Needham is open daily for drinks and sandwiches, while Keepers is the golf clubhouse, where golfers and guests alike can enjoy a gastro-pub style meal. A sanctuary of tranquility, The Retreat invites you to indulge each one of your senses in a harmonious experience that transports you to a state of total wellbeing. Indulge in Treatments and Rituals tailored to your mind, body and spirit by our Natura Bissē and Germaine de Capuccini specialist therapists, or simply relax and enjoy our pool, jacuzzi, and thermal suites. 27 holes of championship-level golf are available to play, with a course as beautiful as the stunning scenery surrounding it. And, because golf has been at the very heart of Matfen Hall for almost 30 years, there is also a Par-3 short course, a golf academy, a driving range and a purpose-built clubhouse to make sure our Hotel guests, visitors and members have the complete golfing experience. As well as dining, spa, and golf, a range of additions can be made to make your experience at Matfen Hall extra special.
