Our mums do so much for us over the years, and although she should always know how much we value her, Mother’s Day is a great day to go that little bit further. So why not show her how much you appreciate the sacrifices she has made and put in that little bit more effort, that little bit more than the traditional card and flowers – don’t get me wrong a card and flowers are perfect, but why not make her feel extra special in a more creative and meaningful way.
That’s where we at Ufford Park Resort can help. We have so much to offer and would like to share a few ideas with you – you may want to give your own children a few hints as well.
Gift
Does your mum like her moisturisers, cleaners and exfoliators? All our treatments use Temple Spa products, and we have a selection on sale at our Spa Reception and online - a perfect little extra. There are even products to help relieve the signs of aging if you are brave enough!
Time together
If you would like to spend quality time with the lovely lady, then we recommend a day out together doing something they enjoy, whether it's a stroll, lunch or a spa experience.
Coffee and cake
Often, it is nice just to sit and relax, one-on-one, with our mums and catch up on all that is happening in our lives. Work, family and commitments often get in the way, and before we know it, the weeks have gone by, and we have not had time for each other.
At Ufford Park, we serve food all day, every day and always have a delicious selection of homemade cakes to accompany a cup of tea or coffee.
Our bar and restaurant look out over 120 acres of stunning historic parkland, and no matter what the weather or time of year, there really is no better place to sit, relax and enjoy the view – except on one of our two terraces on a warm summer day.
Afternoon Tea
Of course, we could not forget to mention our scrumptious Ufford Park afternoon tea. Sandwiches, cakes, and scones served in the restaurant or on the terrace, this is a firm favourite with mums.
Lunch
Your mum deserves a break from her busy schedule, and what better way than to treat her to lunch? Our daytime menu has a varied choice of options that we hope will have something for both you and your mum.
Walk
So, having enjoyed your cake, lunch or afternoon tea, you will surely need to walk it off. We have that covered as well! As I mentioned above, we are set in a beautiful parkland, and of course, when the golf course was designed, they left a track around the edge. I mean, why wouldn’t you? It provides a lovely 2-mile walk (or run) for our guests and leisure club members to enjoy. You could always save the cake and coffee for after your walk!
Treatments
Spoil her with a spa treatment or pedicure. We have provided a haven where she, or both of you, can truly relax and rejuvenate from head to toe. With therapists dedicated to your wellbeing and facilities for you to truly switch off in, we think that a treatment will really make her feel special.
There are so many options from massages and facials to manicures and therapist-free spa experiences. The choice is yours (or hers if you buy her a gift voucher).
Our therapist free spa experiences are just that, they are non-contact experiences which are perfect for mums (and with Father’s Day in mind, dads) who do not cherish the thought of being touched.
Spa Experience
Go that extra mile and book a spa experience. Specially designed to make her feel extra special and extra pampered, from the personal welcome and chilled wellbeing drink to the soft fluffy robe and flip flops, and her experience is only just beginning.
With perfectly ambient and scented treatment spaces, bubbling spa jets, jacuzzi, swimming pool, and so much more, all topped off with a delicious tapa lunch or warm homemade scones, tea infusions and premium coffee, she will feel the stress just fade away.
Dine – Just you and Mum
Let our talented, passionate chefs cook a delicious meal for your Mum, we will even do the washing up! Whether you are thinking of lunch or dinner, our menus are bursting full of delicious options for you and your mum to catch up over. Knowing that everyone is different and with allergens taken into account, we think our Head Chef has come up with a fantastic menu.
Dine – With the whole family
With your mum meaning so much to so many, or maybe there is more than one mum in your family, we would love to welcome you all to our restaurant. Of course, you may wish to have a private room, we can sort that too. With several different-sized private rooms, we can cater for almost all family sizes. Just ask our lovely team for more information.
Stay over
Start the day off by showing her that you value her and want to take care of her by treating her to breakfast in bed. With so much to do within the resort, you really don’t need to leave us, but the countryside nearby is stunning, and there is so much to do and visit close by that we really do recommend staying overnight in one of our stylish guest bedrooms.
Once you are done exploring, we suggest a gentle swim in our indoor pool or relaxation in the bar, soaking up the view.
Why not treat your mum to one of our rooms with a view and balcony?

Vouchers
With so much to choose from at Ufford Park Resort, you could give her the gift of choice with a voucher and let her decide how to spend her special treat.
Congo Rapids Lost World Adventure Golf
As if we have not given you enough ideas, we have one more up our sleeve - Adventure Golf! Cross lagoons on a self-propelled raft, pass the abandoned temple, and watch out for the erupting volcano and the roaring dinosaurs. Congo Rapids is crazy golf on a large scale, and it’s great for everyone no matter how young or old, making it perfect for a bit of fun, relaxation and family bonding.
Bring the family with you or not; combine any of the above ideas, and your day is sure to be a hit. But don’t forget the photos! Our 120 acres of historic parkland provide a stunning backdrop for your photos so you can remember the special time you spent together for years to come
Whatever you decide to do, you can engage in heartfelt conversations, reminisce about cherished memories, and create new ones to treasure. Remember, it’s the thought and effort that counts, so whatever you do, make it from the heart.
