Formby Hall Golf Resort & Spa

Myself and partner had a reservation for over night stay and the main event for new years eve. We have booked this event and stay for the last 4 years. Our recent visit we had a terrible time booking we paid in full . I was constantly getting emails saying your balance is due . Your balance needs paying by such a date. Then the last 2 emails were to say our reservation was cancellef. I just had enough and didnt want to go it was so stressful. Anyway this was resoived. The loft room we stayed in was absolutely beautiful couldnt of wanted more. Beautiful bathroom ,shower tv . All amenities you would want luxury comfy bed outstanding tea coffee and biscuits absolutely everything..The pool facilities which we used fabulous enjoyed that The main event which we always look forward to was rubbish every year we have had such a good time there was a singer on he was good but not for me there was quite a few younger people this year not 1 decent song not 1 dance song or christmas song it was disappointing. The 5 course or 6 was appalling the portions were shockng for the money you paid even the tables the candles wasnt lit every year the would be a his and hers party hat poppers . It just seemed very bland.The poor waiters didnt have a clue who was having what they were so nice and pleasant not their fault. Each year the bagpipes usually played which was a great incentive it was fireworks this year . Our night just wasnt what we exoected and was very disappointing. Unfortunately this will be the last time we book this event

I went here with my partner for the night as a christmas gift, the experience we had was wonderful. Upon arrival, we were greeted by staff that were very polite and friendly. We loved our room, there was so much space and the pressure of the water in the shower was lovely. We also had dinner there and with it being boxing day it was a set menu, i have never had vegetables that good. Everything was cooked to perfection! The next morning we went to the spa which was again lovely. The only regret we have is that we didn’t stay longer :)

We visited formby hall for an over night stay with spa treatments, afternoon tea and evening meal. ||Me and my friend had such a relaxing time in the spa and the staff were so friendly and very experienced Aswell. |After the spa we had afternoon tea which was very tasty and the lady who served us was Rachel and she was polite and kept our drinks topped up. |Our room check-in was easy and the reception staff were chatty and friendly, and only a short distance to get to our rooms walk away. |The evening meal was so tasty, we had 3 small plates to start in which the two fish choices were amazing alongside the chicken Bon Bon’s. |My main course was the chicken supreme and my friend had the scouse dish, both were absolutely amazing and we can’t wait to come again in the future and try some of your other dishes. We was served by mick and Lucy and between them our visit and experience was just the best. |Breakfast in the morning was relaxing, the choice of continental items where very nice and the pork sausages where my favourite choice. I asked for poached eggs and they arrived within a few minutes fresh to order. ||All in all we had a very good experience and will definitely be visiting again.||Whilst chatting to Mick in the restaurant we was informed of all the positive changes and refurbishments that are planning to start next year and we can’t wait to see they changes that are to be made.||All the staff from arrival to departure are a credit to formby hall

Love this hotel. Rooms are very spacious and clean, gud size wardrobe with drawers and a safe. Tea tray with biscuits etc plus mini fridge. Bathroom with bath and separate shower is fantastic and has great lighting to put ya makeup on. ||This hotel is so relaxing it has an abundance of excellent comfy seating in both the bar areas, restaurant and on the outside terrace. We enjoyed a very tasty dinner with nice wine and a delicious breakfast with all you could wish for the next morning. Only gripe was plates were cold. ||All the staff are so lovely and welcoming. Rachel could not do enough for us at breakfast. As with the lady on reception. They are all what I think makes my stay so relaxing and enjoyable.||This was fifth time here and I can’t wait for my sixth

Stayed here in February and had a great stay, returned for 4 nights over NYE and engagement celebration and it was very, very poor. -Mould spores in Nespresso water tank -Only given decaf coffee pods -2 coat hangers in 4 wardrobes -Requested a specific room which was ignored -Room service food order wrong and cold -Inattentive staff in restaurant, waited a long time to be served, drinks order never arrived -showers in changing room in disrepair We booked the NYE family party night, had to leave after 50 minutes (as did a couple of other families), music was so loud we couldn’t talk. They put us with a group of 30 travellers who we didn’t know and only assigned us a table right in front of the speakers after we complained and requested a table of our own. Very uncomfortable overpriced and unenjoyable experience. This hotel is no longer 4* must have changed owners since we were last there

This place is in a great location and with work could be lovely. The rooms and facilities need TLC and cleaning throughout. Our room wasn't clean, mini fridge not working and room freezing. The spa needs upgrading especially in the changing rooms where dirt and rust cen be seen. Would be great to see this place invested in and make good these little things.

