Ufford Park Resort

Hotel review

Suffolk is one of the most historic counties in the UK - home to beautiful countryside, fascinating archaeology and boutique high streets, it is fast becoming a favourite with British staycationers. Ufford - a charming village within Suffolk which lies close to the renowned coastal cliffs - is an idyllic example of the best of Suffolk's regional and country charm; home to the less than 1,000 inhabitants, it is the perfect setting for this contemporary spa, hotel and golf resort.

The hotel is situated within spectacular, sprawling parkland, green as far as the eye can see. Within the park is the 18-hole golf course, a relaxing, quiet place to spend an afternoon and one of the hotel's major draws. In fact, Ufford Park is home to the only two-tier driving range in all of Suffolk, with a sculpted outfield to make for more realistic challenges. For beginners, golf lessons are available with DoctorGolf - the perfect way to improve your technique and get in lots of practice.

The hotel is not just for golf lovers, though. The wide range of rooms on offer make it a versatile and attractive stay for lots of visitors, from families to couples. All rooms enjoy complimentary access to the hotel gym, deck-level swimming pool and poolside steam room, sauna and spa bath, making it a great option for a girls' weekend away or romantic break. Meanwhile, family rooms are adapted for parents travelling with children, offering separate beds and a private balcony the kids will love.

With a great seasonal menu at the hotel's Park Restaurant, day trips or weekend stays for a special occasion also work perfectly here. The fantastic grounds make a great backdrop for weddings, and the hotel offers a range of packages to suit all occasions, with the option of a wedding planner included. Other events are also welcome, from birthday parties to business meetings, and the flexibility of the staff and events team is a real asset to the hotel. With the best of Suffolk's history, culture and natural beauty on its doorstep, Ufford Park offers something for everyone.
