Anyone looking for an enjoyable spring break might find all that they are looking for at Headlam Hall Hotel & Rural Retreat. This is a season when nature emerges from its winter hibernation - daffodils popping up everywhere, milder temperatures and that wonderful sound of birdsong returning to the air. The truly tranquil setting of Headlam is the perfect place to experience this and guests can explore the walled gardens and surrounding countryside to fully appreciate this wonderful season.
It is also a great time for golfers to get their game up and running again if they have been absent from the course over winter months. The 9 hole course at Headlam is an absolute gem with greens as good as you will find on any course in the area. The resident PGA Professional is also on hand should some tuition be required. If golf is not your thing then maybe relaxing in the fabulous spa might be. You can book yourself a spa treatment such as a Five Elements Aroma Massage or a Headlam Bespoke Facial which is tailored to suit your skin type. The spa wet area offers a 15m pool, sauna, steam room and an outdoor hydrotherapy pool with views over the countryside. Whether you have been golfing or chilling in the spa the brasserie café is perfectly placed for you to grab a great coffee or savor the delicious selection of food on offer.
There is plenty to do and explore in the local area this spring as well. The stunning Raby Castle is just a few miles away and hosts events such as an Easter Food & Craft Market and a Hot Cross Bun Masterclass! We also have Bowes Museum in our local market town of Barnard Castle and the Auckland Project at Bishop Auckland which is a truly impressive and newly improved attraction. For an experience that is a little bit different the spring season is an ideal time to visit the Grassholme Observatory in Teesdale to partake in some star gazing.
Spring also has an impact on the menus at Headlam Hall as local and seasonal ingredients are at the heart of the food offering. Start your dining experience with a drink in the charming Library Bar before heading through to the stylish Orangery to eat. After dinner you can retire to the Hall Lounge for your favorite night cap before retiring to your luxurious bedroom for a restful night’s sleep. Wake up to the sound of spring morning birdsong.
Headlam Hall offers a Spring Revival short break offer throughout March, April and May which includes evening meals, breakfast, spa use and a cream tea on one afternoon. There is also a special Easter Weekend package when you will find Champagne and home-made chocolates waiting in your room on arrival.
