Since starting pilates at Rosehill in September 2009 I ave had three great tutors - Sarah, Julia and now Sacchin. Pilates has helped me cope with my lower back problems and each tutor has been sympathetic to individual needs. Thank you all!
I attended an evening event here recently. The food was excellent and the venue was perfect and I would definately recommend them.
I love the place. Good food, fair prices, nice people and some really interesting activities - all in a relaxing environment.
This is a lovely venue, calm and relaxing. The staff are welcoming and helpful - I go for reflexology - wouldnt miss my session no matter what .
We are extremely lucky to have a centre such as The Letchworth Centre for Healthy Living on our doorstep. With a great history and passion from the owner, the centre provides a range of great classes, workshops and complimentary therapies, all which enable a healthier/happier mind and body. There is always a great variety on offer from the experts there. Set in lovely grounds and with the always enjoyable Rosehill Cafe for great vegetarian food - it has a good social feel to it too. As a practitioner and workshop teacher at the centre, I can recommend the friendliness, professionalism, services on offer and the wonderful treatments! Many many people are happier and healthier in their life for being a regular visitor to the centre.
An excellent venue for parties and similar functions (we had a 30th wedding anniversary party there). There are three large rooms to choose from or use together, including an outdoor decking area next to one, as well as plenty of outdoor space for kids to run around in and areas for food and drink if you choose to take your own, which we did (plates and cutlery can be provided and there is a corkage charge). Catering and/or bar can be provided if you prefer, as well as tea and coffee etc.. There is also plenty of parking space. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
The Rosehill Cafe at the Letchworth Centre is in a beautiful position and is a great place for a good cup of coffee and cake (or lunch) with friends or work colleagues. It is quiet and has a lovely calm atmosphere with attentive staff. I would thoroughly recommend it.
I've been to many classes at The Letchworth Centre for Healthy Living, since first hearing of them about 12 years ago. All have been well run and enjoyable, with knowledgeable practitioners. I also enjoy using the Rosehill Cafe - it's a lovely setting, with delicious food at reasonable prices. I quite often take some work with me and use their free WiFi.
As a complementary health therpist, I recommend The Letchworth Centre for Healthy Living as a reputable and supportive Centre from which to practice. It offers well equiped therapy rooms, in beautiful surroundings, plenty of free parking, supportive staff, promotion and healing environment which encompasses all aspects of integrative health care.
