Horwood House hotel review: I enjoyed a festive party mother/daughter spa trip - with prosecco, treatments and matching Christmas pyjamas

The festive package is an absolute must and I had the most special time with my mum - making memories that we will always remember. It was the perfect stay and allows you to spend quality time with whoever it is that you take along with you. It could be your mum, a friend or even your partner.

Horwood House offers a quaint countryside retreat set in acres of stunning grounds featuring free Wi-Fi, a gym, an indoor pool and free parking. It has a picturesque setting and its Christmas decorations really makes the visit a cosy and festive one.

The festive package includes a pair of your very own Christmas PJs, bubbles, a grazing platter, spa treatments for a really relaxing staycation yet. In our room we were greeted to a bottle of prosecco and our matching pyjamas - which my mum and I put on after dinner. It was so cute and we still wear them around the house now.

When we arrived we had lunch at the hotel, at Harry’s Bar, where we enjoyed a delicious sharing platter of cured meats, olives, hummus. We had dinner in the same spot later that evening - where the atmosphere completely transformed. There were many Christmas parties on with a lot of people having drinks at the bar, and having dinner, and it was a great party vibe. The stay was a perfect mix of having relaxation, being pampered but then also having a good time and a bit of a party!

The dinner itself was amazing and delicious - we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The steak was cooked to perfection, and my mum was raving about the seabass saying it was the best she had ever tasted. For dessert we both had meringue ad polished it all off, despite being so full (it was that good).

We both enjoyed some wine and we were offered cocktails by the waiting staff. We were really looked after throughout the whole stay. The staff were really great and it made the stay even lovelier.

The hotel boasts a beautiful spa where you can get many treatments, take a leisurely swim in the pool, and make use of the sauna and steam room. It is a really relaxing environment and I very nearly fell asleep on the heated sunbed before my facial. The only negative was that there were few beds to lounge on around the pool so you have to be quick and wait for when others leave. But, there are chairs alongside the pool to put your things and you can have a dip while you wait.

The facial was exactly what I needed while my mum had her scalp massage - which she said was much-needed too. We felt very pampered, refreshed and relaxed, and it was great to share this experience with my mum and spend some time together.

The room itself was so spacious and a great space to come back to, to relax and unwind even further. The bed was extremely comfy and we had a lovely view of the expansive grounds from our window. There was an array of food to choose from at breakfast the next morning, and it was also very entertaining seeing some hungover people from the Christmas parties the night before.

All in all our stay here was fabulous and we really didn’t want to leave. We had the best time, and I would encourage everyone to visit, enjoy themselves, and spend some quality time with that special person in their lives.
