Champneys Forest Mere

" Dear Champneys, I came to Champneys for the night of Friday 18th November. My mum, Annie Bartosik, organised it as a special treat for me, for the night before my wedding. My two friends and I were in the most beautiful room! We had such a lovely evening together and it was great to have the girls to share my room, in support and in preparation for my wedding the next day. Waking up and overlooking the mist on the lake was such a special thing for me. My grandparents used to live at the lodge house, a little further down the drive at Forest Mere. I used to spend all my weekends staying with my grandparents there, as a child. It felt like a second home, and to wake up the morning of my wedding there was just wonderful. All the staff at Champneys were very kind and welcoming, and made our stay extra special. I can't praise them enough. My husband has heard all about our wonderful stay there. I am planning on booking him a weekend there next summer, as a surprise for him. Thanks again. Lucy "

Champneys Spa Products

" I have purchased the “Age Excellence” collection and have been using it for a couple of weeks, Well what can I say, it’s brilliant. I normally use Estee Lauder, Re-Nutriv, and have done so for the past 10 years. The cost of the complete “Age Excellence” range is less than one Re-Nutriv cream! The results, just from a two week period, are fantastic. The product offers great value for money, and more importantly, RESULTS. For an “older person” working in a climate of less expendable income, it ticks all the boxes. "

Boot Camp - Champneys Tring

" The Boot Camp week was tough but the instructors were there to support and encourage everyone to help them achieve their full potential. Following a varied and fun programme of activities, everyone was able to work at their own pace. I tried out new sports such as spinning and aerobics and joined in outdoor games and waterpolo which I had not done for years. The workouts were challenging but by the end of the week I was able to do so much more than I had expected to my amazement. My fitness improved dramatically and so did my shape. The experience had such an impact on our group that we came back for more and thoroughly enjoyed a reunion weekend catching up and seeing how well everyone had done since the camp. Thanks to Nick and Michelle’s enthusiasm we may even meet up again!’’ "

" It is the best spa I have ever been at - it was a perfect thing to do at New Year as it really helped me start the year feeling revitalised - I rate it 100 percent on everything. The exercise classes were great, especially hula hooping and stretching, the trainers were helpful and friendly, the building, rooms and facilities were excellent and it was warm enough, the pool area was wonderful, the grounds were fantastic, the food was superb, the service was excellent. We attended fun stuff too, the tarot reading was really good, the treatments were wonderful. I honestly cannot find fault with any of it and am definately coming back! "

" A short note to thank you hugely for our short stay at Tring last week. We were made to feel like kings by all the wonderful staff there. It was my girlfriend's birthday treat and she was thrilled. We loved all the treatments - and the snooker table ! We hope to come back again and will have no hesitation in recommending Champney's to all our friends. Thanks for a memorable and relaxing stay, "

" I've been many times before so you must be doing something right or I wouldn't keep coming back!! It was fabulous as always. I think you probably provide everything one would want from a health resort. "

Club Membership

" Champneys Club member Jane Tucker has turned her life around since discovering shocking news about her health after visiting the doctor, and the appointments that followed. As well as high cholesterol and a high BMI, Jane had bad joints and felt constantly breathless. She says, ‘I was so shocked at the results. Your life races in front of your very eyes when you are told your heart is old and battered.’ It was time to sit up and pay attention. Jane started cooking healthier meals and the weight started to drop off which made it easier for her to stick to a new diet. Jane also worked on the emotional side of her eating, the importance of understanding and realising why she was eating and taking positive steps to overcome this. Life has also been very different since becoming a Champneys club member – 12 months on Jane has now been told by the doctor that she has the fitness of an athlete and the heart of a 37year old. She says, ‘I feel fantastic and am blown away with my own achievements. I can now enjoy so many activities and I’m never out of the gym. I love it! She says, ‘The fitness team have been so supportive and inspirational but it has to be said the whole team throughout the resort at Champneys are faultless. I pass on my thanks and appreciation to everyone at Champneys Springs.' "

" I wanted to cry when I was shown round it was so nice. I've always wanted to go to Champneys and thanks to mum and dad for a wonderful birthday pressie. It is something I will never forget. "

" It was all amazing. We thought the food at lunch was delicious and very fresh. The Service was outstanding. The beauty therapists were very good and knowledgeable.An all-round lovely experience "

