The Belfry, England

We recently visited the Belfy for a spa break 'the works' package, booked via spabreaks.com. On arrival we were told we couldn't use the spa facilities as they were £50 each extra but could use the pool and sauna/steam room. As this was advertised as a spa break we were not impressed. Also there were no robes availalbe and no sun loungers around the pool.

The three course dinner included in the price turned out to be a canteen style help your self affair, with only one vegetarian option. Staff were un interested and at times rude. I would not go back or recommend it to anyone, which is shame as the setting is lovely. We also had treatments booked in the beauty salon, and the staff there were very nice. The rooms were also clean, but one of our party had a broken bed, so didn't get any sleep.

Staff took the booking took the credit card details, but neglected to tell us you cannot use golf trolleys pull or electric, but you can rent a carry bag for £5.00 60 bags later and they are £300.00 better off, just another money making racket, £12.00 for two teas and 2 bacon sandwiches, the hotel seems to be the centre of attention and the golf is resting on it's former glory, yes the Brabazon has all the splendor but the Derby and PGA are a poor standard, There are lots of better courses out there worth spending your money at but not here

I have played all the courses and at different times of the year but never again

Take heed,

The Brabazon course is fantastic. The Belfry lives up to its Ryder Cup status and more.

PLAY THIS COURSE !
