Wonderful!
Pros:

We went for a room with a spa pool. It was lovely to put the baby to bed and chill out in the spa in the evening. We loved the breakfast in the conservatory every day. The staff were absolutely lovely and accomodating.

A lovely hotel, with great facilities.
Pros:

The spa facilities were far better than expected, with indoor and outdoor pools and saunas. The changing facilities are small, but my massage was very good. The food was excellent. I love the inclusion of dogs for a full family experience.

Cons:

Some of the staff seemed to be students and service was slow at times. The room we had was facing the road, which was surpringly busy for a weekend.

Beautiful, relaxing getaway
Pros:

The staff, especially the reception staff were very friendly and welcoming! Manage to get a mini back and shoulders massage as I booked a little late. Was fantastic! Never felt so relax before. The suite was lovely with a fantastic view to look out on while relaxing in the hot tub. Food was cooked to perfection!

Cons:

I couldn't stay another night due to my own commitments.

Truly Luxurious and Attentive - from start to finish
Pros:

My wife and I treated ourselves to a two night spa break at Homewood. I'll be honest, the prices made my eyes water but you only live once. That said it was immediately apparent why sometimes you need to splash out if you want the best. From greeting to goodbye everything at Homewood said quality and care.
We were greeted with genuine warmth, although I was a little surprised that there was no offer of assistance with luggage. We didn't need help but the offer would have been a pleasant gesture.
The Mews building was beautifully decorated, with complimentary sweets in jars on entry. We loved the decorative wall light fittings in particular. Our room was also very well appointed, with a very large and extremely comfortable bed, and an excellent ensuite bathroom. The shower was powerful and very simple to operate.
The room's private terrace was very large and faced due east. This was perfect for the early morning sun on the clear Spring days during which we stayed. 5:45am would see me sitting in the private hot tub, admiring the sunrise and being serenaded by a blackbird, perched atop the adjacent conifer hedge.
Our two chihuahua cross dogs loved the room too, and enjoyed the treat biscuits provided. They particularly enjoyed the Earthbound sleeping mat - so much so that they have ordered one online since returning home! They also had their first ever experience of a dog agility course - which they tackled with enthusiasm.
Breakfast was fabulous, as were the staff who manned the restaurant each morning. I'm very much in the Full English camp and every aspect of that was perfect - and I'm a bit fussy about sausages too. Requesting an extra sausage to share with my dogs back in the room was no problem whatsoever.
We dined in the restaurant and I can say that the food we ordered was beautifully prepared and presented.

Cons:

The mews hot tub room (No.28) was a little small, but then that was perhaps because the bed was so enormous and sumptuous. I'd have rather had the space back that was devoted to the gigantic pop-up TV built into the foot of the bed, but that's a personal thing - I'm not a TV fan.
Maybe warn guests that showering with the bathroom door open might trigger the building's fire alarm.
If you need a strong massage then perhaps be specific. I was a little underwhelmed, although my wife loved hers. A bit of pot luck?
