Chose from a host of activities at The Belfry Hotel & Resort

There are plenty of outdoor spaces to explore, including three world-famous golf courses, a terrace, majestic fairways and water features that look fabulous in photographs. Home to 319 bedrooms and suites, the hotel oozes style and elegance by combining luxury and grandeur with a contemporary design while also retaining its charm and heritage.

Gather together in the Woodland Lodges with a communal living area, or for the ultimate experience, book your stay in the Brabazon Lodge, which includes self-catering living facilities complete with a hot tub and barbecue area. During your stay, relax and enjoy a day of pampering with your bridal party at the luxury spa, followed by afternoon tea and a glass of bubbly at the Brabazon Bar.

In the evening, get together and enjoy pre-dinner drinks or a cocktail masterclass in the Brabazon Bar, followed by a meal in the Ryder Grill Restaurant. Then it’s time to dust off those dancing shoes for a night at the on-site nightclub, Bel Air.