Jennie David, September 2010

Champneys Tring

" I had very high expectations, after a perfect Traditional Week last year, and all my expectations were met again this year. We were lucky enough to get Room 21 this year, so the room exceeded my expectations. I honestly don't have any complaints - your service is second to none, your staff are friendly and professional and the environment absolutely conducive to relaxation. "

Jo Lateu, August 2010

Champneys Forest Mere

" I last visited Champneys some 5 years ago and I feel the food has vastly improved since then. The service was excellent. I found the therapists all very polite and informative. My daughter particularly enjoyed her 1st visit and talking to the therapists, as she too is about to commence a course in Beauty Therapy. She loved her chocolate wrap! Sadly we were unable to attend any of the talks, as we had treatments, but speaking to some other guests, they had found them interesting, and not something they would have normally taken part in. "

Rosalind Ross, August 2010

Champneys Henlow

" The welcoming that we received on arrival, the yoga class and the hoolahooping class were of an excellent standard. The lunch was both relaxing and delicious and beautifully served. The gardens were lovely; a good place to spend time and relax with a drink and a good book!! We sat by the waterfall and almost dozed off! "

Pam Raven, August 2010

Champneys Springs

" The food as always and the politeness of all the staff that we had dealings with all were well mannered and very attentive to our needs. "

Jean Miller, August 2010

Kathryn, July 2010

" Not getting much time off, it was lovely to spend the whole weekend with my wife at the idyllic Champneys resort. As soon as I put my white dressing gown on and sat by the river I felt instantly relaxed. We had a fantastic time enjoying the treatments…not to mention the huge healthy buffet lunch which was perfect for my big appetite! "

Ollie Kohn, Harlequins Rugby Player, July 2010

Champneys Springs

" We had a superbly enjoyable day. We loved the welcome we received from your staff all of whom were polite, helpful and kind. There was a man in the grounds as we left the car park who greeted us with a "Good morning" and a smile and that set the scene for the entire day. I would say that the young lady who did the original booking for me asked me if I had been before and when I said "No" said "You will love it" and she was right.’ "

Sylvia, July 2010

Champneys Tring

" We visited Champneys Tring recently for my friends Hen Weekend. It was fantastic fun. We had great weather so we were able to enjoy sitting out on the terrace. The staff were all so helpful and all went out of their way to ensure my friend had a weekend to remember. The resort has changed so much since my last visit 5 years ago- but all for the best may I add. The facilities are great, the food is delicous, and the treatments were very relaxing. I am sure that we will all be making another visit soon. "

Louise, July 2010

" My wife and I plus our daughter and her boyfriend, spent a Long Weekend in June at Champneys in Tring and what an amazing place it is. We've stayed before and have always enjoyed ourselves,but this time it was simply amazing! The staff were first class, extremely smart and very professional. There is a vast selection of treatments for women AND men too!!!!!We were thoroughly pampered by the treatment staff who are trained to perfection.’ "

Terry, July 2010

Champneys Henlow

" I really appreciated the fact that guests are left to do their own thing but that there is always a staff member at hand if you do need assistance. The setting is very beautiful, I enjoyed the grounds, geese and rabbits very much! I also loved the country walks. "

Lorraine, July 2010

" My husband and I spent a long weekend here in late June, as birthday treat for me what can I say it was the best present ever. "

Nichola, June 2010

Champneys Springs

" I went for an overnight break and it was wonderful, the staff are very attentive and experienced, nothing is too much trouble, the treatments I had were all wonderful...all in all an excellent 2 days. "

Laney, June 2010

Champneys Henlow

" I'm sure this is not the flashiest Spa you'll find, but I challenge you to find a nicer pool and happen to think the English heritage and character is very much in its favour.. Who wants "corporate carpets" and staff that have had their personality/flexibility drilled out of them? I'd swap that for a big old sofa and a fireplace any day of the week "

Duncan, June 2010

Champneys Tring

" I've just returned from a very relaxing 'weekend minibreak' with family. We were all extremely impressed with the resort: the decor is beautiful, the staff could not have been more helpful, accommodating and friendly, and the facilities are excellent "

" I will never be able to thank you enough for such a wonderful holiday, I am hugely impressed. The way you run Champneys Tring is extraordinary; everything has been perfect and the staff have been incredibly kind and the service second to none. The treatments and products are the best I have found and the kriotherapy chamber is my new favourite thing! I will be back here weekly or I might just set up camp! "
