We'd Rather Be Playing: Oulton Hall
The hotel
Just a short drive from the lively city of Leeds, Oulton Hall is a stylish spot for a relaxing retreat.
Enjoy a glass of fizz out on the terrace of the Champagne Bar, and spend your evenings wining and dining in the Calverley Grill, which serves a variety of tasty and beautifully presented dishes that will please even the harshest food critic.
The timelessly chic bedrooms come with large and comfortable beds, but make sure you drag yourself out of your duvet in time to sample everything on the expansive breakfast buffet.
The courses
The 18-hole Park course will test any golfers skills with it’s strategically placed bunkers and sloping greens.
Meanwhile, the 9-hole Hall course provides more than enough entertainment to be played by itself, or to pack your day with as much golf as possible, it can also be added on to the Park.
With a floodlit driving range, luxurious clubhouse and fitting centre, you have your own golfer’s paradise right by your front door.
The spa
From the moment you slip on your white robe, you’ll feel all your worries melt away.
The treatments use the most indulgent and beautifully smelling ESPA products, and it’s a real challenge not to drift off as you go for a post-pampering rest on one of the soft beds in the relaxation room.
The facilities include a steam room, sauna, pool and jacuzzi, while the gym is packed more than enough machines and weights to thoroughly work off your towering afternoon tea. For lighter and healthier dining options, the spa lunch menu includes delights such as vegetarian bento boxes.
