MARRIOTT BREADSALL PRIORY HOTEL, GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB 5*

The Championship Priory course is the premier layout at the resort, and since its inception in 1977, has emerged as one of the best in the local area. The Priory skirts the stunning hotel, and requires accurate play to negotiate the tree-lined fairways. Though not particularly long, the Priory is demanding, and attracts visitors back again and again with its charm and spectacular views.

Breadsall Priory's second course is the Moorland, which differs in style to the Priory, offering golfers a great variety. Set amidst the lush Derbyshire countryside, the Moorland is more open, but is also fortunate to offer views to equal its neighbour.

Belton Woods is one of the few resorts in the East Midlands to have two 18-hole courses, making it a great choice for a golf break.

The magnificent stately residence that is now home to Marriott's Breadsall Priory hotel dates back to 1260, and the historic setting is one of the most spectacular destinations for a golf break in the Midlands.

The façade of the Grade II listed construction is in stark contrast to the contemporary facilities that await inside. The 112 guest rooms are designed and furnished to complement the traditional style of the house, but also feature all the modern amenities that are expected from a top quality hotel.

For special or romantic occasions, there are 12 rooms in the original Priory which retain the original architectural character, as well as the honeymoon suite. Breadsall Priory's magnificent setting, and the tremendous golf and leisure facilities make it an educated choice for a golfing getaway.

The Spa Experience at Breadsall Priory offers treatments including body wraps and scrubs, facials, manicures, pedicures, massages and waxing. Meanwhile, the leisure club and fitness centre has a range of cardiovascular training equipment and free weights, in addition to a swimming pool, sauna, steam room and spa pool.

The award-winning Priory Restaurant has an outstanding reputation for its cuisine and wine list.

The Long Weekend Restaurant is the ideal place for relaxed fine dining.

Thrill seekers can make the journey to Alton Towers for some white-knuckle action.

Meetings/Conferences

The entire business complex at Marriott Breadsall Priory was refurbished in 2007, and the resultant facilities make the resort an extremely attractive option for an East Midlands meeting or conference event. The nine separate meeting rooms can be formulated to match the specifications of each event, and benefit from high ceilings and natural light. Outstanding catering and the requisite technological aids play the support act to ensure a smooth running and successful business event.
