One night two day stay at the glass house retreat. It was immaculate and peaceful. Rooms were very spacious and comfortable. Staff were truly amazing from arrival to departure. i really enjoyed the food, although not a vegan. Highly recommend the root veg pie |We did the morning walk, sound bath, & a few other activities including a dip in the outside pond .|We will return to the glass house and recommend it to others!

Our experience at Glass House retreat has been absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived from London, we could feel the calmness of the space.||The staff who greeted us and throughout our stay were very informative and so kind.||We felt at home pretty much right away and everything was explained so well.||We had been a little apprehensive about the food due to it being described as a caffeine-free, refined sugar-free, health foods experience. But we have been blown away by the food. Every meal we have had here has been delicious and filling. So much so, we didn’t even really think about snacks (which is not usual for me). ||The facilities are state of the art - it didn’t feel like there was anything missing - from the pool, to the steam room, indoor sauna, outdoor sauna, jacuzzi & even a fresh water outdoor pool which I am proud to say I managed to go in for about 5 mins!||We also took a number of classes from pad work through to vinyasa yoga, the daily morning walks and the daily meditations. These classes are well thought through & the schedule is robust but not overwhelming as you can do as much or as little as you like. ||I also used the gym facilities to continue my usual workout routine while staying.||We have really felt so relaxed and taken care of. I can’t recommend it enough! ||If you are looking for a retreat and spa that’s close to London, and 100% plant based, then this is for you!

A fantastic 2 night stay. Being vegan I have to say the food was great. You could tell thought has gone into the menu with good choices available. The Sunday 'Nut' roast is very tasty, as are the Pancakes.|Good selection of classes with some different things to try like Tai Chi which was very good. You can do as little or as much as u like with no pressure to undertake any class. Sound bath a must.|The staff are very friendly & you are put at ease from the moment you walk in, nothing is too much trouble.|The cryotherapy is a must & a good selection of different massages & therapies without any hard sell in sight.|The bedroom was very spacious & very clean, as was the whole resort.|All in all a great stay & we will return.

The Glasshouse Retreat is one of my favourite places of all time. Everything about it is amazing, the rooms, facilities, spa, staff and of course the delicious vegan food. I go back again and again because it really is the best setting to unwind and also to enjoy great fitness and relaxation classes! You are missing out if you don’t have a visit!

Everything about our experience at this spa was wonderful. First and foremost the staff are fabulous - nothing is too much trouble, they are so friendly and warm, instantly making you feel comfortable. My treatment was outstanding, the facilities were spotlessly clean and a lovely choice of different spa experiences. Most of all I really valued the etiquette of no technology (phones had to be off or on silence) and talking kept to a whisper by the pool - made a huge difference to the experience and the staff make sure this policy was adhered to. It meant we could relax to the lovely music being played and truly switch off. The food was delicious (I was surprised how tasty vegan food could be!) and I loved the smoothie. I honestly can’t recommend this spa enough, I can’t wait to go back!

My husband and I went for a day spa at Glass House Retreat. The hotel and facilities are very well presented throughout. With many spaces for different activities and relaxation.
The pool is a lovely size with plenty on loungers.
The outdoor space is peaceful and beautifully kept.
We had day lockers and a private room for showering / changing. Which was a good touch from communal spaces you normally get at a spa.
Every member of staff were friendly and professional. With special mention to Mary who gave us a tour, therapist Loraine for a perfect facial, and one of the wellbeing couches ( blonde lady) who held a craft session. She was welcoming and encouraging.
The dinning area also offers a good selection of lunches and smoothies.
We will definitely come back
Thank you

I came for a spa day, and the staff had great service. Made to feel very welcome with a tour around the facilities, and walk through of the day's activities. Attended Tai Chi and mindfulness classes - both were very calming. The personal changing rooms were clean.

The masseuse doing the treatment was receptive to my concerns on sensitive skin, and walked through the ingredients of the oil used / offered to use just a plain oil.

Stayed for two nights and had an amazing experience from start to finish, it felt like a mini holiday. The staff were lovely and the food was absolutely amazing. I didn’t think I would like vegan food as much as I did. I loved every minute of my stay, and I loved that there were always activities going on and I never got bored for even a moment. Loved all the facilities - It was the most relaxing experience and I would definitely come back.
