Hotel Review
Stoke By Nayland Hotel, Golf & Spa, Levenheath, Suffolk
WHAT WE LOVE...
It's no coincidence that this hotel is surrounded by apple orchards: it was founded twenty years ago by the Copella apple juice dynasty and is still run by the second generation of the family. Stoke by Nayland is a resort hotel, centred on two championship golf courses and situated in a gorgeous rural location. The hotel buildings really let the countryside in, with large terraces and floor-to-ceiling windows. Guest rooms are very spacious and comfy, with a slightly retro feel, and the public spaces have been updated with style. Besides the golf, facilities include a pool, spa, gym, squash courts and more.
THE DETAILS
Location
The rural setting, surrounded by woodland and the golf courses, is perfect.
The hotel sits on the edge of Dedham Vale AONB and near the charming village of Stoke-by-Nayland, with its half-timbered houses, traditional pubs and ancient church.
By car: 25 minutes from Colchester, 30 minutes from Ipswich. Free parking is available directly in front of the hotel.
By train: Bures station and Colchester station are both a 15-20-minute drive away and serviced by trains from London, Norwich (1 hour) and Cambridge (2 hours).
Style & Character
Obviously golfers will love it, but it's also a lovely rural base for anyone wanting to explore this part of Suffolk, in particular Constable Country and Dedham Vale. The hotel is a deliberately eco-friendly place to stay, with a biomass boiler, solar panels and other gadgetry, making it entirely energy-self-sufficient.
Service & Facilities
The weekly 'Fleece Jazz' evenings have been going for 25 years and showcase some of the best British jazz artists.
