One night memorable break

With a range of locations and hotels to chose from, we opted for the Talbot Hotel in the lovely market town of Ledbury. The Talbot like many of the building in the town is a picturesque timber framed building bursting witj character. Our room was a good size and very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we stepped through the door. Would definitely recommend this for an overnight break.

Buckso · 29-08-2024

So glad we changed the voucher!

So this has got be one of the best spa experiences ever had! When I fall asleep in a facial, you know its a good one, Abbie was the epitome of what it is to be a spa therapist. The drive fro Derbyshire, yes i s a long one at just over 3hrs but, the comfiness of the beds and chill factor if the spa really helped us unwind quickly! Staff all very attentive and no issue went unresolved. Highly recommended! NO KIDS defo a bonus

Red letter made booking so easy.

My Husband found the ease of ordering a voucher through Red Letter very easy with a great selection. I, in turn, found it very easy to use my voucher to book the Lifehouse Spa.

Postponed stay

Unfortunately & sadly we had to postpone our stay as we had a family bereavement and hope to get to the hotel very shortly. As you can understand we haven’t set a new date yet but the hotel and their staff have been wonderful during this awful period and I’m sure we will have a wonderful time there soon
