Me and my partner spent 2 nights here and had an the most enjoyable weekend. We had two treatments (facial and a massage) and booked dinner in the Brasserie for both nights.

Lunch/Afternoon tea was beautiful and the service was excellent. Overall the food was delicious we made the most of the room service, breakfast in bed.

The outside pool area was our favourite part of the spa and we made the most of using the saunas/steam rooms and relaxation zones.

We would highly recommend here to anyone looking for a quiet getaway. Perfect for relaxing and spending quality time with your partner. 10/10 ☺️

Beautiful location, and a huge spa. My friend and I went for a spa day and it was incredibly relaxing. The facilities are great with robes and towels provided. There are a few sauna and steam rooms, so it felt very private and relaxing. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional and the massage was amazing! Would highly recommend the cotton mill spa!

This review is in regards to spa only. The place is rather run down. I would accept this if it wasn't so untidy for the price charged. Dirty windows, walls and basically everything in the main pool area - streaks and limescale everywhere, not to mention other filthy things. Many towels and robes look like they've already lived their best and their retirement is long overdue. Felt like the owners are just living off the profits instead of reinvesting into the facilities. And what has ever happened to the showers? The pressure is lower than a drizzle, there's no difference whether you choose cool or hot - it's burning hot anyway. Kudos to the staff who are still keeping this place positive and running. But I wouldn't be surprised if they come and go fast. Charles in the brasserie is amazing! So are the reception ladies. Conservatory bar seems to be overly pressed - perhaps one or two extra people would help keeping it clean and organised, without long waiting times. Not the experience it claims it provides at all!

I visited the Cottonmill spa at Sopwell House 2 weeks ago and mainly made use of The Club facilities. The facilities were lovely, stylish, clean and pleasant to use with some very modern facilities like the deep relaxation pods. I had a massage from a lady (Carolina or Catalina??) and she was extremely attentive, kind, and exemplified great customer service. The service was extremely good throughout the day and the food was lovely. I cannot fault it. I don't personally think the spa package I purchased is the best value for money as other spas have more facilities, and The Club Classic package I purchased included lunch but not the drinks with lunch. That said, it is a high quality experience, I would recommend it and I would visit again, so that says a lot.

Brilliant Spa, great amenities and very helpful staff. Drinks prices are reasonable. Dinner in the Brasserie was excellent and breakfast was equally as good. Bedrooms well equipped with Sky TV

I was gifted a maternity massage at the cotton mill spa. I have always enjoyed having a massage, but being pregnant with my first baby I was a little worried about having any treatment. I was really impressed by the treatment I received and wonderful staff that made my trip extra special. Tia especially was very friendly and informative. Thank you :) I would highly recommend

I went for Christmas lunch with colleagues.
Food was ok.
Service was great
It was very strange to sit in the restaurant and see people in dressing gowns and slippers walking through.
Bad bad traffic planning.
I would never go there for lunch. But definitely would stay in the hotel.
Not sure about spa and walking through restaurant to reach it.
Although clients coming from spa looked very relaxed.
Must be good one.

I stayed here for my birthday and unfortunately felt underwhelmed and was not worth the price I paid. The spa was so busy and so it was no longer relaxing. The room was small and dated for the price I paid. There were also no directions from the car park to reception which is far from helpful. The only saving graces were the food, massage and one of the waiters at dinner time who was so lovely. Maybe a stay here would be better at quieter times of the year but I don’t think I’d return…
