The Manor at Celtic Manor

A four-star country house hotel at a championship golf and spa resort

The Manor House is the elegant four-star country house hotel at the heart of the Celtic Manor Resort, in the wooded Usk Valley near Newport in South Wales. The original house from which the famous resort grew, it pairs comfortable, characterful rooms with access to the resort’s world-class facilities — three championship golf courses (this is the home of the 2010 Ryder Cup), an award-winning spa and a great choice of restaurants — making it a superb base for golf, spa and country breaks alike.

Comfort with resort facilities

As a guest you get the calm of a country house hotel with the run of a major resort. Rooms are comfortable and well appointed, and you have access to the Forum Spa for treatments and fitness, the golf, and a wide range of dining — from Steak on Six and The Grill to relaxed bites and afternoon tea. It is an easy, all-in-one base where everything is taken care of on site.

Golf, spa and family fun

Golfers are spoilt with three championship courses, including the one that hosted the 2010 Ryder Cup. Beyond the fairways, the resort offers the award-winning Forum Spa, plus family activities from adventure golf to rope courses and outdoor challenges — so it works just as well for a family holiday or a spa break as for a golfing trip.

Who it suits

The Manor House suits golfers drawn to a Ryder Cup venue, couples after a spa break, and families wanting a resort with plenty laid on. Its setting near Newport, just off the M4, makes it very easy to reach, and the country-house character gives it a more relaxed feel than a big resort block. It is a polished, facilities-rich choice rather than a simple B&B — ideal when you want comfort, golf, spa and dining all in one place.
