Disappointing Stay – Not Truly Family-Friendly

I recently stayed at Balmer Lawn Hotel, expecting a relaxing and family-friendly experience, but unfortunately, it fell short. The bedroom and bathroom felt quite tired and in need of an update—not what I’d expect from a four-star hotel. Despite being advertised as a family-friendly hotel, the pool was closed to children for most of the day. It seems they are trying to cater to both families and adults seeking a spa retreat, but in reality, they can’t have it both ways without disappointing one group. Another frustrating aspect was the extra charge for coffee at breakfast—£4 per cup! I’ve never encountered that at any other hotel, and for the price of the stay, it felt excessive. The hotel keeps mentioning plans to upgrade the spa and pool, but I paid for the experience as it is now, not for what it might be in the future. Given the cost of our stay, I expected much better. Having said that, the location was perfect and staff were friendly. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again or recommend it. It’s overpriced, poorly balanced between being a family hotel and a spa retreat, and simply not worth the money.

The restaurant was excellent all the staff were nicely dress and very efficient, pricing was reasonable for this star hotel. Our room was lovely and clean with excellent bedding and towels. The spa is well worth a visit one of the best we have tried in recent months and the staff 1st class. Plenty of car parking but the reception forgot to make a note of my registration apart from that highly recommended. R Bristol

Lovely food, great staff team but under renovation

The weekend was all about the spa, and when we arrived the spa was having refurbish so there was noisy drilling going on and treatments had to be moved to a bedroom in some circumstances. The spa is really tired and the toilets and showers weren't working. All of this was communicated by signage at the venue but nothing was mentioned on booking. I rang up to ask about spa use and it wasn't mentioned then either. As I was booking specifically for a relaxing spa weekend, I would have chosen somewhere else had I know they had renovation work ongoing until April. The food was lovely and the staff were great. The superior room was nice, but superior isn't nescafe sachets and uht milk unfortunately.
