing by if you didn’t want to close your eyes or read etc. Breakfast and dinner were both superb. For a buffet, the breakfast was outstanding. And the service at dinner was second to none. The room was dated but spacious and clean which is the main thing. The tv’s could do with upgrade to a bigger size too. We really enjoyed the whole day / night, the only negative would be not enough beds around the main pool and people will hog them all day. Other than that, I couldn’t pick fault with anything else.

Mostly positive experience slightly let down with a couple of bits. Firstly the spa area is lovely. Not the best place I have been to but certainly enjoyable experience. The lady who do the treatments was very professional and thorough and ended up being a very enjoyable experience for me and my wife. Food was unbelievable. So tasty. Dinner was amazing. We paid extra for the lamb shank and the rhubarb and custard tart was to die for. The food for lunch was lovely too but 1 thing that grinds my gears is 3 out of 4 of the deserts was VEGAN ffs. Disgusting but the non vegan one was lovely. Breakfast in the morning again very nice and we had it in our room. The room was stunning and came with bottle of wine and prosecco and some popcorn and crisps and dolly mixture. The main thing that almost ruined the experience was a stupid trade show taking all over the whole hotel. Selling ridiculously expensive push bikes. Even to the extent of the hotel lobby you practically had to fight your way past the Lycra brigade and loads of middle aged men laughing. I paid £600 for a relaxing weekend break away and felt like I was on some work function. Very annoying. Even Aston’s restaurant was relocated because of bike guys.

Our family has visited the hotel and spa for the past 12 years and have always enjoyed the experience. The food and rooms are really good value. This year we had a mix up with our evening meal which was swiftly sorted by the restaurant manager and other staff on the night. The service here is always amazing and the staff are friendly and accommodating. Only 4 stars as the pool area was packed by 11am and we had to share space with other spa goers.
