The Belfry, iconic home to great golfing has been purchased and has just undergone a £26million transformation. The Belfry is in the West Midlands near Birmingham but for one night was brought to London's South Bank on a VIP Routemaster bus and set up it's own mini resort by the banks of the river.
But this was just to highlight the new premier resort and mecca to golfers and host to the Ryder Cup four times. There are luxurious guest rooms and new bars and grill restaurants which Chef Director Glen Watson was more than happy to tell me all about! There are also spa facilities and exerercise and relaxation facililties for everyone.
There were several members of The Belfry attending to answer any questions and to tell us how proud and excited they are about the new transformation including chef Director Glen Watson to tell us all about his new facilities and menus including 28 day dry aged steaks from local sources.
Several glasses of champagne and a head and neck massage and I was fully sold on the experience! If Mr R had come he could have hit a 'hole in one' on the Brabazon course with their simulator.
All this was to wet the appetite and create a desire to visit the property and see the real thing! Now where did Mr R put his golf clubs??
The Belfry is one of the De Vere Group's properties
Thanks to The Belfry for the invitation - I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions are, as always, my own.
Oh, what a place! I'm not surprised the Mr was sad!
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice way to spend some time on the South Bank on a lovely evening
Deleteahhh, glad you enjoyed and sorry your other half couldn't make it. I had an invite too and was debating where to go but I'm not a golfer. Sounds fab whether or not you are
ReplyDeleteI'm not the golfer but I do love a spa and luxury hotel, hope to visit this year!
DeleteI would love to have been at this esp with the neck massage.
ReplyDeleteI don't know which was nicer - the massage or the chap doing it!!
DeleteHahahaha, love it :)
DeleteJanie x
It was a bit bizarre!
DeleteI'm not a golfer either but I'd like to stay at this hotel - it's next door to where my mum lives so I have a handy babysitter!
ReplyDeleteI don't golf but I love staying in hotels, this one would be lovely to stay at.
DeleteIt sounds interesting. I'd like a review trip to see if the actual experience matches their marketing event.
ReplyDeleteI did suggest a blogger trip would be nice - perhaps if we all request one!!
DeleteLooks like a GREAT place Heidi and such a shame that Mr R couldn't make it!
ReplyDeleteKaren I think Mr R should get his priorities straight - work vs drinking champagne and canapes - no contest!
DeleteMy OH would have loved this, he's a big golfing fan
ReplyDeleteWould make a nice present for a golfer and maybe he would take you with him!
DeleteI've never played golf it was always kind of boring sport for me ;) but the place itself looks super!
ReplyDeleteAgree on the golf but love all the rest that is on offer!
DeleteOh wow! What a great venue!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly looks posh!
ReplyDeleteWow sounds like a nice place , pity Mr R missed it.
ReplyDeleteThere will be other opportunities for Mr R I am sure!!
DeleteIt was a nice evening too.
