Sopwell House
Probably the best spa I've been to. It's beautiful, modern and clean. There's lots of space in the spa area and enough loungers. The outdoor heated pool is amazing. It's very peaceful and is set around some beautiful scenic countryside.The hotel is also beautifully done, the rooms are really lovely and comfortable.The only thing that let's it down for me personally is the food in the restaurant (brasserie). Its very average. We didn't feel that the food really matched the rest of the venue and the kitchen needs to up their game. The restaurant also needs a bit of a refurbishment. Compared to the rest of the hotel the restaurant is tired and dark.I would definitely return but would book dinner elsewhere.

This was our second visit to Sopwell House both times were celebrating our anniversary.The gardens are beautiful.Dennis who is the manager of the brasserie was amazing. The steak was one of the best we had eaten.When we checked out we were served by Harris who was very helpful and polite.The only complaint I have, is that when we had the afternoon tea, which was lovely, we were not informed at the start that we could have more sandwiches if we wanted them.Also we were asked if we would like water a few times, so we ended up having it, we were under the impression it was tap water but was charged £5 on the bill. I think this should be made clearer to the Customer when being served.We hope to return again next year.

The staff at Sopwell, in particular the manager of afternoon tea on Saturday, could benefit from equality/unconscious bias/discrimination training. My group of 6 friends were made to feel unwelcome and faced a few challenges during what should've been a great experience. Firstly there wasn't enough vegetarian sandwiches for us - despite telling them of our dietary requirements weeks earlier when booking. Then we were told we needed to eat quickly and leave (this is at 4.30) and hour before closing. We were then told we couldn't have more than 3 takeaway boxes because they'd run out. When leaving (after basically being forced out) there were still many guests still seated who seemed relaxed and unrushed, and we saw many more takeaway boxes. By some miracle we were kindly offered, some more boxes the next morning, by an Asian male staff member who was the first to actually offer us good customer service. The hotel itself is lovely, everything is clean and rooms are fab. The spa was really relaxing - great pool and facilities. The breakfast was quite basic but the quality of food is above average. We will more than likely return because we won't let the actions of a few individuals affect us!

Our first visit at Sopwell House.Overall we had a nice experience, attentive staff, 2 good options of restaurants for lunch and dinner.The spa facilities were satisfactory but I do believe if you are coming here it is worth paying the extra for the club to elevate your stay. I had a tour the next morning and it would be worth the money to upgrade.Location was perfect for us as it was a short journey of 30mins. Properly wouldn't stay next time just dine and spa for the day.Overall I would recommend this hotel.

Such a fantastic hotel. Beautifully decorated and the staff are so polite and always there to help. The location is very tranquil and there are a few nice walks along the River Ver and around the Hotel Grounds too.The Cottonmill spa has plenty of loungers and also some comfortable upright seating. A large wide pool and 2 hot tubs definitely help with capacity and the sauna and steam room are large too. It doesn’t get too loud, this is down to the design of the roof and walls helping with that.The bars and restaurants are fantastic with a great variety of cuisine and atmosphere too. Even though the hotel was full, we couldn’t tell as the two separate spas and plenty of space in the hotel helps divide some of the guests up. We didn’t eat dinner on-site but breakfast was delicious and made to order omelette was my favourite.I will be planning my next stay soon and will be booking one of the restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will try The Club next time.

My Girlfriend and I went to the Brasserie for our Anniversary and the food was amazing. Service was very impressive with minimal wait times and extremely kind wait staff. After our meal we went into the cocktail bar and the bartender made us the best cocktails we’ve ever had! This place is much much more than a nice hotel, well worth the visit.

Take a cushion, the loungers in the spa are very hard, our bottoms have eventually recovered. The restaurant and bar staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive - we had a lovely afternoon tea during our company's spa day. Best of luck asking for a VAT receipt/invoice, it's like asking for the moon.

Wow! What a gorgeous place. Went for a spa break, the club spa is stunning, spotless, well thought out and well staffed to make sure this is kept and that there is no wait for drinks etc.The hotel is also spotless, the staff very attentive and polite.We had a treatment each which was fantastic definitely the best I have had.All the food we had was also delicious and well presented.Cocktail bar was fab.My only issue was when booking that they took my booking then gave us awful times for our treatments and didn't seem to want to budge, when speaking to other people in the spa this seemed to be their experience too. This was the only issue and was the only reason it wasn't a 5 star review.We would however be eager to return but would just make sure we were able to have treatment times confirmed on booking.
