Fantastic experience: Honestly the best spa day I have ever been to (and I have had a few), the tents are great and I really like having an itinerary for the day (I know this is for covid but it should definitely ben kept!), massage was fantastic and a lovely lunch (catered for vegan and veggie beautifully!) And a reasonable price too.

Positive experience: Attended for a quick relax before the birth of our first baby. Our first 45mins was accompanied by a lawnmower, going back and forth right next to our bell tent. The bell tent was visited by wasps constantly, and we were constantly bothered by them throughout the day. I should have researched before coming, but assumed I'd be able to splash out a few quid and get a nice snack on arrival for breakfast, but the offering was crisps, flapjack and brownie. And they only had the crisps in stock. So crisps for breakfast it was! Nice crisps though The setting is nice, the facilities are nice, we managed to relax and make the most of it. Sadly, the experience means we're in no rush to go back

Chef Paul Leonard offered an excellent menu with haunche of venison as the main course.Service and quality of presentation were of the highest standard, complemented by the Compagnons’ selection of wines.(Cremant de Bourgogne, Beaujolais Blanc, Regnié and Chiroubles )
