MacDONALD BOTLEY PARK HOTEL, GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB 4*

The 6,000 yard layout now presents a superb blend of difficulty and playability, and can be viewed in two distinct halves; the front nine is traditional parkland in style, spanning the undulating landscape, while the closing stretch is much tighter, with matures trees guarding the edge of the fairways.

The golfing complex features a 12-bay driving range and two practice putting greens which are the basis for excellent tuition and dedicated clinics by the fully qualified PGA professionals.

This Hampshire retreat is easily accessed via the M3 and M27, and is set in the heart of the beautiful parkland golf course near the Solent Coast. The hotel has been the subject of a £6.5 million investment scheme, which has seen all of the bedrooms, conference areas and dining rooms being totally overhauled.

The result is a fresh atmosphere and a good quality contemporary hotel, boasting 100 spacious and tastefully decorated standard bedrooms, and 30 exquisite superior units.

Luxury features include heated mirrors, flat-screen satellite televisions, air-conditioning and complimentary internet access. The superb new facility makes Botley Park one of the most luxurious destinations for a golf break in the South.

Botley Park's Vital Leisure Club includes a 15-metre swimming pool, steam room, sauna, squash and tennis courts, aerobics studio and a well-equipped gymnasium. The three purpose-built treatments rooms offer manicures, pedicures, facials, non-surgical facelifts, massages, bridal makeovers and aromatherapy, all backed up by the superb ESPA and Decleor product ranges.

The lavish Gallery Bar is an elegant spot to enjoy an aperitif or a night-cap.

The hotel's restaurant serves modern international cuisine, while the Swing and Divot Bar is a more relaxed option for drinks and home-cooked classics.
