We cater towards experienced golfers, as well as beginners. We welcome you to ask us about our individual golf coaching from one of our experienced pros.

"I truly love getting to teach our guests all about golf. Being able to see the difference after a couple of days is what gets me up in the morning."

Tony Varney, PGA Head Professional

The Golfing Experience

Our two championship courses – the Hill and the Valley – each present their own character and challenges. The Valley Course, with its undulating fairways and elevated greens, tests your strategic thinking and course management. Meanwhile, the Hill Course weaves alongside the River Yare, offering an easier yet equally engaging round.

We’ve designed our practice facilities to help you make the most of your game. Our floodlit driving range lets you work on your swing whatever time you arrive, while our putting greens mirror the actual course conditions you’ll face. For those looking to improve, our PGA professionals offer custom-fitted coaching sessions using the latest video analysis technology.

Maximise Value Through Smart Timing 

Each season at Barnham Broom offers unique opportunities to combine golf with Norfolk’s attractions.

Here’s how to time your visit perfectly:

Spring (March-April) 

Quieter courses mean unrushed rounds and better rates. It’s also prime time for watching rare birds return to the Norfolk Broads, just 30 minutes from our courses. The magnificent display of daffodils at Sandringham Estate makes an excellent day trip after your morning golf.

Peak Season (May-June) 

Long summer days let you maximise your golf time with early tee-offs and twilight rounds. Norwich Cathedral’s open-air Shakespeare Festival runs during these months – perfect for evening entertainment after your game. The Norfolk coast’s traditional seaside towns come alive, offering a classic British summer experience.

Autumn Glory (September-October) 

As autumn colours transform our courses, the crowds thin at major attractions. Explore Norwich Castle Museum without the summer queues, or time your visit with the Norfolk Food & Drink Festival for a taste of local cuisine.

Winter Warmth (November-February) 

Our winter packages include indoor options when weather challenges play. This coincides with peak wildlife watching at Norfolk’s nature reserves, while Norwich’s covered markets offer cosy shopping experiences.

10 Benefits of a Spa Day

A spa day delivers measurable improvements to your physical and mental health. Here at Barnham Broom, nestled in Norfolk’s countryside, we combine luxury facilities with targeted treatments to maximise these benefits. Let’s explore exactly how a spa day transforms your wellbeing.

Key Takeaways

  • Stress reduction through proven massage techniques
  • Better sleep from specialised aromatherapy treatments
  • Enhanced skin health using premium ESPA products
  • Improved circulation and muscle recovery
  • Mental clarity from dedicated relaxation time

Stress Relief That Lasts

Massage therapy directly lowers your body’s stress hormones while boosting feel-good endorphins. Our Aromatherapy Back Massage (from £50 for 30 minutes) and Hot Stone Full Body Massage (from £90 for 60 minutes) combine deep tissue techniques with Swedish massage to target persistent tension points.

Better Sleep Quality

Poor sleep wreaks havoc on your health and productivity. Our afternoon spa treatments reset your body’s natural rhythm through targeted pressure point therapy and carefully selected aromatherapy blends. Treatments like the Deep Tissue Full Body Massage (£100 for 60 minutes) are crafted to enhance relaxation and promote restorative sleep.

Skin Health Transformation

Our ESPA facials, such as the Personalised ESPA Facial (£74 for 50 minutes) or the Express Facial (£49 for 30 minutes), deliver real results. These treatments are tailored to your specific skin concerns, ensuring optimal results.. We start with a thorough skin analysis to customise your treatment, targeting specific concerns like dryness, ageing, or uneven texture. Through deep cleansing and specialised massage techniques, we stimulate natural collagen production and cell renewal. Your skin becomes healthier from the inside out.

