Set in the Cotswolds on the outskirts of Bath, the Manor House Hotel is a stunning 14th Century manor bursting with history and character yet finished with a contemporary edge. Guests can choose to stay either in the Manor itself or in one of the gorgeous Mews Cottages. The hotel's Bybrook Restaurant has a Michelin star and was recently named as ‘Wiltshire Restaurant of the Year'. Designed by Peter Alliss and Clive Clark and opened in 1992, the course at Manor House is a high-quality parkland layout set over undulating terrain and through woodland that teems with wildlife including Muntjac deer and Sparrowhawk.
