    I stayed at Greenwoods Hotel Spa and Retreat last weekend- for a friends wedding and absolutely loved it!
    Our room was beautiful and the grounds are fantastic. My friend and I both booked treatments on Sunday and thought they were great (I would definitely recommend the body wrap!)

    The breakfast was lovely and we even decided to stay longer on our last day to have a swim and afternoon tea (the staff were really nice and said we could stay as long as we wanted!)
    I have already booked to come back for a spa day with my sister and am really looking forward to it!

    Booked a Greenwoods Hotel Day Spa experience for Mum's birthday at Greenwoods Spa. Unfortunately no treatments were available on the day so we settled for use of Spa and lunch only. The Hotel reception staff were friendly enough, however the Spa receptionist just handed over our robes with no further explanation of facilities. For a luxurious Spa I was expecting more luxury, small changing area, no complimentary products, no magazines or newspapers to read, no relaxing whale music, too many loun ...

    Greenwoods is the worst spa in England. The treatments are rushed, staff rude, facilities not very good. Relaxation room is a joke! You cannot relax in such a small untidy room especially as there is not enough beds for people. I have to say when i took my mother for her 60th birthday spa day it was a total disaster. I would NEVER recommend the place.

    I booked a surprise one night stay at Greenwoods Spa Hotel, Essex, for my Hubby. I booked this lovely spa break through last minute.com 2 for 1 Deal. We both had a 20 minute back massage, 3 course dinner and a cooked breakfast on day of departure. unlimited use of the spa. Room service was good. Not too expensive.

    I would visit again but in the summer.

    We spent 2 nights at Greenwoods Hotel Spa and Retreat, Essex this month. I have to say we weren't expecting much as when I tried to book I was told no one could take my booking so I was to phone back. If we hadn't been attending a wedding I wouldn't have bothered. When I did get through and said we had a baby I was told they would have to check with the manager whether that was allowed and then was told, rather rudely, they had no cots and no baby facilities. When we arrived the room was on the ...

    Greenwoods Hotel Spa and Retreat is like a Hilton, not bad at all, not boutique but then it doesn't sell itself as that and it is in a great location, easy to access from London but you really do feel out of the City.

    I would definitely stay there again but would prefer a package that didn't include dinner!

Birthday treat from the 2 for 1 Deal on last minute .com, what a bargain, we paid £99.00 each (four of us went) Friday night to Saturday. Our special deal consisted of 20 minute head shoulder and back massage ,3 course dinner on a arrival and breakfast on departure and unlimited use of the spa, hotel lovely and quite village. room in excellent condition food and service was good sta ...

    Following a recommendation from my boss, I bought my Mum a 3 day spa package at Greenwoods Hotel Spa and Retreat as a birthday present over the weekend. When we arrived we decided we were going to splash out because, although it was pricey, the location and building was beautiful with cheerful staff and spacious rooms. We had 3 treatments booked and our meals were included. Generally the staff were helpful and down to earth, we were lucky with the weather and so spent the last day walking around ...

    As Greenwoods Hotel Spa and Retreat advertise spa breaks you would imagine at least some to be available - but no! And then the attitude of the Duty Manager when we asked to speak to someone about it was unbelievable. She twice alluded to the fact that because we'd booked through lastminute.com she didn't care if we were disappointed! I've written a letter of complaint, if I get a response I'll update this review.

    I booked a weekend away at Green woods before reading any of the reviews online, I was worried that I'd made a mistake and could have found somewhere better for the cost. However I was delighted with my stay and couldn't recommend it anymore. I will definitely be returning to Green Woods again and will be recommending it to all my friends.

    Friendly, polite staff were helpful throughout my stay.
    The rooms were clean and very much more than I was expecting considering the price I paid.
    The food ...

    I boked a marquee at the hotel for August 24th 2008 and left the organisation to the events manager at Greenwoods Hotel. I could not have asked for a better venue, better food, or better care. It was pure magic. The rooms at the hotel were clean and very nice. Several guests had booked spa treatments and thoroughly enjoyed them. The pool is lovely and we had a great swim. This is definitely a place to recommend.

    We recently visited Greenwoods Hotel Spa and Retreat in Essex. The room was tired and awful, cluttered small, tiny wardrobe. We were attending a wedding nearby and couldn't hang our clothes up, toilet seat wouldn't stay up. Bath had no handles, making climbing over high sides to shower in a pathetic stream of water, very difficult. We had to repeatedly ask for more pillows as they were so sparse. Lovely selection of cakes out but with flies around them, a total turn off! Small gravel outside we ...

    If you are planning a spa break i have been to far better, although if you are just looking for a hotel this is ok.

    A pity. A great location. The standards in the Spa need to improve if it is to compete with places like Five Lakes.
