The Hellidon Lakes Golf and Spa can be found in the ancient village of Hellidon, from which the hotel and eight lakes in the two-hundred-and-twenty acre grounds take their name.

The hotel quite simply offers something for everyone, from over a hundred bedrooms, conference rooms, and fitness and wellbeing facilities, to a twenty-seven hole championship golf-course, and dining at Lakes Brasserie.

With splendid views of the lush grounds, the brasserie invariably offers a memorable dining experience. A salad of smoked trout, white beans, chives and horseradish crème fraîche sets the stage for mains of pork fillet, confit belly and crackling with apple compote, parsnip mash, and cider jus, or a fine tart of red onion, thyme and soft-cheese served with roasted new potatoes and buttered broccoli.

For those who crave after all things sweet, there is a brilliant warm chocolate cake with winterberries and baked vanilla custard. Over fifty wines are served in the Lounge Bar alongside champagnes and cocktails.
