I recently made a spa reservation for two people I hold very close. They were celebrating a very special occasion. I received glowing feedback about how the team at Hartwell House and Spa made them feel very special and pampered. I would recommend this place to everyone who would care to listen! I want to take this moment to thank the team who looked after my parents! You exceeded all expectations and helped make the day so memorable!

We were going to celebrate an important wedding anniversary for my parents by having afternoon tea in one of the luxury hotels in Central London but decided in the end to try afternoon tea at Hartwell House. We made the right decision! The staff were all welcoming and attentive to the right degree. The sandwiches & sweets were exquisite and the tea selection was extensive. We felt very relaxed in the peaceful atmosphere of the drawing room and had ample space between parties and didn't feel at all rushed. All of the rooms were comfortable and luxurious, including the bathrooms! We went for a lovely walk in the grounds afterwards. I would highly recommend trying an afternoon tea at Harwell House.

A lovely three nights stay at this National Trust hotel. Deliberately kept to it's era it is not awash with modern conveniences but all the important things are provided. The staff are very efficient and courteous and the rooms provide good old fashioned comfort. Nightly rates are not cheap and the food and drink prices are borderline extortionate so apart from breakfast we chose to eat elsewhere.

Starting in the spa for their ultimate aromatherapy massage, Christina was absolutely magic! Delicately spoken, she immediately made you feel relaxed. Followed by afternoon tea, in a drawing room all to myself, feeling like royalty. The staff go to lengths to make you feel special and looked after. A special thank you to John (green waistcoat incase there are other Johns lol) who gave me a personal history tour of the house and gardens!
