Careys Manor Hotel & SenSpa

We had an absolutely wonderful spa weekend from start to finish. The hotel is beautiful, our room was immaculate and comfortable (the bathroom a little outdated, but still very much clean and presentable) and the spa facilities were exceptional - clean, relaxing and incredibly well maintained. The treatments were fantastic, leaving us feeling completely refreshed, and the food was delicious with excellent service throughout. What really made our stay special was the staff. Every member of the team was warm, friendly, professional and genuinely committed to making our stay memorable.

Well, what can I say about Carey's manor, other than it is my little sanctuary. Such a beautiful hotel with the most relaxing grounds/gardens. Fabulous, friendly staff. Stunning rooms, luxurious hydro spa at a reasonable price of £39 for 2 hours rain showers with lights and bird sounds, crystal steam room, aromatherapy sauna, tepidarium, relaxation room and also a quite room. Treatments are available at an extra cost. Access to leisure facilities included in your stay, including swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, and gym. Just an absolute gem in the heart of the new forest. Close to Lymington, and Lyndhurst. Lots of fabulous places to eat. I've been here twice in 2 weeks and already planning our next stay! Thank you Carey's Manor, for an incredible stay once again.

Overall, we had a lovely stay and I don’t have much to complain about. However, it did just leave something to be desired. We stayed over the August bank holiday weekend so it was pretty pricey. For the what we paid, the rooms were underwhelming - there was no aircon, the bed wasn’t the most comfortable, and overall just seemed outdated. We ate at both restaurants on site. The Thai restaurant was lovely and we had a great meal. However the other restaurant, Cambium, was lackluster for both dinner and breakfast. The one major plus to the hotel was the staff. Every single staff member we interacted with was incredibly professional and welcoming. They really were the stars of the weekend. Like I said, we had a lovely stay, just wasn’t amazing and didn’t quite meet our expectations.

Mum and I have just returned from Carey’s 1-night b&b and evening meal package combined with senspa 1-day spa experience, and I can’t speak highly enough of the entire visit. From start to finish, everything was wonderfully managed. The reservation process was seamless, check in was quick and easy, and our room overlooking the garden was beautiful and immaculately clean. The dining experience was equally impressive. The evening meal was delicious - pork belly starter and chicken schnitzel for main. Breakfast was exceptional, offering one of the best selections I’ve seen in a long time. Spa day itself was superb and included a delicious 2-course Thai lunch. A special mention to Natasha hostess with the mostest clearly explaining everything and very courteous. Mum had the plant power body massage with holly and I the herbal poultice with instinct, followed by an eminence facial with pat. The quality of the treatments were exceptional! Honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had in the uk. It wasn’t just the products but the organisation, professionalism, politeness but the expertise and overall attention to detail that really stood out. The initial cost is high but when broken down into the elements it’s very good value for money. Most importantly we achieved what was our intention- feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. A huge thank you to everyone that contributed to make our experience special.
