STAPLEFORD PARK 5*

The superb landscape is characterised by the beautiful woodland, streams and ponds, all of which contribute to a truly incredible backdrop for both the golf course and the house itself.

Designed by Donald Steel, who has been involved with countless links golf projects, there is little surprise that there is a Scottish accent to Stapleford, with influences taken from the seaside; the bunkers are revetted, and there are few holes that run in the same direction, while it is also possible to chase the ball onto the green from the front, making it very playable for golfers of all abilities.

Among those to endorse Stapleford Park's credentials is Sam Torrance, Ryder Cup-winning player and captain, who believes the course to be one of England's best hidden gems. Set in the spectacular 500 acre estate, there can be few more luxurious choices for a fabulous golf break or corporate golf day.

Stapleford Park has recently recruited leading trick shot exponent Jeremy Dale to its team - his amazing exhibition can make a corporate day very special.

Stapleford Park is one of the country's most exquisite stately homes, with a rich array of architecture, horticulture and history. The house and its gardens have a pedigree dating back to the 14th century, and the 500 acre estate is one England's most beautiful settings.

The highlight of the hotel is the range of guest rooms - every one is individually designed and furnished, with famous names like Coca Cola, Mulberry, Pirelli, Sanderson and Wedgwood among those to have lent their creative influence.

Visitors can choose the superb suite which they feel reflects their own personality best, making a visit to Stapleford Park a truly personal experience. If you can drag yourself out of the bedroom, the estate has some of the best leisure, dining and activity facilities around, in addition to Donald Steel's outstanding golf course.

The Spa at Stapleford Park is a high-end facility, specialising in cutting edge health and beauty therapy. Featured treatments are Indian head massage, aromatherapy, reiki, and reflexology for men and women, all complemented by the outstanding range of Clarins products. The leisure centre also has a state-of-the-art gym, a 22-metre swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi, steam room and an outdoor sunbathing terrace. The colossal estate allows guests to try their hands at tennis, croquet, giant chess, riding, falconry, shooting, archery, off-road driving, mountain-biking and fishing.

Acclaimed chef Wayne Vickerage has created a sublime menu in the award-winning fine dining room, the Grinling Gibbons Restaurant.
