Lovely experience! There were a few initial issues, but guest services (Leanne - manager) were quick to respond and really understand what excellent customer service is. The room was fantastic. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious - really tasty and fresh. Restaurant manager Daniel was great, as was our waitress Suzanna. Finally, the Spa. Excellent. Really relaxing and again with great staff- thank you Tiffany! The Spa shop is well worth a visit, and the staff really went the extra mile. We will be back- a lovely place.

My partner and I just got back from a very relaxing lovely babymoon at Oakley Court. The location is convenient if you live in London. The grounds and facilities were great, there’s lots of quiet hidden spaces and areas for relaxing over a drink. We also rented one of the self driving boats for an hour and got to go up and down the Thames.The River House was really beautiful and relaxing especially when you get the weather and can enjoy the tranquil environment. We enjoyed the lunch and dinner offerings there and the drinks.The service was really great throughout, everyone was very warm and friendly.Our room was very spacious and came with lots of great mini cowshed amenities and snacks and drinks which we enjoyed. Only minor con with the room was the spotty Wi-Fi.Thanks for a great stay Oakley Court.

I recently had the pleasure having prescribed 1:1 Pilates sessions at Nobu Pilates under the guidance of the instructors, Natasha Williams-Rapata and Kiri Jones, and it was an exceptional experience. Natasha and Kiri were both extraordinary instructors who brought their expertise, passion, and genuine care to every session. They adapted the sessions to my needs, ensuring a challenging yet safe workout.One aspect that set Nobu Pilates apart was the utilization of various apparatus during my sessions. From the Reformer to the Cadillac and beyond, I had the opportunity to explore a wide range of equipment. This not only added variety to my workouts but also allowed for a comprehensive full-body workout that targeted specific muscle groups. The studio had a luxurious and elegant ambiance and was very clean which enhanced the overall experience.I highly recommend Nobu Pilates to anyone seeking a top-notch Pilates experience.

The perfect house to share with a family group. Well equipped to keep all ages happy if the weather isn’t the best. Also, the spa treatments available have the perfect opportunity for relaxation.

Great little retreat. Would highly recommend staying here for a bunch of people you like. You gotta love the countryside and spiders though! Good for me.

Nice enough if you want a quiet wedding in the country. Nothing else there apart from golf. Spa was OK but small. They are charging a fortune for food and drinks and the menu for the price is poor. The food had no seasoning and pork belly was Full of fat and its one of the cheapest cuts. Certainly not fine dining".I would certainly disagree with the owner in their prices

An utterly amazing experience. My son had the full body massage and I had the Indian head massage, and a neck/shoulders/arms massage. Service was impeccable from the moment we arrived and the treatments were amazing.My therapist, Illy, started off by asking about any health conditions or areas of concern and was able to give me tips about a couple of painful conditions I suffer from from spending too much time at a desk. We had the most amazing conversations during my treatment and I went away feeling relaxed and as if I'd been refreshed in body, soul and mind.It's not a cheap place, but it does prove that you get what you pay for, and this is definitely worth saving up for. My son's massage was equally excellent and he feels relaxed and rested, which as a schoolteacher, doesn't often happen.

I booked myself a birthday 90 minute detox treatment which included body scrub and massage elements. I have had this treatment before at this venue and rated it highly - the products are natural and pure and the experience previously has been relaxing and enjoyable. I am sad to say that yesterday’s treatment didn’t live up to the former visits. My therapist was sweet enough but clearly inexperienced. She neglected to tell me to start face down (for both the scrub and massage) and didn’t let me know at the end of the treatment whether I should meet her outside or whether she would return with my water. I ended up waiting around before taking the decision to leave the treatment room. Communication skills could definitely be improved. Another issue was the lack of consistency. During the scrub my therapist asked whether I was happy with my stomach being touched and I replied that I was and so she did scrub that area but she then neglected to massage my stomach when it came to the massage element of the treatment. Neither with the scrub or the massage were my hands attended to. A whole body treatment should include (and has previously included) hands and fingers - to me it’s an important part of a massage and scrub given how much we use our hands and how much work they do! Further inconsistency arose when my right hand shoulder/clavicle area was massaged but my left hand side forgotten. Another issue was the clunky transition between scrub and massage which left me having to wait in the shower cubicle after my shower for my therapist to leave the room to get me a towel. I appreciate there is a lot to do while the client is in the shower in terms of clean up from the scrub but I do feel that this could have been a little more seamless.Overall I was left feeling like I had been a little shortchanged. I picked Como Shambala because of the prior experiences I (and my husband) have had there (in the London Met) and also on our honeymoon many years ago in the Maldives and consider the hotel and spa offering to be very high quality. The price point reflects this. Unfortunately my expectations were not met and I am unlikely to return again. I did mention to the woman on the spa reception area (manager?) but wasn’t convinced she quite understood the level of my disappointment. Such a shame as I know it can be much better.

Absolutely loved our week at Yurtshire. We did have issues with our hot tub but the host couldn't have been more helpful in getting it sorted and finding a solution. Loved the 'off grid' nature of the Yurt and enjoyed getting fires going in the hot tub and inside the yurt itself. With it being in Nidderdale and on the doorstep of the dales there is loads to do if you want things to do. would 100% recommend to anyone
