Buxton Crescent Hotel
If you want a golf break that feels a bit different from the usual stay-and-play, Buxton Crescent is a very good place to start. You are arriving at one of Georgian England's most celebrated buildings, a sweeping stone crescent that once drew visitors from across the country to bathe in the town's famous mineral waters. The instinct to come here and feel restored has not changed much since.
Following a major restoration backed by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Buxton Crescent reopened in 2020 as a Champneys hotel and spa. The result is a stay that gives you proper heritage, standout wellness facilities and easy access to one of England's most enjoyable golf courses.
The combination of Cavendish's MacKenzie design, the Champneys spa and the Georgian setting is not something you can easily replicate elsewhere in England, and for groups or couples who want the golf to be the main event without it being the only event, this is a very strong option.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want something more than a standard stay-and-play. This is the trip for groups or couples who appreciate history, proper wellness and a golf course with genuine architectural pedigree.
Who is it best for?
Mid-handicappers who enjoy strategic, thinking-player courses will get the most from Cavendish, but golfers of all abilities will find plenty to enjoy both on the course and back at the hotel. It works particularly well for two or three-night breaks, and it is a strong option for mixed groups where not everyone is playing golf every day. For those who want to extend the trip, sister property Mottram Hall in Cheshire adds a second course and a second night without much extra planning.

Accommodation at Buxton Crescent Hotel
Buxton Crescent offers 81 bedrooms across several categories, perfectly reflecting the building's layered character. Snug, top-floor Attic Rooms suit solo travellers or short stays, while Classic Rooms provide a contemporary, comfortable base for a standard two-night break. For a truly memorable experience, step up to the Crescent or Crescent Superior Rooms; their impressive views over the famous curved Georgian facade make them the natural choice for those who value character and setting.
At the top end, the Crescent Suite is a spacious, elegant statement room that justifies a longer stay, while Junior Suites offer a sensible middle ground for special occasions. Throughout, original period features sit seamlessly alongside contemporary Champneys comfort. For groups, our Golf Travel Specialists can easily mix and match room types within the same booking to suit different budgets and preferences.
Food & Drink
The dining setup provides plenty of variety for a two- or three-night golf break. After your round, Darwin's Lounge and Bar is the obvious spot to regroup. With craft ales, cocktails, an open fire, and a light-bite menu, it makes the post-round debrief feel genuinely civilised.
For a more polished evening, Restaurant 1789 serves classic British cooking in a striking Art Deco setting, working perfectly for group dinners or a quiet night for two (featuring a handy early bird menu for Opera House goers). Meanwhile, The Spa Café handles the lighter end of the day, offering brunch, smoothies, and formal afternoon tea—a comfortable, practical base for non-golfers or a quick stop between treatments.
Leisure Facilities
The spa is a huge part of what makes a break here worth the journey, elevating a standard golf trip into something considerably more rounded. The centrepiece is the restored Victorian thermal pool, filled with heated Buxton Mineral Water and set beneath magnificent original architecture.
Beyond this, the complex features indoor and heated rooftop pools, plus a thermal suite covering a sauna world, steam room, and salt cave—a proper recovery ritual for tight legs after a hilly round at Cavendish. Extensive treatment options range from Hungarian mud packs to bespoke massages and signature facials. With a yoga studio on-site, and the handsome spa town of Buxton and the Peak District right on your doorstep, the trip offers plenty of life beyond the course and the spa.
