...me to a day at Hoar Cross Hall for christmas!! After looking after our one year old everyday he thought I deserved a relaxing time!!
I was going by myself so decided to book quite a few extra treatments to keep myself occupied and had my hair done, a manicure, an Idian head massage and an eyebrow re-shape. I arrived 10 minutes before my first treatment and rushed to the changing rooms.... after I was showed where they were- it wasn't obvious where ... ...book which is complimentary, from Hoar Cross Hall's owner. I didn't read it but bought it home with me anyway!!! I might read it and make millions one day!!
I took my book and some magazines with me to read, and read I did!!! I went to the "Atrium" which like it's name, is in the heart of the building! Opposite main reception, you lie there in your robe, on one of the many leater settees and you can sleep, read, snuggle up to a fleecey blanket (provided) ...

...the Eden Day Spa adjoining Hoar Cross Hall hotel on the 28th May 07. We were originally planning to spend the day at the Thermae Spa in Bath until we called a couple of weeks before and they couldn't book us in for any treatments - this was very lucky on our part and I am so glad it turned out the way it did!

Advantages: Beautiful place, great staff, loads to choose from Disadvantages: Doesn't come cheap
Hoar Cross Hall is a health spa near Uttoxeter in Staffordshire. Recently a mate and I treated ourselves to a day there.
The place itself is beautiful. It is a very, very old hall the size of a stateley home in gorgeous grounds. The grounds include a wood, various lawns, a topiary garden and a sweet smelling lilac garden. There are statues and fountains everywhere.
The hall is spectacular - all wood panelling, plush settees, polished floors, thick ... ...lady of the manor!
Hoar Cross has several workout rooms, a gym, an indoor pool, sauna, solarium, steam bath and various treatment rooms.
Outside there is a golf course and archery centre to name but two of its amenities.
I paid sixty odd quid for a day. This included any classes I wished to take, unlimited use of the pool, sauna, steam room etc., lunch, as much coffee and tea as you can drink, and a back and shoulder massage which I saved for ...

Advantages: A fabulous, fabulous experience Disadvantages: Slightly tacky and quite expensive
I recently gave up smoking and having always wanted to have a spa break, chose to use the money I had saved for this.
I went for two nights in June and really enjoyed it - to the extent that I returned from 4 nights last week.
The place itself is quite easy to find from the directions given and, on first impression, looks fabulous. When you look a bit more closely, it starts to look a bit like "more money than taste" - I mean - chandeliers in the ... ...ballroom, it is all period portraits and wood panelling, then you spot portraits in oils of your "happy chairman" and mrs happy chairman - as I say, a bit tacky but who cares.
The minimum stay is two nights and that cost about £350 - a 1/2 hour facial or massage is included in that as is a "hydrotherapy experience" - which is file. Into a warm bath you sit, bubbles pummel you starting at your feet and working up to your back - nothing wrong so far ...

Sooooo Relaxing Review ofHoar Cross Hall (Staffordshire)by
Derbygirl77
Advantages: You're left to do your own thing, even sleep if you want to! Disadvantages: Early lunch and noise (the free ear plugs would be useful!)
...Spa which is adjacent to Hoar Cross Hall with my friend for a girl's day out and it was very relaxing and very highly recommended! The changing rooms are very clean and comfortable and in your locker you're given two towels and a very nice robe which I wore for the whole day! We booked in for continental breakfast which consisted of fresh fruit and yoghurt, pastries, bread, cheese and meats and cereals. With fruit juice and tea or coffee. The food ... ...with three courses (including a buffet of salad, vegetables and other hot food). I had a facial, eye brow shape and back massage which were all lovely, except the eye brow shape which hurt, a lot! We spent a lot of time in the spa areas and they were lovely and relaxing, but after a while, the water starts to really sting your eyes. We finished our day with champage and truffles, which are a box of six hand-made chocolates fresh out of the fridge! ...

..., and is Grade II listed.
Eden Spa is actually situated in the village of Elston on the A46 which runs between Lincoln and Leicester, and is just five miles from Newark and easily accessible from the A1/M1 and A52 roads.
The spa itself is the sister spa to the better known HoarCrossHall in Staffordshire. (actually founded by Steve Joynes Senior). Eden is actually a Day Spa, and there are different packages for Day Spas but overnight stays are not offered. There are six packages in total, ranging from the basic "Relaxed" package at £69 to the most expensive "Pampered" package retailing at £160. Men are not forgotten, with the "Time Out for Men" package at £90.
