Calcot & Spa

We always really enjoy our time spent at Calcot but our recent stay was particularly special. |It was my fiancées birthday and our 1 year anniversary of getting engaged (also at Calcot).|From when we first arrived we were greeted by Millie on the front desk who immediately treated us like family and went out of her way to make us comfortable. |Then we went for dinner where the food is always amazing and all of the staff are fantastic. Martha was looking after us on the day and made our meal extremely special and memorable. |Then we went over to the bar to finish off the evening and were delighted that Beth was on the bar who always goes out of her way to engage and be friendly.|All of the staff above are true assets to Calcot and make a beautiful hotel and spa with an amazing restaurant a real place to go to get the true 5 star experience. Thank you all very much.|That said, all of the other guys and girls are also great and we always have a delightful time.

We arrived mid afternoon and were shown to our room in a cottage across from the hotel. It was large,well appointed and very comfortable. We had a delicious champagne tea in our room and then spent a very relaxing couple of hours in the lovely Spa.We had an excellent dinner at about 8.30pm after a drink in one of the superbly appointed lounges. Next morning we partook of the extensive breakfast offerings and had a walk around the grounds. Then it was back to the Spa for more pampering and a gentle swim in the pool. A final drink in the bar and we were on our way!! A Very relaxing 24hours in lovely surroundings with very good food and tremendous service from all the wonderful staff. Can’t wait to come back👍

Id heard really good thinga about the Hive cafe and cocktail bar at Calcot so met a friend for lunch today. .ita beautiful, really cosy and a nice atmosphere. ||The food was tasty. I opted for a lobster roll with fries. At £20 I expected more than half am deep filling on top of a (nice brioche) hot dog roll. The chips were yummy. |My companion had a cous cous salad with Chicken.... £26. Ouch. ||Diet coke. £5. Double ouch. ||Service charge automatically added at 12.5%. Fine if there was.service but I had to ask form drinks at the bar ask for a menu. ask to order and we paid.at the bar. So we paid £7.50 just for some to bring our food to the table. ||Such a shame as all the ingredients are there for this to be a fab place.

We've just had our Christmas party at calcot manor and it was fabulous in every way! The staff, without exception, were brilliant at every stage. Rachel was a wonderful event manager. David and the team were so attentive and anticipated everything we might need at every stage. James was a superb host and looked after everyone incredibly well. They should all be so proud of themselves!|The rooms were all up to date and really warm, cosy and welcoming. |The food was delicious and the venue (the barn) was beautiful with all its twinkly lights and Christmas tree. |Breakfast in the orangery was perfect and relaxing.|We will definitely be back because this experience will be hard to beat!

Amazing hotel - so beautiful and luxurious with every attention to detail. Lovely, welcoming staff. Gorgeous room (we stayed in ‘Avening’ in the main house. The room was so well equipped and just lovely little extras like proper tea and a good selection of complimentary items. The communal spaces in the hotel are gorgeous - various big lounges with open fires & newspapers, lovely bar replete with cocktails, some stunning outdoor areas which would be wonderful in summer - so many areas to choose from. The spa is gorgeous - we spent an hour in the outdoor hot tub with open fire, really special - made even more special by the glasses of delicious cold bubbly delivered to us in the hot tub! An absolutely amazing indoor and outdoor gym with bike hire. Lots of fabulous extras for kids but we were child free on this visit. The grounds are beautiful and effort is being done to re wild, which we were pleased to see. Also so grateful for the signs about nesting birds and keeping dogs on a lead, lovely to see and hear so many birds on our walk around. The restaurant is lovely and we had dinner in there and the food was absolutely delicious! We also loved the breakfast - spoilt for choice with buffet items and then a la carte cooked breakfast, all really lovely with lovely staff. We were very sad to leave, the whole stay was an absolute treat and we will definitely return! Thank you

Spa review.. I arrived 30mins early to enjoy the spa facilities. The lady at the front desk asks if I'm a member or staying at the hotel. I'm not, as I live locally. So I couldn't use the spa. I'm paying £160 for a 1hr facial and I can't use the spa. Very disappointing. Especially, as you can do a half day with facial, two course lunch and access to the spa for £220. Seems like a very greedy, short sighted business practice. I would have genuinely been interested in the gym and spa as its so close to where I live, but not with this policy and service. Adding to this review, now that I've had my facial. My beauty therapist was Ellie. She run through the medical questions very quickly in what felt like a script. There was zero small talk or personalization. Felt very robotic and not relaxing. The facial/massage bed was narrow and very uncomfortable. The bolster were not moved to accommodate my height (6ft) and when I asked if she had other bolsters to support my knees and back, she said no and lifted my head without warning. When the facial was over I was delivered another script, and I had to ask where I could make myself presentable. She directed me, did not take me to the changing room, so went the wrong way. I had planned on coming here in February, for a half day with girlfriends, for a pampering as new moms. I'll now be looking elsewhere. The two stars are because my face is feeling replenished and dewy, which is lovely. Everything else was a disappointment.

Spent a few days at Calcot & Spa both for some down time and a birthday treat for the other half. We had a wonderful time. Service in both the hotel and the spa was excellent and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Between the spa treatments, the excellent new gym, the pool and the tennis courts, we had loads to do. Very comfortable and spacious rooms. The food was great, both at The Brasserie and The Hive. We will definitely be back, maybe in spring time.

We had the most blissful 24 hour stay and despite only being 25 minutes from home we felt like we were miles away as we properly switched off. We were kindly upgraded and enjoyed a beautiful suite just off the courtyard. We headed straight to the spa which was nice and quiet, and so lovely this time of year with the log fire by the jacuzzi. Breakfast in the morning offered so much choice, and we walked it off in the nature train around the grounds, before coming back to the spa. A festive afternoon tea topped off our stay before we left. We might just have to make this an annual pre Christmas tradition! Thank you Calcot!
