There are few places in the world like Champneys at Tring. Steeped in history, this elegant English stately home was opened as a health farm in 1925 by the celebrated natropath Stanley Lief, who pioneered the concept of holistic well-being. Today, Tring remains true to those roots - it is an outstanding health resort in the very heart of Hertfordshire, dedicated to the well-being of your mind, your body, your soul. And who wouldn't flourish here? Set in 170 acres of rolling parkland, a spa day at Tring will still your thoughts in a busy world. Little wonder it tops the A-list hot-list for rest and relaxation.
A £14million refurbishment is complete, including a state-of-the-art gym and cardio-fitness theatre. Yet the Rothschild Mansion retains a delicious hint of history: take tea, perhaps in the graceful Drawing Room, perfect your snooker in the Games Room, roam the manicured grounds before an invigorating swim in the new 25-metre pool. After a yoga or pilates class, flake out with a good book in the warm comfort of your room.

First of all I should mention that I went to stay a night using my Pru Health private medical insurance discount which enabled me to stay the night for £60 (Platinum level member) which included 3 meals, 1 back massage and full use of the facilities so for me the value was AMAZING!
The food was healthy and great, there was no chocolate available on the premises so I made a note to myself to next time smuggle some in.
The room was sufficient, nothing special, just a standard room as expected.
The facilities were all clean and sanitized and I loved the steam room.
My back massage was a little mediocre, it didn't really rate it that highly but I'm not complaining seeing as it was free.
The Iothermie Ultimate treatment which I paid for separately (£90) did not make me lose the inches I had hoped for so I kind of feel like I wasted my money there. It was very strange having electric pads pulsating my muscles. The therapist was lovely though.
I'm definitely going back, perhaps not to Tring but a different Champneys.
