Who are we?
Feldon Valley is a destination in the north Cotswolds – building a great reputation for golf, food and overnight accommodation. After purchasing the property in 2013, Thariq Ahmad has invested heavily in the golf course to make it one of the best in the area. With Thariq’s funding we were also able to completely redesign the Clubhouse in 2018 to provide a setting for our Restaurant & Bar, Meeting Room and Golf Shop. Although our Restaurant is in the Clubhouse and we are proud to serve our members and visiting golfers, it is important to acknowledge that we are not a Golf Club Restaurant and our aim has always been to deliver a standalone, quality dining experience, open to everyone from hotel guests to the local community and beyond.
The hotel was completed in 2019 and offers overnight accommodation with 25 bedrooms spread across five buildings. There is no direct comparison to our hotel in the area and we are proud to present a modern design that blends with the surroundings and the unique boast that 100% of all profit from the hotel is donated to three charities.
We are a company with a modern outlook, focusing on the wellbeing of our employees and actively seeking to create the balance between work and home life – offering flexibility with shift patterns to suit personal requirements and listening to personal needs and wishes.
