Hellidon Lakes Golf & Spa Hotel

Set in rolling countryside near Daventry, Hellidon Lakes offers a calm, easy-going golf break with plenty to do off the course too. The 18-hole championship course, designed by David Snell, is laid out around two lakes with tree-lined fairways, gentle elevation changes and a mix of forgiving and more demanding holes; accuracy is rewarded, especially when the wind picks up, and the course suits a wide range of handicaps. Off the course, the hotel is comfortable rather than flashy, with modern, practical rooms, relaxed dining and a bar for post-round drinks. The on-site spa, gym and pool make it a solid choice for mixed golf-and-leisure trips or groups that include non-golfers.
