Sprowston Manor Hotel, Spa & Golf

Like to work out as well as chill out? Sprowston Manor has you covered. The hotel has its own leisure club with a heated indoor pool and a fully equipped gym – ideal if you want to balance your spa time with something a little more energetic.

The gym includes a mix of cardio machines, resistance equipment and free weights. There’s even fitness classes to take part in, making it easy to keep up with your routine while you’re away. 

If you’re keen to get out and explore, you’re in a great spot. The hotel sits right on the edge of the Norfolk Broads National Park, so you’ve got miles of flat, scenic walking routes to help you get your steps up. Wroxham and Salhouse Broad are close by if you fancy hiring a day boat or trying something more active like canoeing or paddleboarding. 

Please note: Aqua fit classes are held every Tuesday and Thursday mornings between 9:30am -11.30am

You’ll eat, drink and be merry at Sprowston Manor Hotel. The Club House Bar is your go‑to spot during the day for relaxed drinks, light bites and bar snacks — perfect after a round of golf. 

The Restaurant opens its doors for bountiful breakfasts and elegant dinners, serving dishes built around local Norfolk ingredients. This part of the world is known for its fresh produce, so expect seasonal flavours and hearty plates.

If you fancy exploring beyond the hotel, Norfolk is a brilliant place to eat and drink. The county is dotted with street‑food markets, cosy country pubs and seaside cafés. Local delicacies worth seeking out include Cromer crab, Brancaster mussels, marsh samphire and the famous Norfolk Black turkey.

There are two – one for adults, and one for children. The 13m indoor pool glistens beneath an attractive, timber-lined roof, while huge windows and plants give the poolside area a calming, conservatory feel. After you swim, you can curl up on a comfy day bed, or hit the sauna and steam room to bask in the heat.

You’ll be given one complimentary towel during your visit, whether you’re coming for a spa day or using the leisure club. Want that fluffy-robe moment? The hotel offers a robe package for £5 to £7 per person (depending on the package you’ve booked). This includes robe hire for the day, plus slippers and a bag to take home.

Yes, there are 94 elegant bedrooms to rest your head in. Contemporary in style and decor, these range from Lexx Standards and Standard Doubles, right the way up to four-poster Suites. All offer luxe touches like tea and coffee making facilities, plush bedding, a hairdryer, and fresh linen.

You’ll find Sprowston Manor in the Norfolk countryside, just four miles north of Norwich city centre. The hotel is tucked within 170 acres of well-kept parkland, ancient oaks and golfing greens, so it looks every inch the country‑club getaway!

Once you’re here, you’ve got the best of Norfolk on your doorstep. Norwich’s cobbled Lanes, cathedral quarter and newly revamped Norman castle are just a short hop away, while the Norfolk Broads National Park is practically around the corner. 

For overnight stays, check‑in begins at 3pm, and rooms need to be vacated by 10am. Most spa day packages run from 10am to 5pm, but timings can vary depending on the package you’ve booked. It’s always worth double‑checking your booking confirmation for the exact details.

Absolutely! While spa packages are just for guests aged 18 and over, the hotel itself is very family‑friendly. Little ones can splash about in the children’s pool, tuck into kids’ menus at mealtimes, and settle into family rooms with two double beds.

You’re also in a great spot for family adventures. One of the biggest draws nearby is BeWILDerwood, a huge outdoor woodland attraction filled with treehouses, zip wires and imaginative play areas. It’s designed to feel like stepping into a magical forest world, and it’s a massive hit with children who love climbing, exploring and running wild in nature.

While Sprowston Manor is a historic building, the hotel has made some thoughtful adjustments to make life a little easier. There are designated accessible parking bays close to the main entrance, and the hotel offers accessible bedrooms with wider doorways, adapted bathrooms and emergency pull cords. Please note though, that while the pool itself is accessible, both the fitness centre and spa entrance are not.

Yes, they are. Dogs and cats are welcome at Sprowston Manor Hotel, for £10 per pet, per night. The hotel may ask for a refundable deposit for any pet-related damage they cause, so you’ll need to tell them to be the goodest of boys and girls.

There sure is, so don’t forget to pack your clubs in the car. Sprowston Manor Hotel has an 18-hole, championship golf course that’s widely regarded as one of the best inland courses in the county. Why? Well, the sweeping fairways, challenging water features, incredible views and carefully curated greens might have something to do with it!

The course was designed by Ross McMurray, the same architect behind several championship‑level courses across the UK. It’s also one of the longest courses in Norfolk, stretching over 6,500 yards! Too long for you? There’s also a floodlit driving range, so you can practise your swing long after the sun goes down.
