Buckinghamshire is well known for its beautiful landscapes and of course the famous Chilterns but a question asked by many potential guests is, “what is there to do for the fitness conscious hotel guests that doesn’t involve walking, jogging or running in the area? The answer is … A lot!

You can find the Cannons Health Club only a 5 minute drive away from the hotel in the beautiful surroundings of Stoke Pogues. The health club is set in a wonderful old building which provides gym facilities; regular fitness challenges, a pool and free parking. They also welcome children and run junior activities, (including swimming), a friendly crèche, day nursery and a comfortable café to sit and unwind after a hard day exercising.

Or, why don’t you take a rest after that hard day in meetings or that tiring sightseeing trip to London, and relax with a spa treatment or sauna. Opening times, prices and directions are available at reception, so please feel free to ask a front desk attendant for details.

Breeze in Gerrards Cross is even closer to the hotel and offers tennis courts for hire, so why not take on your colleague or family member in a friendly game. Make it even more interesting by making the loser of course buy the first round of drinks in our Jack Shrimpton Bar. Again, details are all available at our front desk.

Not your kind of thing? Why not try a golf lesson at one of the many distinguished golf clubs situated in some of the most beautiful settings in England. Buckinghamshire has 41 registered golf courses many of which are very close to The Bull Hotel and welcome non members. The closest is Gerrards Cross Golf Club where visitors are welcome on weekdays subject to tee off reservations and at the weekends visitors are welcome as guests of a member.

Ladies – concerned that GOLF still stands for ‘Gentleman Only Ladies Forbidden’?
No need to worry as the sport has come a long way since it was first played in 1502. The Buckinghamshire Golf Course situated in an oasis of calm and privacy is now the headquarters to the Ladies European tour. Please check at reception for information on the dress code, fees and directions.

Fancy something different? Check with our reception staff for other information on a wide range of activities. Maybe a martial arts class or table tennis….the choice is yours!
