The Belfry Hotel & Spa

Crush your goals at The Club, The Belfry’s cutting-edge wellness hub. Pack your snazziest leggings because this isn’t just a gym – it’s a full-blown temple to fitness, packed with Technogym’s latest equipment.

Work-out with plate-loaded strength machines and functional rigs, or hit the free weights zone that’s perfect for everything from battle ropes to barbell squats. Cardio fans can take their pick from treadmills, cross-trainers, rowers and the high-performance Skillbike.

With four light-filled studios, The Club offers a packed timetable of classes, from yoga and spin to body pump and aqua aerobics. Forgot to book? No stress. Just drop into a Les Mills virtual session on the big screen and get moving.

Prefer fresh air with your fitness? The woodland fitness trail is dotted with outdoor equipment and makes a scenic spot for a brisk walk or alfresco workout. And if you’re feeling competitive, the multi-purpose sports hall is ready for tennis, netball, badminton – or whatever gets your heart racing. 

Relax, unwind, then it’s time to wine and dine, and a night at the hotel’s award-winning Brabazon Bar is a sophisticated treat. Prop up the oval, art deco bar, sip on a cocktail and soak up these oh-so glamorous surroundings, before heading to one of the hotel’s many restaurants. But which one will you choose to round off your perfectly pampered day?

The Ryder Grill

With a light and airy feel, The Belfry’s signature restaurant feels worlds apart from stuffy golfing haunts. Recently named the best hotel eatery in England at the World Culinary Awards, you know you’re in for a treat here. Try sizzling meats and fish fresh from the signature Robata grill or a tempting, twice-baked cheese soufflé. 

Rocca’s 

Don’t fancy being fancy? Rocca’s is The Belfry’s family-friendly Italian restaurant that provides a more relaxed atmosphere along with traditional favourites such as spaghetti bolognese, bruschetta and, of course, pizza.

Sam’s Club House 

Burgers more your bag? The Belfry’s own sports-bar is the place to get your fix. Refuel and catch up over filling burgers, club sandwiches or a sharing platter. Then watch all the sporting action unfold on the big screen over a craft beer or cocktail.

It certainly does – and now there’s even more to dive into. The Belfry’s sparkling new Club facilities include a large heated indoor pool with swim lanes, a family-friendly flume, and both indoor and outdoor bubble pools for a blissful soak. 

If you’re visiting on a spa package, you’ll also have access to the Spa Leisure Area, an adults-only sanctuary with a peaceful heated pool, poolside whirlpools, a sauna and a steam room, all set within a tranquil space complete with plush loungers. 

The perfect end to a pampering spa break? Drifting off in a luxurious hotel room – and The Belfry now offers even more ways to do just that. Following its £80 million transformation, the resort has added 149 brand-new bedrooms in the stylish Brabazon House wing, bringing the total to 468 rooms and suites across the estate.

Choose from woodland family rooms, superior signature suites, or go all out with a stay in the Manor House. Want something truly special? Try the Brabazon Lodge, a private retreat for up to eight guests, or the resort’s first-ever two-bedroom suite with a balcony.

That depends on your package. There are two options, which we’ve outlined below – but whichever one you choose, you’re in for a treat! Just pick the one that suits you best, and get ready to dive in…

Spa packages

Book a spa package and you’ll unlock the doors to The Belfry’s serene Spa Leisure Area – a blissfully adults-only haven of serenity. There’s a tranquil pool with poolside whirlpools, a sauna and steam room, a dreamy relaxation lounge and treatment rooms for that all-important massage. 

You’ll also get to experience The Belfry’s legendary Fire & Ice Experience if your package includes it. This 90-minute thermal adventure takes you through steam rooms, aroma caves, hydrotherapy pools and feature showers. There's even a luxury ice room!

Bed & Breakfast packages

Opting for a Bed & Breakfast or golf package? Or bringing the family with you? You won’t be able to access the Spa Leisure Area. But you’re free to savour The Belfry’s sparkling new Club facilities. These are anything but second best, thanks to a large family pool (complete with kids’ slide), swim lanes, indoor and outdoor bubble pools and a sauna with fabulous views of the grounds. 

If you love to work-out, you’ll be in your element. The gym in the Club is five times bigger than before, packed with over 50 Technogym machines, four airy studios for spin and reformer Pilates and a sports hall ready for tennis, netball – or whatever gets your heart pumping!

You can check in to The Belfry from 3pm, while checkout time is 11am for all residential guests. You’re welcome to drop off your luggage before your room is ready at the Guest Service Desk. Both early check-in and late check-out can be purchased from reception for an additional fee.

Yes you can. Parking is free at The Belfry Hotel and you don’t need to make a reservation. There’s also Pod Point electric car charging available.

Absolutely! The Belfry rolls out the red carpet for families, with family rooms, adjoining rooms and double doubles to suit your crew. Kids will love tucking into a Junior Belfry Burger at Sam’s Club House, and during school holidays, the pick-and-mix sweet cart at reception is a guaranteed hit.

The resort is close to popular attractions like Cadbury World, Drayton Manor and Twycross Zoo, but with so much to do on-site, you may not need to venture far. The newly opened Club features a family-friendly pool with swim lanes, indoor and outdoor bubble pools, and a kids’ flume slide. 

Elsewhere, little ones can explore the woodland playground with zip wires and treehouses, curl up with a book in the children’s library by the Ryder Grill, or get creative at the colouring station in the lobby. Golf-mad kids are well catered for too, with a free bucket of balls at the driving range when accompanied by a paying adult, plus footgolf and the Ryder Legends Mini Golf course – a 12-hole adventure inspired by iconic Ryder Cup moments.

And if you usually struggle to get them all out on a walk, The Belfry’s treasure hunt trail is a game-changer. Pick up a map from reception, hunt for hidden letters, and reveal a secret message to claim a prize.

Just note: children aren’t permitted in the adults-only Spa Leisure Area, including the Fire & Ice Experience. Most family activities are available during school holidays, so it’s worth checking ahead to avoid any disappointed faces. 

Great news for the furry members of the family! Dogs are allowed in The Belfry’s designated pet-friendly rooms, and you can bring up to two dogs per booking. Your pooch is welcome in Sam’s Bar & Kitchen, your bedroom and all outdoor areas – just keep them on a lead while exploring the resort. 

Dogs can’t set a paw in Brabazon Bar or Ryder Grill. But if breakfast is included in your package, you’re welcome to enjoy a plated Full English in Sam’s instead.

There’s a small nightly charge of £25 for one dog or £40 for two, and guide and assistance dogs stay free of charge. Plus, for every dog that checks in, The Belfry donates £1 to Birmingham Dogs Home – so your stay helps support pups in need. 

It has three, and they are the stuff of legends. A round on The Belfry’s Brabazon course is like walking in the footsteps of sporting history - it’s hosted the Ryder Cup four times, more than any other venue in the world. 

Bursting with personality, and with incredible views from the 18th, you could live out all your Seve Ballesteros fantasies at the 10th hole, or try out one of the other two courses on offer. The PGA National is a Championship course in its own right, while the Derby offers a more relaxed round.

You’ll also find state-of-the-art golfing facilities to help you raise your game, like the Toptracer driving range. Here you can view the flight path of your golf ball to help refine your swing. 

But while The Belfry and the game of kings go together like a hand in a golf glove, it doesn’t mean non-golfers will feel out of place here. The hotel shows its reverence to the sport through the lightest of design touches - tasteful photographs and memorabilia, or the reception’s chandelier that’s made from hundreds of glass golf clubs - to strike the perfect balance between tributes and taste.
