Nettlecoombe Spa

Overall we had a lovely, relaxing stay.

There were just a few things that meant we probably wouldn't visit again. We were expecting the property to be a little more private and secluded. Nettlecoombe is right next to reception and overlooked by neighbouring properties. We felt a little awkward being outside in the garden when we saw our neighbours looking out of their bedroom window. We were also disturbed by workmen working noisily outside the cottage during our stay. Not ideal when you want a quiet relaxing break. While we wanted quiet and privacy, we weren't expecting to be so far away from everything. We were disappointed to see the onsite restaurant closed after 5pm. It would have been nice to have lovely evening meals. We do like to have a drink while on holiday with dinner, but there aren't any restaurants or pubs you can walk to. So the only other option is to cook and stay in the cottage. I would have also expected a few touches to be provided inside the cottage that would have made our stay more enjoyable. Things like a few complimentary dishwasher tablets so you don't have to hand-wash dishes on holiday or buy a big bag of your own. A cleaning spray would have been useful for wiping down kitchen surfaces. There were also a few dirty dishes that previous guests hadn't cleaned properly. Being a luxury resort, I would have expected robes and slippers to be provided. Overall we had a nice time, but not ideal for us.
