Lifehouse Spa & Hotel


The Lifehouse Spa & Hotel is a contemporary spa set in English Heritage-Listed Thorpe Hall Gardens close to the pretty Essex town of Frinton-on-Sea. The spa has a large, dramatic pool area with grey, almost industrial, pillars, and huge twisted ropes decorating the walls. If you’re looking for cocooning quiet, try The Hidden Sanctuary for a more private experience. As well as traditional spa treatments, Lifehouse offers health and wellbeing consultations from resident specialists including fitness, life coaching, nutrition, weight loss and holistic therapies.

"My favourite spa especially when I can afford to upgrade to a garden room on an overnight stay - I prefer it when it's not too busy so reluctant to leave a review and let others even know about this place! It's my secret escape!"

"Genuinely disappointing experience. The full body massage was painful. The products used for facial were unpleasant smelling. Food - steak served well done when asked for medium rare. The chef argued we didn’t know what we were talking about as it was how it should be for the way it had been cooked. Made us both feel very uncomfortable. He wouldn’t have known my friend who I was with owns her own cafe and is a professional foodie. Rooms - perfectly pleasant With comfortable beds Staff- generally would say miserable and inattentive apart from the lovely lady who was embarrassed to pass on the chefs opinion on the steaks. Pool- nice pool and awesome ice pool On the whole a disappointing stay. Fed back my comments after but was brushed off and they really weren’t interested. Won’t be returning. So bad it was funny (fawtly towers funny) "
