What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music!

The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay).

There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay).

On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay).

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume.

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course.

On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks.

On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates!

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay).

There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay).

On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay).

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music!

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course.

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided.

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury.

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course.

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided.

The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course.

On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks.

There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay).

On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course.

We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury.

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course.

On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay).

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay).

On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course.

We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course.

(When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

(When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided.

On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided.

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury.

On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay).

The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music!

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course.

On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided.

The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course.

On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course.

There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay).

There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay).

On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course.

We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music! I had chosen to have a Spa Find Intensive Mineralising facial treatment My therapist naturally seemed to tune into my mood and initially talked me through the treatment –until I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep –but not before I felt both the invigorating and revitalising benefits of this facial which was followed with a facial, neck and shoulder massage! How blessed am I! I felt so relaxed afterwards and my skin felt sooo.. smooth All the girls in the party were as impressed with their massage and facials as I was – and everyone voted to ‘come back again’.br/>

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What were the treatments like?

I love treatments that begin with me lying on a gently warmed massage bed, enveloped in gorgeous aromatic fragrances and soothing music!

What does it look like?

Donnington Valley is a large modern hotel in a beautiful landscaped setting, overlooking its 18 hole golf course and is off the M4 motorway –about a mile from Newbury. This location makes it an ideal meeting place –and although it isn’t far from the motorway –you can’t hear traffic noise. There is plentiful complimentary car parking, which in turn leads you directly up a few steps into the light and spacious reception area. br/>

What happens when you get there?

Our group had been invited to stay overnight to experience both the hotel and spa facilities, so the very friendly reception staff checked us in. We were then taken on a brief tour of the hotel and spa areas, and provided with an explanation of the facilities –we were then showed to our rooms where we got changed into swimming costumes and headed off for our pre-booked spa treatments. br/>

What do the bed rooms look like?

The bedrooms are elegant, roomy and many have great views over the golf course. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was surprisingly large –with both a bath and a walk in shower enclosure and luxurious Italian marble wall and floor tiling. br/>

What was the food like?

Both excellent (full buffet) breakfast and a’ la carte dinner are served in the award winning Wine Press restaurant, whose atmosphere seemed to change to suit either morning or evening dining! The choices of both modern and traditional menus offer diners a great selection including: Fillet of Sea bass, Braised shin of Beef, Noisette of Lamb, plus a great vegetarian selection – through to delicious deserts such as a Tale of Three Chocolates! Very, very lovely! .

What were the Spa Facilities like?

On the ground floor the spa facilities include an 18m pool, hydro pool, steam room, sauna, aromatherapy room, monsoon shower as well as a relaxation area with loungers and a sheltered outdoor terrace overlooking the golf course. There is also a state of the art gym and exercise studio as well as a ‘chill out cafe’ area –serving hot and cold beverages and light snacks. The changing rooms have plenty of locker space and shampoo, body wash and moisturiser are also provided. The area has under-floor heating and there are hair dryers and a water spinner for your swimming costume. The Sonoma Suite has 6 spacious treatment rooms which are located on the upper floor, along with a separate relaxation room with an outdoor terrace that looks out over the golf course. (When you book a spa package, you are allocated a "spa bedroom" at the spa end of the building and you are also provided with a robe and towelling slippers for use during your stay). On sale in the treatment area were products including the new cid make up range –couldn’t stop myself from buying from the i-pout range! br/>
