Zest

The Fairway Bar & Grill

There is! Some 19 metres in length and open daily from 6am until 9pm, the tranquil indoor pool looks so inviting. Take a dip, enjoy the bubbles of the whirlpool or just pull up a lounger and while away the hours with a good book. 

There is, and with 214 spacious bedrooms, overnight stays will always be a temptation. Elegantly designed for a superior night’s sleep, all room categories feature sumptuous bedding and en-suite bathrooms, while more luxurious Superior rooms have some nice little extras, such as fluffy slippers and bathrobes.

There are two golf courses at the Forest of Arden Hotel, and it’s actually one of the UK’s top golfing destinations, being renowned around the world as one of the European Tour’s leading venues!
