Great to hear you enjoyed your experience at The Secret Spa Andy and we look forward to welcoming you back again!
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.
Sarah, thanks so much for your kind words we are really pleased you enjoyed your day out at The Secret Spa!
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
Fantastic experience: Really well organised with an agenda for your day. Tents were great. Fab staff, looked after us really well
Fantastic experience: Les Compagnons du Beaujolais held their « Délices d’Automne » dinner recently with 82 Compagnons and guests. 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 )
Positive experience: Very nice; a bit pricey for what it is.. but worth a trip at least once...lovely landscapes and views...peaceful and calming spa day x
Positive experience: Relaxing and staff are good. Premises are looking tried and neglected.
Fantastic experience: Took my mom here for mother's day and it was superb. Afternoon tea was very good and the whole day was peaceful. Not too many people. Good facilities. Staff extremely welcoming. Treatments on offer have a great range at a decent cost.
Fantastic experience: A high quality spa with efficient and friendly staff. Gym was good with all the equipment you would expect. There was a reasonable sized pool with jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. Varied treatments.
Positive experience: Lovely staff, clean and beautiful. Pool a little small, so no swimming for exercise
Positive experience: Poor service and in need to a facelift. Nowhere near as nice as the hotel
Fantastic experience: A gorgeous oasis in the Yorkshire Dales. My partner an I booked a last minute spa day and enjoyed the experience throughly.
