- We had the half day spa experience. Firstly, the food was delicious! Really high quality, and the portions were a perfect size. We had to get dessert as well of course! Then the spa treatment was lovely and relaxing, the only problem was it's never long enough! I could lie there forever. But the spa and sauna was calling, and and so we thoroughly took advantage of all it had to offer. After claiming a lounge, we headed into the sauna, which is my absolute favourite. I find it so relaxing, and hopped in a few times over the remaining few hours we were there. I left the spa as if floating on a cloud. I can't recommend The Priory and the Spa enough. Thank you!

- From the moment I entered reception I was greeted warmly and, despite the receptionist being in the middle of a call, she acknowledged me. I had a wonderful 1.5 hours alternating between the sauna, steam room and swimming pool, all conveniently located next to each other. My back and facial massage with Maria Elena was exceptional and transported me to another world. Finally, my 2 course lunch was delicious, especially the beef carpaccio starter. All the staff were very professional and friendly. I wish I could afford to do this every week! A wonderful day and I shall definitely be returning; and bringing my mother!
- Absolutely loved the spa, quite small so isn’t always room for the number of people to relax. The relaxation lounge should maybe have a set time as two ladies in there for over an hour after their treatment meaning people just coming out of treatments couldn’t relax. The two ladies (guests) in the relaxation lounge on phones and laptops banging away at the keys and swearing when something went wrong. Shouldn’t be allowed technology in the lounge as I was wanting to get away from it but their screens where in my view spoiling it a bit. Maybe 30 mins max after treatment in the lounge. The treatment and staff were 5* without a doubt. The lounger mattress’ quite stained which is off putting. Everything else was 5* excellent. Will definitely return. This was a surprise for my sister and it didn’t disappoint.
