Nestled in 150 acres of parkland, this exclusive spa hotel offers over 80 indulgent treatments by world-class therapists. Champneys Henlow has a secluded location in rural Bedfordshire, just outside Letchworth.

The adults-only resort features the famous Champneys Spa, with a grand swimming pool, spa pools and steam rooms. Guests can enjoy bespoke therapies, such as the sumptuous Champneys wax bath.

Bedrooms have luxury bathrooms with signature Champneys toiletries. All rooms have a flat-screen TV/DVD, and some have scenic views of the River Hiz, which runs through the tranquil grounds.

The restaurant serves a modern British menu and fine wines. Beverages and healthy snacks can be enjoyed on the garden terrace or in the elegant lounges, where free Wi-Fi access is available.

- The restaurant staff were a bit all over the show and didn’t really know what they were doing. The food however was unreal so no complaints from that side but the staff think we’re all knew to the job and got a couple of things wrong.

+ Lovely calm atmosphere, very friendly staff. Good room and lovely grounds. Great pool.
− While the food was good the availability throughout the day, particularly for lighter meals was poor. There was not really a bar and they did not serve beer, even 0%.

+ Lovely place and grounds. Helpful Staff
− The extra charges for an included breakfast rate. There was an additional charge for omelette and and speciality coffee (free filter coffee not good). Then a service charge on those items. Felt abit petty considering the money paid to stay overnight was quite high. I would have liked a swim but unfortunately as a disabled person there was no accessible options to get in and out of pool. It was an exceptionally hot day and no fans in the room meant I had a stifling hot night.

+ I recently visited Champneys Henlow and it was the perfect place for an active rest. The resort has beautiful, well-kept spaces throughout. The restaurant was excellent, featuring a great breakfast spread and lovely snacks at dinner. I particularly enjoyed the open-air jacuzzi and the indoor pool, which is set in such a relaxing environment. The spa is fantastic, and they have a very complete gym. If you visit on a sunny day, it’s even better, as the gardens—complete with small waterfalls—are a wonderful place to unwind and escape the fast pace of daily life.
− I appreciate it if they write that the price does not include the use of the SPA facilities and that there will be an additional cost.
