專享莊園別墅飯店及高爾夫俱樂部

After a busy week in London for business, my wife and I spent a lovely weekend at the Manor House in Castle Combe. For anyone looking for the quintessential picture-book English country estate, you cannot go wrong with The Manor House, which isn't simply near Castle Combe (one of the most beautiful Cotswold villages in the area), but actually integrated within the village itself. The first thing you notice about the Manor House when coming down the drive is the impeccably manicured grounds the hotel sits upon. Then you see the Manor House itself in all its glory. From top to bottom, the hotel is extremely well appointed. Historic, but not stuffy. Luxurious but not pretentious. We stayed in the Wellow cottage just up the drive from the house itself. The rooms mirror the surroundings with stone and wood throughout. The luxury bathroom with dual tubs and a large shower was the size of our London hotel room. The beds are soft and pillowy, and the wifi is strong. When it comes to service, the staff is wonderful and helpful. The food selection is perfect and the ability to order food and enjoy it in any of the Manor House rooms, or the outside lawn was a wonderful option. The included breakfast was wonderful, with a cooked option as well as a buffet. If you want a quick bite, you just need to stroll down the street to the Castle Inn - an adjoining pub with a great, changing menu. Bybrook, the hotel's signature restaurant deserves its Michelin star with an outstanding 7 course tasting menu. I cannot recommend the Manor House enough. From location, to ambiance, to the helpful staff, this property needs to be top on your list for a Cotswolds holiday.

After a small misunderstanding with the hotel we were kindly compensated a complementary 1 night stay with breakfast at The Manor House. Our communications with the hotel prior to booking were with the operations manager, Denzil, and the reservations manager, Megan. Both were so helpful and could not do enough for us but I would like to give a special mention to Denzil who elevated our stay to exceptional heights and made us feel incredibly valued. When we arrived at the hotel, the reception staff were extremely polite and attentive to all our enquiries. The hotel itself is grand on the outside but has a quaint feel to it on the inside due to the layout of the many rooms. All the rooms/suites are individually named after local landmarks which adds to the classic feel of the venue. Our room was up a small set of stairs, it opened into a lounge which had been converted for our 4 year old. He was over the moon with the large tv from which he could watch from his wing backed chair. The whole suite was beautifully decorated with classic touches all around without compromising on modern conveniences. We had a large lunch at a lovely pub a few miles away before arriving so we booked into the lounge for a few things to eat. The food, while reasonably priced, was presented well and the flavours were well balanced. We had a few different cocktails and for me, they were the star of the show. If it wasn’t for my little one’s bedtime I would have worked my way through the menu. After a good nights rest we made our way down to the restaurant for breakfast. The continental breakfast has a perfect selection providing something for everyone. I would recommend anything with eggs as the yolks were bright orange and perfectly done. Overall, The Manor House deserves more than a 5* review. This is mainly down to the team. They are brilliant ambassadors of the hotel. We are already planning our return. Once again Denzil, thank you and hopefully we will see you soon.

A fabulous place in beautiful surroundings. Lovely staff, food and rooms superb. Full of charm and character. We had the tasting menu with wine flight in their Michelin starred restaurant. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable. We’ll be coming back.
