MACDONALD THE BERYSTEDE HOTEL & SPA 4*

With a number of excellent golf courses in the local area, it is also an excellent base for a golfing tour. The 126 bedrooms are all newly decorated, and furnished in a high quality contemporary fashion, and come complete with air-conditioning, complimentary wireless internet access and a mini-bar.

The hotel dates back to 1870, but the recently completed work has given the old family home a refreshing modern feel, whilst retaining the original charm.

Guests at the Berystede can take advantage of the 18-metre heated indoor swimming pool and the well-equipped Technogym. Meanwhile, the 6 purpose-built treatment rooms in the spa are home to a rock sauna, infra-red sauna, salt mist therapy, a cold room, steam room, sensation shower and massage shower. The relaxation room and refreshment area provide the perfect opportunity to unwind.
