Lucknam Park Hotel & Spa

Booked this as a surprise for my husband’s birthday, didn’t disappoint. A half bottle of champagne in our room and a birthday sweet treat made it special for him. The walled garden restaurant was lovely with delicious food and attentive staff

Had a great 70th birthday lunch today, Tyler was a great waiter, I think because he has a sweet grandmother. Sophie and all the staff were very attentive and the food was delicious. Congrats to all. The location and gardens create a lovely feeling.

The property is in a lovely area surrounded by picturesque villages. The grounds of the hotel are great and have lots of activités suitable for children including an outdoor park, football pitch and an entire children’s themed room. Spa was nice and quiet. Lots of options for treatments and experiences! Even a Japanese salt room. Cottages looked great. Cannot say the same for the room I was in which I think was a standard. Would definitely recommend taking a cottage over a room. Breakfast was very nice with fresh pastries. Staff at breakfast fantastic.

My SO and I had a gift voucher for an afternoon tea and spa day at Lucknam Park. I've been to Lucknam on several different occasions for afternoon tea, and also enjoyed a delightful overnight stay for my birthday back in 2019. I've also used the spa, albeit many years ago. So, I was excited to have the opportunity to try out the spa facilities again, which have undergone considerable modernisation since I had last been there. I have to say, this is probably my best spa experience to date! The spa facilities are incredible - and spacious, clean and modern. I especially loved the huge 20 metre indoor pool, the indoor and outdoor hydrotherapy pools, and the Japanese salt room. I think we could of happily spent all of our time in the spa itself. It was just the most wonderful experience, we didn't want to leave! Our voucher also included a treatment. I went for the Targeted Back Massage & Personalised Express Facial, and my partner chose the Sea Salt Scrub and Back Massage. We both thoroughly enjoyed our treatments. (Shout out to my lovely and friendly therapist, Sophie!) We were able to spend a bit more time in the spa following our 60 minute treatments, before it was time to get changed and head to the main house for afternoon tea. As I mentioned earlier, I have visited Lucknam before for afternoon tea. So I pretty much knew what to expect. We had the choice of sitting in the library or the main lounge, so we chose the library, which is probably my favourite room in the house! The afternoon tea was very enjoyable, and staff were friendly and attentive. Thank you Team Lucknam. We very much hope to return for another spa day, maybe next year?!

I had read many wonderful reviews on here, and had worked for a big Firm in London too, who used Lucknam Park for Senior Manager Conferences, so I was very excited for two nights away. Good things about Lucknam Park are the staff (especially James for his endless enthusiasm & Charlotte who served us at dinner in Restaurant Hywel Jones, and knows her cheese trolley!) The Spa is lovely - very clean and well kept, with great range of facilities. We went just after half term and so the pool, steam room and sauna were more or less empty. Bliss! As an aside they sell swimming trunks which is handy (though they mistakenly charged us for two pairs on check out, instead of one!) Some areas of the property need upgrading though - some some dirty carpet tiles on the stairs, and some rather worn down chairs in the lounges. To be really picky the Spa (although fab as mentioned above) needs fruit water / fresh water available in the ladies changing room and some toiletries wouldn't go amiss....even deoderant and hair spray.........like all top spas now offer their guests. Though we had to wait for 35 minutes once checked in just to get coffee and a sandwich, James was very welcoming when he did arrive and again, he is an asset to the place. We ate at Hywel Jones on the second night - good food as expected, but the restaurant itself also looks tired and dated. Worryingly - I had specified on a couple of separate occasions (upon on check in, and to the waiting staff as we sat down) that I didn't eat shellfish. Lo and behold, my main course arrived looking very pretty with guess what.... yes, a dollop of shellfish mousse sat brazenly on the side of my plate. No sooner had I taken my first forkful of fish, was the plate then was whisked away, followed by a handful of apologies throughout the evening. My friend finished his main course by the time my replacement mains arrived, which was awkward. Shame and actually unacceptable for such a grown up restaurant as I'm sure you will agree. Eateries really must be more careful with allergies. We mentioned upon check out, when asked how our stay was (the nice young man checking us out had no knowledge of this) but he then offered a 10% reduction off the final bill. It was a token gesture and although we did appreciate it, our evening was marred by the poor (and potentially dangerous) kitchen comms. On reflection, I wouldn't visit LP again. We felt the prices didn't really reflect the two night experience, and if you are thinking of going, do be mindful of any allergies you have, mindful of autumnal weather + cold bedrooms, and mindful that service can be slow.
