Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa Review – SpaSeekers
We’ve always booked via SpaSeekers since finding an amazing deal online a few years ago that I couldn’t believe was quite true. Since then we’ve been on numerous spa trips and always consulted SpaSeekers first. It’s the place I always recommend people to look at and I wouldn’t go elsewhere. I am so happy to have been able to work with SpaSeekers in reviewing a new spa, Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa, which has been updated within the last year! They’ve also given me a discount code for all of you to use, I don’t get anything from you using the code, and I’ll probably be using it myself too! First Impression of Ringwood Hall Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa is located in Chesterfield. A short drive away from our home in Sheffield. It’s quite a beautiful drive with lovely countryside views. Upon entering Ringwood Hall you immediately see its stunning grounds and beautiful buildings. There is a courtyard for the spa entrance that has many places to sit and basque in the glorious grounds before entering the spa. There is a lovely open reception that is very welcoming. An immediate spa smell hits you, and you know you’re in for a relaxing time. The reception has all the beautiful products that you can buy to take a piece of the spa home with you. It all feels very quaint, and pretty, and I would say a boutique cottage feel. The Glass House Brasserie is on the right-hand side and it’s absolutely stunning, this is where the boutique part comes in. It was very luxurious, with high-end design and finish, It really does look like it could be one of those famous cafes in London that everyone uses for Instagram photos. It’s extremely photogenic. We were given our itineraries for the day on a long card explaining all the spa rooms and a welcome drink which was a smoothie shot. It had mango, strawberries, and other fruit, and it was absolutely delicious. The changing rooms all looked to be accessible anyway with all ground floor access, but we used the accessible changing room, which was next door to the spa entrance. Ringwood Hall Hotel & Spa is fantastic for those who cannot walk too far as everything is very close to each other, and not a lot of walking at all. In our changing area, we were presented with robes, slippers, and a beautiful welcome gift of Lola’s Apothecary Body & Massage Oil. A very luxurious welcome gift! The Spa You can first see the spa through the Glass House Brasserie and it looks incredible, but you don’t realise just how beautiful the spa is until you enter. It is the most stunning spa we’ve ever seen, absolutely breathtaking. It’s like something out of a dream. With a dark green pool, jet black mirrored ceiling, a plant feature wall, and stunning views of Ringwood Hall’s grounds all around. Although on the smaller side, there is more than enough room to lounge around even when the spa is quite busy. The pool is more for lounging than swimming which I really enjoyed. I always feel as if I’m in the way of the swimmers at other spas, but this one was more for the relaxing jets and jacuzzis. There are three different places to sit and let the jets massage away your problems or simply just enjoy the heat of the pool as it soothes any aches and tension. The heat of this pool would also make it great for hydrotherapy and doing any light stretches and movements whilst in there. There are many different spa ‘cabins’ available, the only one that doesn’t have incredible views is the Blossom Steam Room, this is because it’s in the dark to give you the full relaxing effects. The other cabins, including the Himalayan Salt Sauna, almost make you feel as if you’re outside. We did notice one person sunbathing, whilst using the sauna! Around the spa is a stunning decking with so many different comfy seat options, this opens up in the Summer but if you like the fresh air, you can take a comfy blanket out and snuggle up. The grounds themselves are completely stunning, I didn’t realise on the day but there are actually several different gardens that you can go and explore at Ringwood Hall, great for those who like a nature walk. It is highly emphasised that you should hydrate during your spa day, and so there is a water station that is extremely pleasant. We tried both the cucumber and lemon water, but we decided that lemon was definitely the most refreshing. This was attended to throughout the day, with multiple cups picked up, which really kept that pristine look to the spa. Other rooms include the Herbal Sauna, which is pictured above, the Ice Fountain for cooling off and stimulating circulation between treatments, Experience Shower with tropic warm waters or a cooling mist, and finally, Foot Spas! My mum was rather happy about this. There is an upstairs with a Light and Dark relaxation room and treatment rooms but we cannot do the stairs so we didn’t see these. Afternoon Tea at Ringwood Hall We were so surprised by just how big the spa menu was! Not only did they have a breakfast menu for if you arrived early and didn’t have a chance to eat beforehand, but they also made homemade pizzas, salads, sandwiches, and so much more. All the food we saw looked absolutely amazing. We opted for the Afternoon Tea option which was really tasty! We enjoyed all the different sandwich options with little tomatoes next to them, and the sweet options were a real treat! We could not believe that they had a baby vanilla slice, we are obsessed with them and so is my cat, Anya, so we were laughing so much at the thought of her having one for her size. Other sweet treats include delicious scones, egg custard, carrot […]
