I was treated by my family to a pamper at Clarice House Ipswich. The lounge area in the beauty area was dirty, cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling and around the curtains. I was having a pedicure so pointed this out to the beauty girl to which she replied, "oh no one usually looks up at that!" The food... More

Was given a Spa /Massage day voucher as a birthday present and chose to utilise it a Clarice House this week. Looking at previous reviews it seems you either have a very good day or very bad day due to customer service issues. Not sure if going on a quieter Monday had any bearing but pleased to report that our... More

This was then just off the reception, lovely room, but no relaxing music and could hear the workmen outside and the reception staff... More

Surely all the people who have complained must have been to a different place! We have just returned from a de-stress day and it was wonderful. Everyone was very friendly and we had a lovely welcome meeting with Dallas who also showed us around, at no time were we pressured into booking extra treatments or products etc. After spending the...

I went within a group booking of 14 ladies on a weekday. Unfortunately because it was a group booking we were not supplied with robes or slippers ( and paid ALOT more for the day) so please be aware of this and try to book 2for1s for a better price. Although the checking in process wasn't very speedy and it... More

We heard the girls talking that alot of staff had phoned... More

We had an hour long full body massage and an hour long facial in the morning then an express pedicure in the afternoon just before leaving allowing us all afternoon to relax by the pool. Lunch was fantastic the choice of... More
