ANOTHER
DAY, ANOTHER STAY
My wife and I were visiting Down Hall Country House
Hotel, on the Essex/Hertfordshire border, for the third time, in just over a year. Down Hall is fast
becoming our favourite hotel in the UK. We find it so relaxing, and
the hotel and grounds are spectacular! To view my previous review of

The reason for our visit on this occasion was, once
again, a pre-flight stay. This time however we were looking forward
to spending a little more time at the hotel, and enjoying the
benefits of the recently opened Eden Spa.
We had booked our one night stay to include dinner, bed
and breakfast. We arrived at the hotel mid afternoon, in plenty of
time to relax in the sauna and steam room. Unfortunately, we didn't
have time on this visit to book any of the many treatments on offer.
Oh well, there's always next time!
The Eden Spa features a steam room, sauna, hydro pool,
relaxation area, sun terrace, snack bar area, and an outside patio
area with ample tables and chairs. The entire spa is tastefully
decorated, and offers a very calm, relaxing atmosphere. Treatments
include massages from just £27, facials from £24, pedicures and
manicures from £22.50, and waxing from just £10. All treatments can
be booked directly with the spa.
After chilling out and thoroughly relaxing for a couple
of hours, we enjoyed a splendid three course evening meal in the
Grill Room Restaurant before retiring to our very comfortable room
for the night. The next morning there was an impressive choice of hot
and cold food on offer, and we enjoyed a hearty breakfast before
enjoying a leisurely walk around the impressive and extensive
grounds. Feeling very relaxed and refreshed after our short stay, we
found ourselves, once again, bidding a fond farewell to Down Hall
Country House Hotel. As we drove down the long driveway, we knew this
wouldn't be our last visit to this wonderful and very welcoming
hotel, we will, most certainly, be back!
