The spa hotel provided a mix of experiences for our stay. The spa treatments were high-quality and the outdoor pools were lovely, but the access to other facilities and dining had some restrictions. We enjoyed our meals and the overall ambiance, but there were some communication issues among the staff. Overall, it was a pleasant stay but with room for improvement.

Sopwell House has a lovely spa experience and beautiful gardens, making it a charming getaway. However, issues with unexpected charges and some minor problems with room amenities left me questioning the overall experience. The facilities, particularly the spa and pool, are commendable, but the dining experience could use some enhancement.

Rooms

The room was spacious with a comfortable king-size bed. Unfortunately, it suffered from cigarette smoke odors likely due to the location above a smoking area.

My experience at Sopwell House was nothing short of delightful. The spa facilities were serene and well-kept, providing a perfect escape for relaxation. I thoroughly enjoyed the dining options, especially the afternoon tea, which was beautifully presented. The spacious event areas made our conference seamless, but some of the treatment bookings could have been organized a bit better. Overall, it was a memorable stay, and I can't wait to return for more spa enjoyment.
