Fairmont Windsor Park Hotel

There are 251 rooms and suites across the main building and garden wings, all finished in a modern, understated style with quality touches like marble bathrooms, smart TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi. Entry-level Deluxe rooms are comfortably sized for a golf weekend, while Executive Suites add a separate sitting area that's ideal if you want space to spread out, especially for longer stays. If you like an extra layer of service, Fairmont Gold rooms include lounge access with breakfast and evening bites, plus a quieter spot to plan tee times.

If you're travelling with clubs, it's worth asking about garden-facing or ground-floor options, which make it easier to get in and out without trekking through the lobby each time.

Food and drink is centred around two venues. 1215 is the smarter option for dinner, serving modern British cooking with seasonal ingredients and local suppliers, while MOREISH covers relaxed, all-day dining from breakfast through to evening. The 1215 bar is a handy in-between for a pre-dinner drink or a final one after the round. Room service is available 24 hours if you'd rather keep things simple.

For downtime, there's an indoor pool, gym and a full spa set up for proper recovery after 18 or 36 holes. The grounds are genuinely worth a wander with a coffee before you head out, with walking trails and plenty of quiet corners if you need to clear your head before the next round.
