£55—Cumbria spa: lunch, bubbly & facilities for 2

Lovely spa, topped off with lovely afternoon tea x

The food was nice, except we were surprised that the thick cut ham in the sandwich was in fact supermarket sandwich ham.

We came for a Travelzoo deal back in April and the "hot" hot tub was just and so luke warm. We went again, as a special treat, and once again the "hot" hot tub wasn't working properly. A friend has been in between times and she said the same. Several other people there also commented on their disappointment. No one warned us. Also, the men's shower was broken, so only cold water available. Offered the use of the tropical shower instead. Who wants to shower and wash their hair in the middle of a busy spa in full view of other people? Such a shame.

Lovely spa, everyone very welcoming, treatment was lovely, afternoon tea delicious

No pool as indicated Beautiful building - plenty of places to sit and relax Wonderful afternoon tea

Wonderful setting

This is a lovely little spa - its small but that means its restricts numbers so you do feel like its you own spa experience.

Staff very attentive and special thanks to Amy for fantastic massage and Abbie in restaurant for her joyful and accommodating personality. Gthe hotel as gorgeous views across the bay and lovely to sit outside with a glass of wine after our spa and afternoon tea, which was delicious.

Very enjoyable in a relaxed atmosphere. Staff very helpful and friendly. The afternoon tea was excellent in the lovely hotel and again the staff were excellent and efficient.

Lovely day. Will re book again via Travelzoo, great deal

Overall it was nice. And the lunch was good.

Could do with a bigger changing room with more privacy.

A wonderful relaxing experience, the spa was perfect for winding down with friends and family. Lunch was a perfect accompaniment for our day the menu was varied and the glass of fizz added that extra special touch !

Fabulous experience, the staff were helpful and attentive ensuring a lovely relaxing experience. Lunch was delicious with excellent menu choices. We would definitely recommend to friends and family and will hopefully visit again soon x

Friendly welcome, had 90 minutes use of spa, before included Lunch with Prosecco Lovely restaurant, excellent service and attention . This is our third visit,looking forward to next!

Beautiful position overlooking Morecambe Bay, nice garden very well planted. Lovely old Hotel very well ran.

I went with 7 friends. Staff are lovely and helpful. This was a great deal and we had lunch in the dining room. Fabulous views.

Great day. Lovely spa, staff really friendly & professional treatments were excellent. Environment conducive to relaxation. All areas clean and tidy. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Very relaxing

Lovely ambience in the dining area and great food.

Lovely afternoon tea, brilliant staff. On the whole a pleasant environment and spa, yet room for improvement at the spa. Mold on the wall where beds are, broken showers not informed about.

fab

Kate Sinclair over the phone was extremely friendly & helpful. The spa os small but very relaxing.

Afternoon Tea was pleasant amd good value for money.

Great little spa and lovely staff

Took a while to get through on the phone but left a message and my call was returned. Easy once we arrived. Had the Spa to ourselves which was great. Then through to the main hotel lounge for the afternoon tea.

I ordered an afternoon tea without cheese and this didn't happen until I asked the staff just before serving. Also had to remind the barman that we got a processco with it but the guy was new, he was very polite.

I have used the TravelZoo vouchers for the Netherwood a few times now. We travel from Manchester and so it isn’t exactly local but we enjoy it very much. On this latest occasion there were a couple of issues, nothing major but they did impact on our enjoyment of the day. The first issue was in the spa area. The sauna and steam room were just not how enough. Even when sitting on the top bench the rooms just did not seem to get hot. I enjoy using the cold plunge and will sit in the cold water for up to 1min 30 seconds at a time. I alternate hot and cold. When I did so on this occasion parts of my body remained cool even after sitting for 10 - 15 mins in the steam/sauna. Speaking with my group and with other users we agreed that both could have been dialled up a notch or few to give a much better thermal experience. To be clear this hasn’t been an issue on previous visits. The second issue was with the afternoon tea. The afternoon tea itself was lovely as always however, there was not enough staff. There were only 2 staff members serving the afternoon teas and they were also serving other areas of the hotel including outside the hotel. We were not even acknowledged upon arrival and so seated ourselves at our reserved table. We were left waiting whilst other guests were served and tables were cleared. We were waiting for around 20 minutes before we were even offered a glass of Prosecco and then around another 20 minutes before any food arrived. I am not blaming the staff who were clearly trying to manage the various competing demands upon them. It wasn’t clear whether the hotel had only scheduled two waiting staff or whether someone had perhaps called in sick and left them short handed but it did impact upon our experience on the day. I hope that these issues were no more than glitches and that future visits will live up to our previous experiences at The Netherwood Spa which were lovely and very much enjoyed.

The lady at the Spa Reception was really lovely on arrival I think she was in charge. The therapists were very good loved our massages.Christina&Paola..

Very well looked after

Would recommend

The Netherwood is in a beautiful location. Loved the Spa. Lunch menu was a little disappointing. Overall great value for money.

Beautiful place, enjoyed spa especially aromatherapy steam room. I thought it looked too busy when we got into spa but it wasn't and we moved about freely, not feeling rushed. Would definitely go again.

Service in the hotel was friendly, polite and nothing too much trouble.

Wonderful relaxing spa area with very good facilities and only allowing a small number of people at any given time. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The afternoon tea, in the hotel, is excellent, with an excellent assortment of sandwiches and fancy cakes and pastries. The panelled dining room is very welcoming and comfortable.

Had a lovely afternoon, staff were attentive.

Very pleasant 90 minutes in the thermal spa area & delicious afternoon tea

Very welcoming spa staff & efficient waitress & waiter serving the afternoon tea. Just a shame there isn’t a swimming pool!

A Mothers Day treat with my grown up daughters

A very relaxing day with my mum and sister to celebrate my mums birthday. It’s was fairly quiet when we arrived so was easy to move around the different areas, water provided in the dipping area which is an added bonus. The only thing we encountered was the music kept skipping which got a little annoying especially when chilling out on the loungers. Only 3 showers so you have to time it right to get a shower. Lunch was delicious.

The 1.5 hours went in no time. Enjoyed the tub room and the saunas dry and steam x delicious lunch afterwards to

Pleasant staff, made you very welcome. Small spa, with limited facilities, but very compact.

Would have liked a small swimming area. The hot tub could have been hotter. Realistically can only accommodate a small number of people.

Very nice

Really lovely, had a great time in the spa. Staff were very helpful, offering to show us around first and letting us know where to go for afternoon tea.

Fantastic venue, staff are lovely and friendly, lunch was delicious

Will definitely be back

Staff members were very friendly and helpful throughout the day. We had lunch in the restaurant which was nice however did expect the menu to have a greater variety. Very limited. Overall a lovely experience.

Beautiful setting, quality treatments, professional and friendly staff, lovely afternoon tea, would recommend without hesitation

Spa is first class and afternoon is to die for scrumpous

Clean and a pleasant experience. I found that I would have liked more than 90 mins, the time went too fast. The meal at the Hotel was very good . The staff were efficient and friendly..

I would have liked more spa rooms, not enough for a Thermal Journey, althoug( it was good for the price.
