WHERE IS THIS? Whittlebury Hall, Whittlebury, Nr Towcester, Northamptonshire, NN12 8QH. This is a hotel, Management Training Centre, leisure centre and day spa as well as a golf course. It is just near Silverstone racetrack so I suspect it might get busy when there is a big race there so this might be a time to avoid. I booked through Lastminute.com but then I did phone the hotel directly after booking in order to find out more about the spa and treatments they had on offer. They were delightful and explained everything to me, suggested that I visit the day spa website to see the treatments and also tipped me off about the fact that you ...  Read the complete review

As a treat for my friends birthday I paid for me and her to spend the day at Whittlebury Hall and although we didn't spend the night there, just one day using the spa and facilities was a very interesting experience. The first obstacle that we faced when visiting Whittlebury Hall was actually finding the place. We decided to scrap the sat nav as it wasn't working properly and my friend, reckoned that she knew the way. Being unprepared was a very bad idea as, you can probably guess, we got extremely lost and ended up just driving round the villages surrounding Whittlebury. After stopping about five times to ask directions, we finally reached the village in ...  Read the complete review

I stayed at the Whittlebury Hall with my girlfriend when I took her rally driving for her birthday. If you are researching this hotel and planning to go to Silverstone, I don't think there is a hotel closer. We were attending the rally school which was just around the corner. I had booked a package which included 2 nights stay, breakfast and dinner on both days and the 'Heat and Ice' experience at the spa. I can't remember how much it cost me then, but at the moment they are offering this package for £65 per person per night - i.e. £260. Upon arriving, the hotel is very grand and beautiful. You'll see this from any pictures you see online. We ...  Read the complete review

Hotel looks quite smart and well presented, but customer service is non-existent. It amazes me how they survive the credit crunch with their general attitude. We arrived for a spa break, but actually missed the day because they had no lockers left due to over-booking. Apparently they have no control over people extending their stay. Having spoken with the Manager we were persuaded to try again the next day and were allowed to stay after the 11am deadline, which was very generous of them considering everybody just stays anyway! Just to make matters worse, she then suggested we had a good drink to forget our experience! I dont see getting drunk as ...  Read the complete review

Express Review on Whittlebury Hall

Terrible customer service, and be warned, KEEP your reciepts, a month later, they sent my mum a large invoice for products and treatments she had paid for on the day, all I can say is thankfully she used her credit card and had the statement as proof of payment. She had spent nearly £500 and this is the way they treated her! My sister complained to the manager the day after we'd been and never got a reply, I sent the manager a complaint letter by special delivery, so I know they received it, but I too did not get a reply, they are so rude.
ADVICE- choose a different spa, do not go here.
