Golfers can stay in the height of luxury when they visit The Manor House Hotel and Golf Club this summer with the Wiltshire venue offering a range of new five-star golfing breaks – with packages starting from £142 per person.

Already regarded as one of the top stay-and-play courses in England, guests are in for an added treat when they stay in the future after The Manor House’s hotel was recently upgraded to a five black-star property by the official AA Hotel Services rating.

The Manor House Hotel Golf Break packages include 36 holes of golf on a course rated the best in Wiltshire in the ‘Top 100 Golf Courses in England’ poll, luxury bed and breakfast accommodation and a three-course dinner in the clubhouse.

Use of the club’s driving range facilities are also included in the price, which is based on two people sharing a room, with one golfer going free when staying in groups of eight or more (not Saturdays) – and visitors can upgrade to the hotel’s Michelin star Bybrook restaurant for just £30 per person.

Dating back to the 14th century and described as a “real gem of a hotel” in the AA report, The Manor House nestles in 365 acres of stunning countryside in Castle Combe, near Bath – one of the most picturesque villages in England – and its five-star facilities include a collection of 48 bedrooms and suites.

The Manor House Hotel and Golf Club is owned by the Exclusive Golf group alongside Mannings Heath Golf Club in Horsham, West Sussex, with both venues featuring in the latest ‘Top 100 Golf Courses in England’ standings.

Steve Slinger, Exclusive Golf’s manager said: “We are very proud and honoured to be awarded a five-star rating as it recognises the hard work, caring attitude and unrelenting dedication of all the staff.

“It’s our aim at Exclusive Golf to provide the best possible experience for our guests at all our venues and this latest accolade means golfers can enjoy a luxury break at an eye-catching price.”

Situated in 500 acres of beautiful Sussex downland near Horsham, Mannings Heath is a perfect complement to The Manor House, boasting two outstanding championship golf courses and a striking clubhouse that dates back to the 17th century.

The 6,683-yard Waterfall Course is situated on land where golf has been played since the very early 1900s and has been selected to host the 2013 English Women’s Amateur Strokeplay Championship in August, while the Kingfisher Course is set in an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ and offers breathtaking panoramic views over the tree tops and across the South Downs.

Exclusive Golf was formed in 2010 and is a part of Exclusive Hotels, a prestigious group of individual, stylish hotels in the south of England, located in stunning surroundings and presenting a luxurious tranquillity in beautiful English locations.