Natural Detoxification

The combination of heat therapy and specialised body treatments, such as our Salt & Oil Body Scrub (£47 for 30 minutes) or the Ultimate Body Wrap (£65 for 60 minutes), accelerates your body’s natural cleansing process. Our sauna and steam rooms open your pores and stimulate circulation, while targeted body wraps draw out impurities. The Edge Health & Fitness Club‘s facilities complement these treatments, creating a complete detoxification experience that leaves you feeling refreshed and energised.

Pain and Tension Relief

Chronic pain and muscle tension need more than just a quick fix. Our therapeutic massages, such as the Deep Tissue Back Massage (£73 for 30 minutes) or the Hot Stone Luxury Full Body Massage (£110 for 90 minutes), target persistent knots and trigger points, particularly effective for desk-related shoulder tension and sports injuries. We use varied pressure and specialised techniques to reach deep tissue, providing relief that lasts.

Enhanced Circulation

Improved blood flow affects everything from your energy levels to your skin’s appearance. Treatments such as the Total Body Care (£104 for 105 minutes) or the invigorating ESPA Back, Face and Scalp Treatment (£100 for 80 minutes) stimulate circulation through rhythmic movements and contrast therapy, leaving you with a healthy glow. Regular spa sessions help maintain these circulation benefits, especially important for those with desk-based jobs.

Mental Clarity Boost

A spa day clears mental fog and restores focus. Treatments like the Oriental Head Massage (£49 for 30 minutes), known for its soothing pressure point techniques, can enhance this mental reset. In our peaceful treatment rooms, away from phones and deadlines, your mind naturally resets. The quiet of our Norfolk countryside location enhances this mental break. Guests often report having their best ideas or finding solutions to persistent problems during their time with us

Personalised Self-Care

Everyone’s body responds differently to treatments. Options like the Reflexology (£66 for 50 minutes) or Thai Foot Massage (£49 for 30 minutes) allow you to customise your experience to focus on your needs.. Our experienced therapists adapt each session to your specific needs, whether you’re dealing with chronic tension or seeking preventative care. They adjust pressure, techniques, and focus areas based on your feedback. This customised approach ensures you get maximum benefit from every visit.

Quality Time Together

Shared experiences create stronger bonds. Opt for our Celebrate Together Spa Package (£112 per person Monday-Thursday; £122 Friday-Sunday) to enjoy tailored treatments, pool access, and shared relaxation in a private setting. It’s the perfect way to reconnect while indulging in luxury.

Lasting Energy Revival

The effects of a spa day extend well beyond the immediate relaxation. Treatments like the Total Body Care with Face and Scalp massage (£130 for 120 minutes) and Signature Collagen Facial (£82 for 60 minutes) reset your body’s energy systems, leaving you more productive and revitalized for days afterward.

What To Expect When Staying At A Spa Resort

A spa resort stay combines luxury accommodation with professional treatments, thermal facilities, and wellness activities. At Barnham Broom, we offer packages from £85 for day visits to £295 for luxury overnight stays, all designed to deliver maximum relaxation and value. Our eco-conscious resort, just 11 miles from Norwich, features 46 rooms, ESPA treatments, and comprehensive fitness facilities.

  • Arrive 30 minutes before treatments to use thermal facilities effectively.
  • Combine treatments strategically to enhance their benefits.
  • Plan meal times around your spa schedule for optimal relaxation.

PREPARING FOR YOUR STAY AT A SPA RESORT

The most effective spa breaks start with smart scheduling. Book your treatments with at least a two-hour gap between sessions – this allows time for thermal facilities and proper relaxation. At Barnham Broom, we recommend scheduling more intense treatments like deep tissue massage earlier in your stay, followed by gentler treatments like facials.

Essential Items to Pack:

  • Two sets of swimwear (one to wear while the other dries)
  • Hair ties and toiletries
  • Gym wear if planning to use fitness facilities
  • Light, comfortable clothing for between treatments

Drink plenty of water 24 hours before arrival and avoid heavy meals. If you’re booked for a massage, don’t schedule intensive exercise immediately before – your muscles need to be relaxed, not tense.
