1 nights business trip
The hotel is nice. Stay was was okay, layout is horrible, very long walk from car park with bags to some of the rooms like mine. Got lost many times, signs aren’t clear. Lack of information about hotel in the room. Restaurant shut when I arrived could only have watermelon or cake from a coffee bar.

A premier inn would be money better spent
Arrived at 11:30pm to sit and wait 30 mins for the system to work so I could check in. Once issued a room I’m glad I was shown it as it was a maze and was placed in the further possible room even though the place was empty. Once in the room, I could tell it had not been stayed in for weeks, the bath had 2 dead moths and a spider in it, around the window the spiders had put up webs and the whole room had a smell about it. Breakfast was ok, I guess to make it healthy they give you a plate the size of a side plate to keep the portions down.

Old fashioned !
It is a lovely venue and the Spa facilities are lovely BUT the hotel part is dated and old fashioned. TV in my room was Aldi Cello tv ! Carpets and furnishings are old fashioned. Bathroom is dated with cracked floor tiles. I think for the money and the name of Champneys it needs some money spending on it.

Nice and chilled
Lovely hotel, very nice and chilled. Staff were very friendly. Good varied breakfast options. If staying for one night, would prefer an earlier check in rather than paying extra. But would stay again.

The rooms were ok but there was times where the sink was blocked and took ages for the water to filter through and there was towels missing in the changing rooms. Breakfast was limited.

Amazing
An amazing place to stay. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate me! As I was on business I had to leave early and missed breakfast. They made me a “packed” meal to have on the go! Just exceptional!

1st impression and facilities appear nice, we stayed for the spa. There were a lot of small issues that really made the stay poor. The refreshments (drinks) in the welcome lounge appeared to be fresh juice though tasted more like squash (diluted). We were given a robe and sandals on arrival and our robes had security tags on them. Only after paying for the stay were we presented with full information regarding use of the facilities. The 'Spa' is nothing more than a recreational pool (approx 1.2m deep) with a communal sauna at 60 degrees celcius - this is actually less facilities than my local swimming pool (which costs £4 to enter). The changing rooms were unclean and in the men's the steam room was cold and the handle broken on the door exposing the rusted screws. The men's changing room also contains a sauna, which was hot the first day (90 degrees C) and warm the following day (75 degrees C). The women's changing room contained only a steam room which was cold and there was stagnant water in the showers with lots of dead flies. There are many varied workout rooms, ranging from functional fitness to classes to regular gym equipment, which we did not use though looked very good. We stayed in a standard room, which was small and clean though not as comfortable as our home bedroom. The room was adequate. The breakfast buffet was cold and the fruit had spoiled (was beginning to ferment). Overall we will not be returning to any Champneys and instead will use other spas.

Nice property and grounds. Everything costs extra so be prepared to spend a lot. Even a cooked breakfast costs extra. Probably worthwhile if you book a spa weekend, but with an overnight stay you don’t have any time to make use of facilities and if you would like to stay to use facilities after check out that’s another £35 pp. Very expensive but nice staff. Gluten free options limited at breakfast, offer was a gluten free burger bun…

Excellent Mini break
This was my first visit to Champneys Henlow and some previous reviews had been poor, but I personally found the hotel very clean and all of the staff warm and welcoming. The waitress, especially Lizzie were very sociable, i would gladly rebook.
