Glass House Retreat - Upminster

A beautiful overnight stay! We had a double each, the beds were super comfy with a|10/10 nights sleep for two very tired parents!||The schedule on offer was great with lots of activities and things to try out. If you wanted to opt out of those and just relax with a swim, steam & sauna those are really great too. ||Gutted didn’t get a chance to try the outdoor jacuzzi. I really recommend the spring/summer time for the outdoor pond swimming, it’s filtered water & so refreshing! ||The food on offer is all vegan, and absolutely delicious. We had the Christmas festive menu, the vegetables were full of flavour and delicious as was the nut roast. The pear dessert was our favourite, another 10/10 we could have eaten another! We preferred it to the chocolate mousse which was much more bitter if you like that with a heavy mint flavour. I also really enjoyed the breakfast smoothie banana and oats, it was delicious and filling.||The staff were very helpful & polite from arrival to departure, everyone was very welcoming and warm. I tried the skin scanner which was very interesting to see what my skin needed, the lady who did this was very helpful but also understanding. I would recommend to a friend and we will definitely be back again!

We booked a weekday Revive Spa Day for Two in January 2025 and loved the tranquility—it was quiet. The facilities were fantastic, with the outdoor cold plunge being our favourite. Brunch was exceptional, and the team went above and beyond to accommodate my allergy and dietary requirements. The therapists were incredible, and our massages left us feeling completely relaxed.

The reason for the 4-star rating? The changing rooms felt a bit tight for two, so having larger rooms or the option to book a separate changing space would be a welcome improvement. Overall, a great experience that we’d happily recommend!"

Me and my partner had the most amazing over night stay! From the moment we arrived, we were so impressed by how beautiful and well-kept everything was, it felt like such a treat to be there.||The staff were just fantastic, they genuinely couldn’t do enough for us, which made us feel so welcome and looked after. The massages we had were so relaxing - and we also loved the Pilates class!||We also tried some new things while we were there, including our very first sound bath - and cryotherapy - I’d 100% recommend giving it a go, we felt amazing after!!||And the food…wow! Neither of us are vegan and I can be a little fussy but every single meal was delicious!!||A huge thank you to the whole team for making our stay so special. We’re already looking forward to coming back! X

I have just experienced yet another truly wonderful stay at Glass House retreat. This time I took my sister in law with me. The retreat was beautifully festive and I loved the delicious Christmas menu. I am always So impressed by the food and how many options they have of vegan dishes to choose from. I recommend the pancakes for breakfast- so yummy. I treated myself to a wonderful full body massage and my therapist was fantastic and really tailor made the experience to help with the problems I was experiencing with tension in my neck and shoulders. I also opted for the skin scan and I got some very useful advise and product information. This is worth investing in as it really helps you identify where your skin needs support. || Thanks again to the Glasshouse Team for looking after us so well- wishing everyone a very happy Christmas.

I've just been for the 3rd time and was over the moon to find they've expanded their food and drink range to now offer non-vegan food, pastries, cakes and caffeine. I've loved it every time I've been but have always missed having a bit of a treat as part of my spa experience, so was over the moon to discover this is no longer the case. An incredible experience made even better!

This is my second time visiting the first time I visited just for the day and feel in love with all this place had to offer. I then noticed you could stay. So I decided for my Mums 60th this would make a great treat for us together. We each had a tension tamer massage which was just the right amount of time and pressure to relieve all the stress. I cannot recommend the Glass House Retreat enough and can’t wait to book again. The value for money when you break down all that is available for you to do is fantastic. The staff are so accommodating and they actually have robes that fit all shapes and sizes so for me this was the cherry on the top. I would love to next time take my partner as I think it’s a great location for couples too. Don’t think about it, book it, you won’t regret it!
