Guest reviews of the Durham spa
Bannatyne Health Club and Spa Durham has a rating of 4.1 out of five stars on Tripadvisor. One visitor wrote: "Lovely spa day today. Great facilities. Excellent treatments. All staff helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend and look forward to my next visit." Another praised: "As soon as we stepped through the door we were made to feel welcome from start to finish. The treatments themselves were fantastic and definitely up there with the best we've had."
A third reviewer shared: "We had a lovely time at the spa. From the moment we walked in the team were amazing, helpful and friendly. Myself and my husband had a Swedish back, neck and shoulder massage along with scalp and a body scrub." They added: "If I had to be picky, I would say the waiting area could have been somewhere else, like the relaxation room, instead of the bit before the café, otherwise amazing."
Another customer noted: "It was unexpected having to pay for robe a towels but just take own next time." The Wowcher listing notes that spa bag hire is available from £10 per person and includes a robe, towel and flip-flops, so guests who do not wish to pay the extra fee should bring their own. One five-star reviewer wrote: "I joined the health club and spa at Durham a few months ago. The facilities are great and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. I often visit the café after my workout as it has a great atmosphere, lovely food and excellent service."
