Such a lovely friendly venue. Amy made me feel comfortable and at ease. Talked me through all my options. Offered advice and my cut and blow dry was perfect. Could not stop looking at myself in shop windows. Lol.

We had a little spa day and massage with afternoon tea on 12th May.
Hot tub was lovely had a extreme amount of chlorine in and found 3 whole tabs on my chair which I took out till we was done as it was already burning my eyes. It would be perfect if it had a steam room to get the real spa feel.
Massage was amazing my husband I couldn't fault Claire she was professional and extremely good best massage I have had it years.
Afternoon tea was really yummy and quiche was very good. Over all really nice day just glad we paid the groupin price.

Birthday treat

I booked the hot tub; a facial and afternoon tea for my boyfriend’s birthday. I didn’t know what to expect since I’ve only ever done something like that abroad. Kelly gave really good advice.
I ordered some Prosecco, which was ready for us, by the hot tub.
Then we had the facial. It was much more than I expected and we could have it together in the same room.
Tea was lovely. It was obvious that it was home made. Delicious quiche and beautiful bread and some more Prosecco.
We both felt so relaxed after everything. It’s s lovely spa; friendly staff and we are more than happy to recommend it to our family and friends.

OK for birthday present

Victoria
4th May 2023

It was my birthday present, premium package treatment...I guess that was not enough for Mettyears staff to create an excting atmosphere for me. In short: service level is very low, pool needs a thorough clean, my hair appointment from the 250£ package was just forgotten. Cafe was not working on the day (and i stayed there from 10.20 to 3.30) and at the end I was completely forgotten by everybody and silently just walked away. On a different note the beautician Becci was as helpful and professional as you can be when you are overbooked. Apart from her amazing magical hands I wouldn't like to come back or recommend this place.

Response from Mettyear's

Hello Victoria thank you for your review, at the time of your booking we had sent you a message to inform you of the hair appointment needed organising as your other treatments had taken priority that day. Unfortunately we was not informed that this was for your birthday and upon walking in the lady on reception was already on the phone with another client. She did acknowledge you arriving and said she wont be a moment.
Our hydrotherapy spa area is always kept to a satisfactory sterile standard for every customer, if there was any particular areas of concern from yourself we would have been more than happy to rectify, the water itself is tested twice a day to maintain correct parameters.
Our cafe is only available for afternoon tea which is pre-booked, this was offered at the original time of booking and also stated on our webpage.
This feedback has come as a complete shock to us as we always have rave reviews from our packages. I can only apologies that you feel this way from your experience.

Brilliant

Had my first visit here and was very pleased with my cut done by Myles. He gave great advice, was friendly and made me feel relaxed. Only negative experience was when another staff member came along during my cut to quiz my hairdresser about a booking he had made for about 5 minutes, which distracted him and broke the ambience. I thought this conversation could have been had at the end of my booking rather than during. Otherwise very happy and would use again.

We visited Mettyears as a (fairly chaotic) group of 14 on a hen do for the afternoon. They were so lovely and kind - and dealt with the chaos brilliantly. Everyone had an aromatherapy massage, which they loved, followed by Prosecco in the amazing hydrotherapy pool. We then had afternoon tea, which was delicious and also catered really well to the various dietary requirements. We had a very happy bride at the end of the afternoon so thank you Jamie and team!

Me and my husband attended today via the Groupon voucher. We were not disappointed, what an amazing place, we both feel so refreshed and relaxed. We started with the hydrotherapy pool which was amazing and a great way to unwind, I had a facial and my husband a deep tissue massage, we were beaming ear to ear afterwards. The afternoon tea was the icing on the cake, absolutely delicious. Cant wait to come back again. Thank you to all at Mettyear's spa

Jamie has been managing my hair for several years, but todays visit was the most challenging - how to colour and style new growth hair after most of it had fallen out. He managed to colour it my creamy blond without using harsh bleach and styled it for future growth. After feeling very unfeminine for several months, he made me feel a million dollars!
