Another bargain break, with breakfast, dinner and use of the spa. We were a little worried on the way there as you drive through an industrial estate to get to the hotel. The hotel itself is one third 17th century Hall and two thirds modern extension. The actual hall is lovely, but you enter through the modern side. Here is their link – Hellaby Hall

We stayed two nights on a weekend break. The room was comfortable and spacious, although it could have done with  a refurb.

Food and drink

We went for dinner as 2 courses were included in the deal, which was delicious, with little wait. Not surprising as apart from us there were only two other tables dining in a rather large restaurant.

That evening we sat in the bar in the Hall, which was nice, even though the hotel is also used as a wedding venue and that can make you feel like an unwanted guest!

Breakfast was included with  a pleasantly surprising selection and again friendly staff.

Spa

Use of the large 20 metre pool, sauna, steam room and gym is free for guests and towels are provided. The pool has an adult only section, which is great as it is open to the public with membership. There are beauty treatments, but it’s not really a spa, more a pool with extras.

Summary

We didn’t get the spa feel we were after, but I think it is a case of “you get what you pay for”, and we made the most with our own face packs and the mini break.
