Bannatyne’s Charlton House

Romantic and relaxing get away.
My other half and I love this place and go once or twice a year in the winter. It’s a beautiful hotel with a number of tastefully themed rooms. We particularly like the privacy of the garden lodge which is seperate from the main hotel, and the pigeon loft. The garden lodge even has a little kitchen removing the necessity of leaving the room ;)
The customer service here is amazing as the staff are not only helpful but also charming. The food in the restaurant and lounge is good and the wine is exceptionally tasty.
We keep going with the intention of exploring the local area but every time we just end up relaxing in the hotel. The spa includes a number of steam rooms, sauna, scented showers and small swimming pool that extends outside. I sample the massage and facial treatments available extensively and have always been pleased. We tend to go mid week as it ensures we practically have the spa to ourselves.
Unfortunately you can’t bring dogs so we’re unlikely to be going back.

Excellent food, pleasant staff, nice surroundings. Prices top end but worth it. Odd to be in your Sunday best when some people are in their dressing gowns having taken advantage of the spa facilities
