Combe Grove - Health and Wellbeing Centre - Bath

Came to take in the stunning south facing views, over the valley in a quiet private estate like setting. We had a lovely meal over lunch and enjoy the views from the rooms in the manor house. We could’ve spent many hours there just lounging and relaxing. We would return again, as it was a surprise highlight of our travels from Bath to the Cotswolds

Blown away by the knowledge, empowerment, time and space shared by this idyllic retreat. This programme is packed, and seriously backed up by evidence and the infectious enthusiasm of some extraordinary professionals. There is something new to try for everyone. I don’t hesitate to give Combe Grove 5* and am supporting its even bigger ambitions in the future. A truly unique and inspiring experience - thank you!

A lovely place to stay situated in beautiful country, spacious bedrooms with extensive fittings and a property supplied with a wide range of facilities. One can be kept very busy with an informative range of talks, discussions, and one to one sessions with very well qualified leaders. All of the staff were enthusiastic about their subjects and emanated a wonderful spirit of enjoyment. I left a healthier person with determination to maintain this adjusted way of life

We had such a great stay at the hotel. We had stumbled upon it online, and were very pleasantly surprised. We had booked directly with them, and when we arrived, we had discovered they had upgraded us to a valley view room, that was very beautiful, along with the some of the best chocolates in our room. The grounds of the hotel were absolutely stunning. Definitely visiting again soon.

Had a lovely stay at Combe Grove. Such a beautiful property with plenty do to. We had very poor service when booking before we arrived with delayed responses to emails and it being hard to phone them and someone answer the phone (despite it saying on their website to book direct via phone or email). Thankfully when we arrived we had much better service. Was disappointing that the restaurant was booked out weeks before hand for breakfast and dinner especially when there's no fridge or microwave in rooms so you have to go into town if you want to eat. It's a shame the restaurant isn't given priority to guests. We stayed in a balcony room in the lodge and it was lovely. Overall a good stay and we would stay again.

Should be amazing but isn’t. Lack of sufficient maintenance of the core facilities and focus on residential metabolic health retreats to the detriment of long term members mean Combe Grove falls far short of what it could and should be. The location is stunning and deserves a much better run club than is currently offered.

From the outset the grounds and main building are beautiful, followed by a really lovely older lady on check in which to be fair was the highlight of our stay, she was simply wonderful.

From there it was less pleasing, but I can't be too critical as all in all it was fine. The breakfast was ok, although it lacked a few items I'd have enjoyed as the cooked breakfast was served in Bain Marie's as opposed to cooked to order. You have to pay extra for a flat white (which ok I agree with had it been any other time of the day, but it should come as part of breakfast at no extra cost). The breakfast area is in the bar and in the bistro all of which have windows overlooking the lovely scenery, but none of the tables were placed in the windows and it was lined up like a school dinner hall, we of course done some DIY and moved our table in to the window (as you can see in the photos) to the delight of some staff but to the dismay of others (one staff member in particular but it's not worth going there, as unlike the others she seemed as though she was there for the money and to get home as quickly as possible)

The rooms too are basic and lacked essentials such as a fridge, bottle opener, fresh milk etc. Little attention is paid to the cleanliness as we found the room to have cup ring residue on the surfaces and quite dusty. views were a "woodland" view which I don't really have an opinion on but would have preferred more of the rolling hills view. It was comfortable don't get me wrong and I guess you get what you pay for (and what's available).

The worst part of this is the leisure facilities in particular the pool and changing rooms (popped my head in the gym which looked good and had some good equipment) but the pool area was very dirty and NOTHING worked. This area needs serious attention as it really let's the rest of the place down. I spoke to someone who was a member and I asked is it always like this and he said yes, and they are going to leave as it's been like that for months, despite multiple requests from members to fix the place up and get everything in working order.I would have put 4 stars had the full experience have been there but by no means is it a 4 star hotel.

The staff were all pleasant and helpful so I guess theres not really any room for improvement there. So all in all I've had to give this 3 stars. I would of course come back if the facilities were to be improved.

Absolute gem in the countryside near Bath. The welcome by John was friendly and efficient and he escorted us to our room. We had a garden terrace room away from the main house and we were very impressed. The views spectacular. The walk to the main house was less than 3 mins but you do need to be mobile due to steps. The steps are not steep or high steps so manageable. The staff were knowledgeable and welcoming
Introducing locally sourced produce including beers and gins. Food exceptional. Perfect break... inc driving range tennis courts swimming pool and spa... even classes to join all free to guests...
Fantastic place.... downside....hmmmm prices not evident.. when adding items to your room.
