New Hotel Brings Added Dimension To Cotswolds Golf Club
The newly refurbished Feldon Valley golf club in the Cotswolds has expanded its offering to customers with a new two-storey hotel and four woodland lodges.
Contractor Stepnell completed the £6.75 million hotel, along with the lodges, providing accommodation for up to 50 guests. The team also delivered the extension and remodelling of the existing clubhouse.
The 13-bedroom hotel and lodges complement the transformation of the clubhouse building, which includes the redesign of the interior layout and the creation of enhanced external terraces overlooking the 18-hole course.
They are linked by an elevated boardwalk, with the buildings clad in high-quality, naturally weathering materials that ensure the development is fully in keeping with the idyllic countryside setting of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Rob Speirs, regional director at Stepnell, said: "One of the key parts of our brief was to deliver something that enhances the club and surrounding area for non-members, and we're happy to have stepped up to meet the challenge.
"The work at Feldon Valley was essentially three projects in one. As well as an extensive refurbishment job on the existing clubhouse, the need to build both a two-storey hotel and four high-quality woodland lodges – all while allowing the club to stay open for business – gave us the opportunity to demonstrate the variety of our expertise."
The entire project was delivered while the club remained open to members, ensuring it maintained its existing revenue streams while the build was in progress.
