The Elms Hotel & Spa

We had a luxury day spa experience with our elderly Mum, ending in afternoon tea. It was fabulous. Facilities are lovely, Temple Spa products are gorgeous but what makes The Elms stand out is the staff. Everyone was smiley and helpful - meaning everyone had a fabulous time. I would strongly recommend.

Refers to a very enjoyable dinner. Wow this place has changed but the somewhat funky decor in a Queen Anne mansion does work! Full and rightly so on a Monday evening because of a lively vibe, warm service and imaginative dishes from a short menu. Delivered well on the plate and priced appropriately: good to see it doing well

Lovely, quirky hotel with comfy beds and large rooms. Everything you could need here incl apples and choc in the room. The spa was amazing and the only criticism I could find is that there weren’t enough seats around the pool for relaxing after using the wet areas. The hotel and spa was very clean and the decor so lovely. Will be coming back for certain. This is my new favourite spot

The hotel is stunning, it has the wow factor as soon as you walk in. The decor is outstanding. Although it cost £10 for a tea and latte it was enjoyed on a very comfortable sofa in front of a roaring fire. Food in the restaurant was lovely and reasonable (ish) compared with the drink prices. I only wish our stay could have been an over night one as I would have loved to see the rooms. I would highly recommend this place for a family get together or birthday celebration as it feels very special with a luxurious feel to it.

We came to The Elms Hotel & Spa as a Christmas present for my partner. We both throughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to a friend and come again. We stayed in a comfy room which was plenty big enough for the two of us, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was HUGE. We had full access to the spa from check-in until check-out which was lovely. We especially enjoyed the sauna, steam room, hot tub & I think aromatherapy shower (not entirely sure on the name but it’s basically that). One of the best spas we’ve been to so far! We also had a reservation in the Badgers restaurant which was absolute luxury! I would warn be careful on the added extra costs such as bottled water and sharing breads as we didn’t realise that they were extras until our bill came at the end. If we’d have known about the bottled water charge we would have asked for tap water. The food however was fantastic and we were recommended a lovely bottle of wine to accompany our meal which finished it off perfectly. Food for us was: Bread to share: Warm, freshly baked onion bread with a Parmesan butter & apple chutney. Starters: Prawn gyoza with a mushroom tea & a duck leg thingy. Mains: Beef fillet & ribeye steak. Dessert: white chocolate cheesecake & hazelnut fondant. We were very impressed with our stay overall and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful! Thankyou so much to everyone at The Elms Hotel & Spa for making our stay so special.

Received a gift voucher for Afternoon tea for two. The grounds and hotel were lovely and staff polite but this was quite possibly the worst afternoon tea I have ever had, and we have had afew !! We advised them before we went that one person had a fish allergy so we were given 1 salmon and cucumber finger sandwich and 1 cucumber finger sandwich, who only serves 1 finger sandwich, and just cucumber no other filling?? The cakes were really disappointing and the red velvet square was the smallest thing I have ever seen! The eclairs were peanut butter and jam, and not very nice, even the macaroons were poor. Such a shame as it wasn’t cheap, came away still hungry and I don’t think that has ever happened to me before after an afternoon tea!!!
