Selsdon Park & Golf Club

Addington Road
Sanderstead London,
EN CR2 8YA
United Kingdom

 
GENERAL INFORMATION :

What to expect: With a 1,000-year old history, the grand house at Selsdon Park has been through many changes, including the addition of 21st-century recreation and business conveniences. But it still retains the feel of a large Elizabethan manor: ivy-clad with sturdy towers, tapestries, a suit of armor, and jousting sabers in the lobby. For golfers and history lovers, business travelers and vacationers, this is a quintessentially English country retreat.

Amenity highlights: Golfers enjoy superb views of the Surrey countryside while on the hotel's 18-hole championship golf course, and golfing gear is available for rental and for sale from the on-site shop. The 205 acres of grounds with vast lawns and shade-trees provide ample encouragement for lounging. Facilities also include an 18-hole golf course, tennis and squash courts, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and fitness center offering a sauna, steam room, facials, massages, and other body treatments.

Insider tip: One half-mile east of the hotel, Selsdon Wood is an oasis of tranquility. The 200-acre conservation area has woodland, open meadows, ponds, and wildlife. Guests may find it by turning right at the end of the hotel's drive, and right again to the entrance on Old Farleigh Road.
