Elan Spa at Mallory Court

"I have visited Elan Spa at Mallory Court several times, and have always been very impressed with the quality of the venue and the welcoming professional service of the staff. I particularly like the country views from the outdoor sauna and jacuzzi. The treatments are also a little different too. "

"My visit to Elan spa took place mid week and was a half day spa including afternoon tea. The building is impressive from the outside and there is plenty of parking. The spa is in a rural location so it’s peaceful. I was greeted at reception and shown round - very briefly. The changing rooms are tiny and rather cramped. More then 4 people makes for a lack of privacy and space when changing. The pool is also fairly small with a limited number of loungers, not a pool to do lengths in, but it has 2 massage fountains and a small hydrotherapy seating area. The inside sauna and steam room are also small - seating more than 4 people would be uncomfortable. Everything was spotless, robes and towels were provided, with extra towels if needed. The outside hydrotherapy pool and sauna are lovely with views of the garden and tennis court. The outside pool can seat 4 comfortably, 6 at a push. My treatment took place upstairs in a treatment area separate to the spa area downstairs, and the girl who carried out my mini facial and neck and back massage was excellent and the treatment was relaxing. It started with an aromatherapy mood experience and the bowl with oils was placed under the treatment table so the smell stayed during the massage, which was lovely. The spa use ESPA products. Afterwards, I was disappointed to find there was no quiet relaxation area available, Only some chairs outside the treatment area, which was busy and a bit noisy. I was offered a herbal tea here, which was nice but I didn’t stay long as it wasn’t relaxing The afternoon tea took place in a cafe style area to one side of reception, overlooking the pool. The afternoon tea was delicious with cakes, scones and a small selection of sandwiches. The ambience of the cafe unfortunately feels a bit like a motorway service station and the service was not great. I had to ask twice for tea and the staff seemed rushed and overstretched. Similar to reception. The spa wasn’t busy so it didn’t feel crowded, except in the changing rooms, which was a squash at times. If there were more than 10 people using this spa, it wouldn’t be a relaxing experience. I’d award Elan Spa 4 bubbles, I can’t award it 5 due to the lack of relaxation area, the cramped changing facilities and the cafe ambience and service. "

"Orchard House is imposing, built next to the old tennis courts on a site which once included a former `helipad`, the house provides 12 luxury rooms sitting above a very impressive series of spa rooms which includes a steam room and sauna, a beautifully tiled outdoor Jacuzzi and `Swedish sauna`, indoor swimming pool and its very own Spa café room. My 55 minute ESPA relaxing facial that included a back, neck, and shoulder massage was peaceful, comforting and calming. The facilities in Elan Spa were exceptional, with all the gym, and spa facilities under one roof and easily accessible from my room. The exceptional new spa facilities including the outdoor seated patio area makes it possible to pop outside for a quick dip or enjoy a drink, even when the weather is not so good. A wonderful relaxing quiet spa, set in beautiful surroundings. "
