Lucknam Park Hotel & Spa

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.

The tree lined avenue approaching this beautiful house sets the tone on arrival. Staff are fantastic, friendly, warm & relaxed. Our room (Gardenia) was gorgeous, cosy & very quiet. We enjoyed a room service breakfast fit for a King. The Walled Garden restaurant had a lovely atmosphere & a great menu. Thoroughly enjoyed dinner. The spa is fantastic. Loved the very well run equestrian centre & riding around the lovely grounds. Felt very spoilt & would love to return. Thank you! x

As a couple we took a friend to Afternoon tea at Lucknam Park Hotel yesterday. It was one of the nicest Afternoon teas that we have had. The quality of the sandwiches, cakes, scones, sausages rolls and quiche was excellent. However what made it really special for us was the staff, from being greeted at the door and our car parked for us, to the serving of the tea they went out of there way to ensure we were made to feel welcomed and special. On the attentiveness of the staff alone we are planning another Afternoon tea soon. Can't recommend it enough.

Myself and my wife treated ourselves to a 2 night stay as this wonderful hotel/spa. We have been fortunate to to stay in many Spa/Hotels but I must say this hotel was the BEST. Wonderful welcome and greeting and lots to see and do with great restaurants. A great few days that made us want to return next year as we felt very relaxed and rejuvenated. It was GREAT to speak to Sakis who took the time to see how our stay was and show us some rooms for our next visit. A Wonder goodbye and felt very welcomed by Sakis and team. Highly recommend a visit. See you soon Lucknam Park - Mr D. S Boys
