There is lots to do and see in the area, the hotel is walking distance from the superb 18 hole Renishaw Park Golf Club and the historic Renishaw Hall and Gardens, Gullivers Valley children’s theme park is a five minute drive away, some of our favourites are included below, but please ask us for more ideas.
Renishaw is rightly celebrated for its fabulous Italianate gardens, with monthly highlights including Magnolias, Bluebell Wood and Delphiniums amongst many, many more, so why not visit and take a look for yourself. The gardens are open Wednesday to Sunday and on Bank Holiday Mondays, 10.30am to 4.30pm during the season.
Visit website>A round of golf at Renishaw Park is definitely a game of two halves. The first nine is set in rolling parkland with six par 4s and three par 3s requiring good accuracy. The second nine is flat and more open with four par 5s, three par 4s and two par 3s. The golf course has been well known for a number of years for the quality of its greens, which are fast and true, some of the best in the area.
