Hoar Cross Hall (Staffordshire)

...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! Location ******************** Located in a small village called Yoxall. Coming from Birmingham, you join the A38 North towards Lichfield ...

Review of Hoar Cross Hall (Staffordshire)

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 ...

Review of Hoar Cross Hall (Staffordshire)

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 ...

Review of Hoar Cross Hall (Staffordshire)

...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! ...

Review of Hoar Cross Hall (Staffordshire)

Arrived on the friday night and stayed during saturday. Rooms were ok- beds really soft and not so comfortable---massage i had was good, hower pool area and steam rooms were very busy. It was difficult to relax as there were loads of screaming woman shouting about how cold the plunge pool was ect. (maybe they were just excited-i think its a haven for hen parties). I think there should be more emphasis on people respecting that others would like to relax. Or maybe I have been too spoilt in the past. On a plus side the meal on the Friday night was good, but had to queue for 15 mins for lunch on the saturday. Go to a local spa and save your money ...

...experience - so we left. Fortunately, we managed to arrange a three-day break at Champneys Springs instead - which was lovely from the moment we walked in. Hoar Cross is expensive, yet looks scruffy & the attitude among the staff we met left a lot to be desired..... ...

Review of Hoar Cross Hall (Staffordshire)

During the Thalgo Sea and Senses body treatment I had chosen I received a burn to my stomach area from the stones used. Their on-site nurse administered burn cream and advised against using any of the facilities e.g pool, sauna, steam rooms etc. This of course ruined the relaxed experience day we had purchased. I was in pain for the entire day and the following four days. Despite many complaints to the Spa the management team have refused to refund ...
...and have only offered a complimentary half day experience for my friend and I, however we do not wish to revisit the spa for obvious reasons. The pampering spa day that I had booked for my friend's birthday was extremely distressing and disappointing for me , the opposite desired effect of a luxurious pamper day. ...

Review of Hoar Cross Hall (Staffordshire)

...from my 2nd visit to Hoar Cross I felt it's time I let the world in on how lovely this place is. Both times I have stayed there on a two night (Sun & Mon) stay with my mum. Once you have stayed there they will upgrade your room for free when you return to stay within 14 months. There is so much to do or not to do depending on what you want, we have both had a variety of treatments and can't fault a single one. The stay isn't particularly cheap but ...
