Homewood Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Loved it here! We stayed for 2 nights and are already planning our next visit. The food was exceptional: afternoon tea was one of the best I have ever had, and the Mediterranean breakfast was delicious. Spa facilities are lovely, as are the staff in the spa and the treatments they provide. We loved the heated outdoor pool, and spent plenty of time in it even though the weather was a bit dull and rainy. Didn't matter! The room we were in was spacious, clean, and modern. The hotel interior and lounge areas are cosy and well designed. Really feels like a relaxing, comfortable place to be. My husband's favourite part about Homewood: the pick'n'mix station at reception! A great touch, and we still talk about it. Can't wait to return!"

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely wonderful staff, we got upgraded to a suite which was a bonus as it was our wedding anniversary. Treatment area is absolutely amazing and so relaxing, you can sit pre and post treatment to relax. Treatment was amazing!! Despite us being informed that a member of staff was off sick in the morning, so my husband and I had half the treatment time each, it was still amazing. Lunch was decent and breakfast was cooked upon request and tasted good. Thank you for a memorable experience!! The only downside was that there are no restaurants nearby, so we had to get a cab to the nearest one which proved a nightmare when trying to get back around 11."
