The hype
Reviewers universally adore the grounds and the spa's design, but service speed in the restaurant is a frequent frustration.
The Elms Hotel & Spa
$215-460/ 박
다음의 경우 예약하세요 You want a dog-friendly country manor escape where the spa feels like a botanical garden and the kids are actually welcome.
사람들이 좋아하는 이유
- The 'Greenhouse Spa' with its indoor/outdoor hydro pool and botanical theme
- Coach House Suites that feature private terraces with dual outdoor roll-top bathtubs
- Genuine dog-friendliness, including dining access in the bar and extensive grounds
한눈에 보기: A stunning Queen Anne mansion that nails the 'botanical chic' aesthetic but occasionally drops the ball on slow dinner service and soundproofing.
@bonnierakhit님의 리뷰: I felt like I walked straight onto a Bridgerton set here. The spa was the perfect warm escape from the winter chill, and dinner at Badgers was incredibly cozy. Honestly, the grounds alone are worth the trip for that main character feeling.

Reality check
While the 'botanical' vibe is immersive, some guests found the pool water too cold and the steam room occasionally out of order.
- You are traveling with a dog and want them treated like royalty (except in the spa)
- You love a spa that feels like a secret garden rather than a clinical lab
- You need a family-friendly luxury hotel that has dedicated swim times for kids

- Maintenance: Most areas are well-kept, though some guests noted cold pool water or broken steam rooms.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and high quality; robes and slippers provided for spa access.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of woodsmoke and old timber; spa smells of eucalyptus and botanicals.

“I would love to request one of the Coach House Suites for the outdoor bath experience. If that is unavailable, a top-floor room away from the main staircase would be preferred to minimize hallway noise.”
자주 묻는 질문 및 숨은 팁
예약하기 전에 실제로 알고 싶은 모든 것.
Is the hotel dog-friendly?
Yes, very. Dogs are allowed in Coach House rooms and most common areas (bar, lounge) for £25/night. They are not allowed in the spa or 'Comfy' rooms.
Is there a pool?
Yes, a heated indoor pool and an indoor/outdoor hydrotherapy pool as part of the Greenhouse Spa.
What are the hidden fees?
No resort fees, but there is a £5 tray charge for room service and breakfast is extra on third-party bookings.
Is it good for kids?
Surprisingly yes for a manor hotel. There are dedicated swim times, a playground, and family-sized suites.
How is the food?
The setting at 'Badgers' is lovely, but reviews consistently flag slow service. The food quality is generally good, though there have been rare quality control mishaps.
Is there EV charging?
Yes, there are two EV charging points in the main car park, free for guests to use on a first-come basis.
내부자 팁
- ✨
Book your spa treatments well in advance; the 'Greenhouse' is popular with locals too.
- ✨
The 'outdoor' baths in the Coach House suites are undercover, so you can use them even in the rain.
- ✨
If you book directly via their website, breakfast is usually thrown in for free.
가기 전에 알아야 할 5가지
💡The 'botanical' spa theme isn't just a name; it literally feels like a greenhouse with plants everywhere.
💡The steam room and sauna are sometimes out of order, so check before booking a spa day.
💡You can eat with your dog in the bar area, which serves the same menu as the restaurant.
💡The hotel is reportedly 'haunted' (or at least has that old manor vibe), which adds to the character.
💡Cell service can be spotty in the valley, so rely on the Wi-Fi.
