INDULGE IN LUXURY
Kate O’Connell takes some time out to
relax and unwind at The Belfry Hotel
& Resort...
With all the madness this past year, we
are no doubt all guilty of having not been
terribly kind to ourselves. Lockdown
has a funny way of magnifying all of
our emotions, to a point where feelings
of stress, anxiety and sadness can be
incredibly overwhelming.
So perhaps it is now more than ever
where we need to give ourselves a little
‘me time’. Me and my fiancé were lucky
enough to take a quick trip up the M5
to The Belfry Hotel and Resort for some
much needed pampering!
We checked into our gorgeous Brabazon
Lodge, which was complete with its own
separate living area and a divine bathtub
(which I made sure to make the most of!).
Once refreshed and glammed up, we
headed to the bar for a quick drink before
our dinner reservations. Exuding class
and style, we couldn’t miss the Brabazon
Bar! The Belfry have made sure that
safety is a priority given the times, and
so it was table service only (which I don’t
know about you, but I could easily get
used to!). After a nice glass of fizz for me
and a tall frosty beer for my partner, we
headed off to dinner at The Ryder Grill.
To start, I opted for a for the antipasti
selection. I am a sucker for cured meats,
and so this was an easy choice, and I
wasn’t disappointed. With a lovely full
bodied glass of cabernet sauvignon, I
was in heaven. I decided to continue my
carnivorous streak and opted for the 7oz
Fillet Steak. Accompanied by a roquette
salad and fries, it was everything and
more!
We topped off our stay with a trip to the
Spa. I won’t lie, I was a little nervous as to
how The Belfry would be able to prioritise
safety within the spa facilities, but it was
clear we were in good hands as soon
as we checked in. Our temperatures
were taken, and numbers have been
heavily reduced in areas such as the
pool and saunas. Extra precautions
were taken at every turn, leaving me to
relax and thoroughly enjoy my bespoke
facial knowing we were in the best care
possible.
There has never been a better, or more
important time to look after ourselves.
While self-care comes in many forms
for everyone, if luxurious bedrooms,
indulgent food and soothing massages
are your thing, then do not hesitate and
book your stay today.
The Belfry Hotel’s Spa and Leisure Club
will reopen from 12th April.
