Rowhill Grange Hotel & Utopia Spa

My wife and I visited Rowhill Grange in June 26 for a weekend Spa break, opting for the Glow Getaway which included 2 nights accommodation, breakfast, £40 towards dinner both nights, and a 55 minute Spa treatment. Whilst the package wasn't cheap, it was competitively priced when benchmarked against alternatives. The hotel itself is well located, set back in the countryside in a very peaceful setting with English gardens and grounds to the front, and a quintessentially English feel to the building and setting. The accommodation is pleasant with generous space in the standard king rooms, including big comfortable beds and a decent size bathroom with a large shower space. The room was clean and we found the hotel to be very quiet, despite their being a wedding party on the Friday evening. The atmosphere around the hotel is excellent, very relaxed and calming as you would hope to feel in a spa venue, but not always achieved at others we have visited. Staff cannot do enough to be polite and helpful, they really are a credit to the hotel and management team. Every member of the team we encountered was extremely pleasant and helpful, which makes for a welcoming stay. The staff throughout including reception, the bar, the restaurant and the spa itself were excellent, which makes you feel a welcome and special guest. Don't get me wrong, the hotel isn't perfect and some areas a a little tired, but that adds to the character and charm of this little gem of a venue. Maybe we were lucky, however the Spa facilities never had more than 10 people in during the times we used them, whereas other venues are often packed. Overall, it was an extremely pleasant stay, and i wouldn't hesitate to come back or recommend to others. Yes, it's expensive, however all good things in life come at a cost and i found the value was reasonable given the experience and facilities.

Grace welcomed me in such a friendly way, there was already a fan in my room and I had been put in one of the rooms at the back as per my request. Dinner was really lovely (I had room service) and Breakfast the next day was genuinely exceptional. I love coming to this hotel as I know the staff look after it and me very well.

I couldn't stay longer!

The facilities and food

Nothing

Out of the way. Quiet

Location fantastic Atmosphere quiet and peaceful Room comfy bed but awkward shower room had to the over head with taps at the back so had to get cold before shower heated up but it kept turning cold then hot but ok. Spa was good so was the pool Jacuzzi a little small but ok when in bubbles quite powerful. Steam room was good but if you are with your partner you couldn't share the sauna together as they are separate and back in both men's and women's changing area. The relaxation room was great and the gym very good. Food a little disappointed and quite expensive for what it was trying to be. I don't mind spending money on quality dishes if it is worth it but most dishes lacked seasoning and had to put lots and lots of salt and pepper on. The prawn cocktail starter at £18 was very poor I have never had a deconstructed prawn cocktail it was chopped so finely and put in a small circle literally could not see a prawn also very watery and tasteless to be fair they took it of the bill but was very poor indeed. Breakfast was a buffet style plenty of options to be fair Bacon was rock hard but the other Breakfast items were fine. Staff are polite. I would revisit

Fantastic experience, upgraded room on arrival not requested, spa facilities were excellent, we went on a Tuesday so it was very quiet with minimal people in the spa, Food was excellent highly recommended the steak, bar service was second to none and the staff absolutely wanted our experience to be positive. Loved our stay and will return. Big shout out to the bar person who was excellent. Well done all !!
