Sopwell House Reviews

Brilliant service, dedicated staff, beautiful food and and very relaxing and calm

Had a very relaxing stay at Sopwell House.This is well run with lovely helpful staff. Excellent spa pool and facilities. Very good food.

Gorgeous spa & friendly & attentive staff. Room a little basic for the price - but nice enough. Amazing breakfast

Nicely refurbished, beautiful spa and great gym! Delicious Omboo restaurant

Loved the aesthetics of this property, however there were several aspects that were disappointing. One room was only ready for check in at 4.30pm so we had to wait around. The room had a leak of the floor, no water pressure in the shower and the hair dryer was not working. The key was also faulty, which forced me to go down to reception around 4-5 times to get this fixed. This was all flagged to reception and the only solution provided that “we will call the maintenance guy”. The fact that the spa facilities are only available till 11am and the service is so strict about this was super inconvenient and unfriendly provided the check in was also so late. My massage experience also felt rushed. There were no solutions or flex provided for anything that was flagged, which deflated the whole experience. Disappointing especially for the amount we paid for the night.

This was my second stay at Sopwell House and I enjoyed it as much as the first time. The decor and cleanliness were outstanding. We loved the spa facilities and the food in the restaurant - delicious! However, we were surprised to find ourselves locked out of our room when we got back to our room after breakfast on checkout day. It was just after 11am and we felt this was a bit heavy handed. Also, unlike during my first visit, I was unable to get a plus size robe which would have been more comfortable for me.

Lovely hotel with spa , I would certainly stay here again

All staff were welcoming, friendly and very helpful. Food was fantastic in both restaurants! Beds were really clean and very comfortable. A real tonic that my husband and I needed!

The staff and overall facilities were excellent. The team on reception couldn't do enough to help. We also left some clothes at the hotel and they forwarded these to us by courier a few days later. Amazing service.

Very clean, Some staff excellent others need further training on manners Unfortunately we came at a time when buliding work was talkibg place so very noisey at timea also they we taking down a tree for 2 days outside my room window

It was our Anniversary and the staff were amazing,treated us so special and a few gifts. We will be going again we loved it.

I really enjoyed my stay but it was slightly soured by the spa and fact that I was not really made aware that the better spa which they now call CLUB was £120 extra per day per person until I got there. That means that it was £700 a night if I wanted spa access and 1 evening meal, way more than the Grove. The hotel charges a very high rate anyway for a usual 4 star, so its expected to receive the higher-end facilities included that are pictured all over the website which was what made me book there. A bit of false advertising I think and that's why it felt slightly sour. Even no entry with paying for 2x massages at £260 which is way more than massages at a non-spa (and one massage was not good anyway, too soft and every time I asked for a bit harder with her hands as she barely touched me, she reminded me that I 'should have chosen a deep tissue, but I just wanted a firm Swedish and paying that she should have adapted). The staff overall were great and that's why I overall enjoyed my stay even with the spa issues and high prices overall, special thanks to Rachel on front desk who was very nice and helped me have a special stay for a special time.

One night stay only to attend a 60th birthday party in St. Albans. Had a drink in the bar and then a meal at Omboo…was excellent ! Did not make use of the Spa unfortunately. Will most certainly return for a two night Spa stay at some stage.

I always have an impeccable experience staying at Sopwell House. Staff are great, attentive, very accommodating and well versed at keeping guests comfortable and relaxed. Cannot fault the facilities - restaurants, spa, lounging areas - all are amazing. A special home experience away from home and I can’t wait to return again.
