Good for the price we paid
Pros:

The spa is lovely

Cons:

Breakfast was odd. No normal breakfast dishes.

Room was very dated and you wouldn’t expect that from a champneys. Dust all over the room and carpet hadn’t been cleaned. We also had loud banging from the room upstairs everytime they walked.

Pros:

The spa area was large and spacious.

Cons:

Pool was cool and hydrotherapy area was also. No disabled access to the facilities in the spa, was not directed towards changing spaces either as staff didn't seem to know. Single bed was very uncomfortable..little sleep room was satisfactory if a bit tired. I made a complaint and never heard back. Had to travel a fair way to get there...I won't be recommending or returning

Nice but basic stay
Pros:

Lovely spa facilities.

Cons:

Room was very basic and dusty. Fan was covered in dust. Bed not very comfortable and breakfast selection was very poor with limited options. Windows were filthy. Noisy room next to lift and stairs hearing doors banging throughout the night.

We didn’t end up staying due to disgusting conditions
Pros:

There is not much to say in this regard

Cons:

The property was extremely dirty, it was un hoovered and full of hair. We asked if the room could be cleaned if we left and came back in an hour, we returned and nothing had changed so we decided to leave as it was getting late and could not stay in a dirty room. The facilities also closed an hour earlier than the “important information” stated I was sent out before our stay.

Unjustifiably pretentious and self-important, business travellers beware
Pros:

Convenient location

Cons:

Room was tatty and musty, bathroom door rotting, stains on carpet, no air conditioning. Restaurant menu has no prices, just supplement charges without showing base price, gave up and drove into town at 9pm just to get food.

Cheap, but not up to the expected standard for a spa hotel
Cons:

It is tired, dated & very much in need of refurbishment. Compared to many hotels in the area with spa facilities, this looked its age & felt like a public swimming pool with some extra bubbles. The steam rooms are located in the separate men’s & women’s changing rooms so a couple cannot experience that together. The sauna fits 4 people at a squeeze. The twin beds were squeaky & very uncomfortable. My friends bed had a deep dip in the centre. Guest experience manager was helpful
when we provided feedback. We had booked last minute & did not pay much for the single night we stayed (in fact we were given a full refund) but with other options available locally on booking.com I would not return. We witnessed other people at reception having to make complaints about their stay.

Expensive for a weekend in a dated hotel.
Pros:

The location was ok for Ashby de la zouch
Plenty of parking spaces, however quite busy

Cons:

Given a twin room when I booked and specifically asked for a double. They initially couldn’t find my booking and when they realised it was through booking.com rather than direct I’m guessing I was given a sub standard room. The room was dirty, and dated, and directly outside an open sewerage/waste drain that smelled. The spa/gym facilities have time restrictions for guests staying at the hotel. Staff need customer service training, the majority are very young and don’t look like they want to be there.
