We have had 3 previous trips to Champneys resorts and thought we understood the service offering. However we are unlikely to stay again. This is not a value for money experience. Aside from being able to walk around in a bathrobe there is nothing different here to a normal hotel with spa facilities. Our fault for not reading the confirmation email when booked but we assumed based on past experience that the use of the spa facilities came with the booking. They didn't. We had to pay an additional £70 each per day of our stay. For this one of the jacuzzi's did not have all the jets working, the large shared sauna was not hot enough, and a small shared sauna was closed. The small shared steam room was also not the best. The fitness classes also now charge a fee. The aqua fit class was disappointing. I find this pricing structure bizarre for this type of resort. In saying that the reception staff member who checked us in and out was wonderful - professional and accommodating. We didn't know until checkout that they resort had provided us a complimentary dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary which was a nice touch. Our New Zealand waiter also demonstrated a good understanding of customer service - some of the other serving staff could learn from him.

The staff and and services were exceptional and the spa facilities were very good - perfect for a day or two to unwind. I would also recommend having dinner at the in house resturaunt as the quality of food was amazing. Great for an overnight stay with a day spa add on for the next day - you get what you pay for

The whole place looked very tired and in need for refurbishment. Poor maintenance. Staff were very laps. It took us ages to check in. Room ok bathroom very dated. Facilities Spa Reception on ground floor 4 people was standing there talking I had to get there attention to get Spa Menu. They just said you need to go upstairs. Outside pool slabs uneven. Pool dirty again very tatty. We ordered food on the terrace. ordered at desk had to wait until he was finishing what he was doing. We ordered simple turkey sandwich and chicken wrap and two juices. Took our number and sat down at dirty table on terrace. Eventually food come. Just one sandwich. he also delivered food to table next to us. He said nothing. Just brought our drinks and again said nothing. We mentioned we are still waiting for wrap. He said yes its coming. 20min later I went in to ask for my wrap, he was busy talking to colleague. He said again yes its coming. I sat down and further 15mins my wrap came. My partner had finished his. In evening booked set menu food was excellent. No fault and service was better but not what you would expect. after our meal we wanted to sit outside with a drink. We ordered drink at bar and girl said she would bring it to us. We sat and chatted. Again 20min we asked girl that passed us do you know where drinks are. She said oh yes one moment please. We sat for a further 10-15mins and decided not to bother. Very dissappointed not Champneys we'd expected.

Costly for average hotel and spar.
Hotel is tired and in need of update. Room was extremely warm making it very uncomfortable to sleep, desperately needs air conditioning. Restaurant food is average, choose well…. Spar is good, but lacks service, if you go in the evening be prepared to bring your own towels. Would I go again - no.

Spa was really good but the rooms was a disappointment in the fact we had two single beds pushed together with separate bedding so our romantic weekend was not so. Breakfast we was left standing around for ten minutes waiting to be seated and then had to go find a waiter/waitress to take our order. Wasn’t very smooth.

Great venue - operationally needs a little love
Unfortunately this trip left a fair bit to be desired. The most notable part was that I was leaving early the following morning and did make the staff aware of this at check-in (no breakfast needed etc) however when I went to leave there was no one trained to do check outs - so I was told I could leave and they would just charge my card for dinner etc (which I didn't get a phone call about or even an invoice sent).

Following morning I had to have shower etc and get ready in dark bathroom.. Informed reception on check out and asked for manager to contact me. Still waiting for contact 8 days later ...

Don’t bother
The hotel is rated as a 4 star establishment, we had to queue for 20 minutes for both lunch and dinner. Paid an extra £55pp to have use of the facilities as you can only check in at 5pm. Took to the spa for a swim and relax, only to be disturbed by an aqua workout session in the main pool for an hour, with a very load instructor and very load music, hardly relaxing. Their Orangery close’s at 5pm so nowhere to go for pre or post dinner drinks. The building is very nice and the grounds are lovely. The reception staff are very good, however we did not stay overnight, left and went home ( 1 hour drive ), would not recommend. £200 for the room £110 to access the facilities, dinner £32pp plus supplement cost I.e. the steak was an extra £9.95, wine was £10.50 a glass 125ml… This is a place that I would avoid all together.
Ordered the steak to be medium, this is what arrived. Spoke with the manager and he said that’s how it comes???
They need to be more pro maintenance.
