I have stayed at Castle Combe four times now and stayed here twice and stayed at the Castle Inn twice. Both are great places to stay but are very different. This review covers the Manor House.
The entrance is through an electric gates at the bottom of the town, once through you know the stay will be special , the setting is spectacular, If you were on a romantic weekend, this is a good start, however I was with some work friends, nevertheless they were impressed.
There are 2 parts to the Hotel , The Mews and The Manor House, both are great in my view but the House is a little better and my experience is that if you get a discounted rate you will be in The Mews.
It is not cheap to stay here as drinks and breakfast are expensive but that is all part of the stay - the cost to maintain this p[lace must be huge.

Take a walk into the village at night - the light are great it only 500m to the pub. I would dine at the pub (Castle Inn) - the food is great and service first class.
I didn't play golf but my friends stated it was very good.

I will come back again.

We wanted somewhere very special to stay for two nights where we could have a nice birthday celebration meal in wonderful surroundings. After visiting the Manor's website and reading reviews on Trip Advisor we thought we had chosen well.
Sadly, this was not the case...
Our room was fine, although it didn't have a view as we were not located in the main building - and we hadn't been made aware of this until we arrived. The bathroom was the main feature really - a fabulous wet-room style shower and a spa bath, under floor heating, fibre optic lighting, and a T.V.
Cleanliness was not a 100% - our first observation was the badly stained cushions adorning the bed.
The dining experience was definitely not what we had expected. The service was very pleasant but a number of basics were missing - no ice in the water jug, no butter with the bread rolls - and one of the main courses was amazingly poor; we were offered a replacement but the occasion was spoilt.
Breakfast in our room was no improvement. The toast and danish we had ordered were missing from our tray so we telephoned room service and they were duly delivered - dry and unpalatable - and with no cutlery.
Not quite throwing the towel in we ordered sandwiches in the quaint lounge area in the afternoon. The wrong order arrived ten minutes later. We pointed this out and it was duly replaced by a second wrong order. Then we gave in and we ate out for the rest of our stay! There's a limit to how many times you want to have to point out that something isn't right - especially when you are there to celebrate a special occasion. Incidentally, the Manor take the trouble of asking you the reason for your stay when you book; we had thought this was a nice touch.
Maybe we just got unlucky.

We won a night's stay at The Manor House Hotel and was absolutely amazed at how fantastic this place is. Upon arrival we were upgraded to a Junior Suite reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful it was almost like you were transported back a couple of hundred years. The four poster bed was the best I have ever slept in. The view of the grounds from the room was spectacular.

We did not choose to eat in the hotel as the prices were very expensive so we went to the alternative hotel in the village which was nice but still quite expensive. The grounds of the hotel are immaculate and in the summer would be lovely to work around. We had breakfast in the morning which was nice and there was as much food as you wanted ranging from cereals and pastries to a full cooked breakfast.

We had a wonderful time and the staff were excellent we were treated exactly the same as paying guests. I would definitely pay to stay at this hotel would be lovely for a special occasion. Thank you for a fantastic time an experience we will never forget.

Fantastic Location, quite, secluded, great long weekend! All the staff were helpful, and it felt like a home from home.
