Padel has become the new craze, so why not book a stay at these hotels and use their state-of-the art padel courts - (Doddington Hall & Gardens)

Padel has become the fastest-growing sport in the UK, with the pastime seen as the more social and accessible sister to tennis, and now more and more hotels across the country are embracing the activity with dedicated padel courts to book and hire.

The rise of padel can be attributed to how easy it is to learn, straining the body less than tennis, making it more of a fun hobby to play with friends than an oh-so-serious sport.
