About
The Manor House is a hotel in a Grade II listed manor house at Castle Combe, part of the Exclusive Collection. Historic England gives the house seventeenth-century origins, heavily rebuilt about 1830 to 1850 for G. P. Scrope and altered after 1871; the hotel itself speaks of a fourteenth-century building, and the Scropes held the manor from about 1400 to 1866. Its grounds take in Italian gardens and an 18-hole championship golf course, and the Castle Inn, its sister in the village, is a two-minute walk away.
The Bybrook, the hotel's restaurant, has held a Michelin star since 2017 and has four AA Rosettes. It serves dinner from Wednesday to Sunday, with tables from 6pm to 8.30pm, and takes children aged 12 and over at dinner. Lounge dining is served every day, lunch from noon to 3.45pm and dinner from 6.30pm to 8.45pm, and breakfast runs from 7am to 10.30am. Afternoon tea is served in the lounges from 1pm to 4pm, and there is room service around the clock. The lounges have open fires.
Rooms are in the main house, in the Mews Cottages a short walk down from it, and in suites around the grounds, and there are self-catering cottages in the village; the hotel does not publish how many rooms there are. Dog-friendly rooms and family rooms are available: cots are free, z-beds are offered for children under 12, and a child's bed and breakfast costs £40 a night. The Cosy room in the Mews is adapted for wheelchair users. There is no spa, but there is a gym at the golf clubhouse and a tennis court. The hotel holds weddings.
