"We visited Cisswood House on a groupon deal for a spar and treatments; We had a couple of hours first in the hot tub, gym, pool and Sauna which was lovely and very relaxing which is what we needed. The building has a beautiful original part and a new hotel which isn’t that pretty added to the back. The team team had great as we had booked and had to cancel a few times due to hospital this is also part of the reason for such a good score too. The treatments I was a little disappointed as I got a head and shoulder massage and facial but it was more like a gentle stroke it was relaxing but wouldn’t have really called it reflexology, massage etc. My partner described his treatment as much more intensive and deeper. So I have reduced the score by one. The staff where all amazing, lovely and engaging. Tom is the bar is the hidden gem of this place a polite and very helpful man and did his best to ensure all guest where happy and cared for. As the place looked nice we decided to stay for a three course Sunday lunch at £25 per head. Starter Ham hock Terrine, which was lovely but had a very overpowering home made chutney all over it, would have been better on the side or in a small dish but still amazing tastes. We both went for beef and again three huge slices, nice roast potatoes and veg, it came with cauliflower cheese (didn’t say this on the menu but I’m allergic to cheese) however it was in a side dish so the kitchen very kindly and with no fuss swapped for a couple of extra roasties, a good swap in my book. The food was beautiful but slightly over salted and I’ve seen other comments to that too, luckily I hand not seasoned the food before eating it so it was fine but they should reduce the salt in their prep. The pudding, was sticky toffee and butterscotch sauce with clotted cream but sadly was served with ice cream instead but was still lovely. All in all was a beautiful day, in a beautiful setting, with great staff and food above average and if it wasn’t for slightly too salty and bits mentioned as well as both treatments not being the same we would have easily given 5 stars. We will go back and will probably boom one of the entertainment nights which look fun and t only £49 for a meal and act and then a dance at the end for to be worth a visit."