This was a tricky review to write as there are so many things going for this hotel and on balance we had a lovely time and felt it was good value for money. We did an overnight spa package.||Positives|Staff in the hotel are friendly and the swimming pool, sauna and steam rooms are a welcome addition to the spa visit. The main restaurant has a lovely buzz about it in the evening and we found the food to be exceptional, great flavours and good value. Staff at dinner were attentive and we enjoyed our evening. We upgraded to a superior room and had a Juliet balcony which opened up to views of the golf course. The room was very spacious, well appointed and clean. The bathroom was also very clean and appeared to have been recently renovated. ||Negatives |In general, we felt the hotel lacked lots of attention to detail which could make this hotel great! On check in the young girl continued to chat with a colleague about what tine she clocked off and her night out whilst we were giving our information which we found a little rude. The pillows to sleep on were abysmal, I think perhaps the worst we have ever slept on in any hotel. As a result my partner did not sleep. The beds are fine. The changing rooms in the swimming pool area are filthy, smelly and in dire need of updating- it really lets down the whole spa experience in my opinion. The hotel does feel like the spa takes second place to the golf aspect of the hotel which is fair enough but I don’t think it excuses the state of the facilities in these areas. I had two spa treatments, both of which were OK, however, I felt like my therapist could do with additional training. I had a head, neck and shoulder massage and she didn’t touch my neck or shoulders which was disappointing.||Overall it’s a nice hotel and generally well appointed. We had a lovely time and felt it was reasonable value for what we had. Would we return? No, I’m not sure we would. Would we recommend a visit? Yes, particularly if you’re keen golfers. As a spa visit there are better spa stays out there in our opinion.

Stayed at the hotel and visit the restaurant for a meal, lovely friendly staff. Food was really nice. Waitress Lucy was very professional, knew the menu options like the back of her hand, smiling throughout the service. ||Waiter Matt was brilliant, friendly and made us feel very welcome. ||Restaurant manager was really nice, walking around making sure everything was running well. ||Would recommend the restaurant and staff.

Formby Hall is a 4* golf resort hotel considered to be an absolute gem on England's Golf Coast. With two great courses the resort is very popular for corporate days, relaxing weekend golf breaks. For all you budding golfers out there you'll be glad to know it also houses UK's first PGA National Residential Golf Academy. The Academy is fully equipped with all kinds of gadgets and gizmos such as radar ball-tracking technology and video swing-analysis, perfect for improving your game, whatever your level. Even though the resort is very golf orientated it does cater for non golf enthusiasts alike. Oh and by the by did I mention to you lovely folk that it has a great spa. It has all the top notch facilities including the heavenly treatment rooms which are kitted out to the highest standards imaginable. The treatments offered don't lag behind either, spa here offers a diverse range of treatments and holistic therapies for both men and women. Now it has always baffled me why white folk are constantly trying to look brown...it really has...but it is a free world is it not, so I'll jut let it go shall I. Can you imagine if the trend from Victorian England came back when being whiter than white was the cool thing to do and Formby spa started offering treatments that made you white....r !!!! That would be hilarious and deemed shocking but as it is this practice is accepted in these times. In any case I digress!! For those of you looking for that just come back from holiday look this spa has the aptly named fake bake massages for a healthy, natural looking tan. They are ready to cater for all your fake baking needs. If you are pampering yourself for the day you might as well go all out and stay have dinner and stay the night, right? If you do decide to do so the rooms are immaculate as you would expect from a 4* resort hotel. It will set you back between £75 - £120 for a room depending on all the normal variable factors such as type of room, which day of the week etc etc Formby hall is a perfect getaway destination for gold enthusiast and the rest alike. So be green instead of looking abroad for options for short breaks look closer to home as we have gems such as this to explore in such close vicinity to Liverpool.
