From a picturesque golf course and calming spa to excellent conference facilities and smart bedrooms, the Telford Hotel and Golf Resort has what it takes to be an AA four star hotel. Located on the edge of Telford in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Ironbridge Gorge, the resort offers the perfect reason to leave the city and enjoy a few days of rest and relaxation.

Food is taken very seriously indeed, and a visit to Restaurant 1779 will prove that Telford's chefs have created a modern European menu that offers diners a great balance of simplicity and variety.

A meal there could begin with a bowl of French onion soup finished with port and Gouda cheese crouton or seared smoked salmon with pumpernickel bread, wasabi and balsamic dips before advancing to chicken stuffed with wild mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes rissole potatoes, fine beans and thyme jus or fettuccine carbonara with creamy smoked bacon, mushroom and garlic sauce.

The Club bar serves a range of drinks alongside tempting salads and light meals.
