The recent refurbishment to the Grade-II listed country estate included extensive renovations and upgrades to its dining areas, bars and bedrooms. The Great Hall has also been restored to its former glory, while a new mezzanine bar has been created.

Rich in heritage, the estate is set across 300 acres of beautiful parkland and features a beautiful spa and fitness suite. With six stunning spaces to dine and drink in and 63 bedrooms, ranging from Luxury Suites to Classic Rooms, the hotel exudes sophistication and quality, promising guests an unforgettable experience.

The nomination comes just weeks after the grand reopening of the newly-refurbished golf clubhouse and restaurant - The Keepers - overlooking the hotel’s stunning 27-hole Championship golf course.

The hotel’s owner, Walwick Estate Group's commitment to delivering the finest experiences is evident throughout Matfen Hall. Their substantial investment programme has touched every aspect of the hotel, from leisure and golf facilities, to the spa and wellness area.

Matfen Hall is amongst a shortlist of eight properties across the UK and Ireland up for the award in the Boutique Hotel of the year category.
