The Manor House by Celtic Manor

Location: Newport, Wales | Accommodation: ~65 rooms & suites | Golf: Access to three championship courses within the Celtic Manor Resort

The Manor House is a charming 19th-century country-house style hotel situated at the heart of the Celtic Manor Resort, surrounded by over 2,000 acres of parkland in the Usk Valley. Guests who stay here enjoy easy access to the resort’s world-class golf courses, spa, conference facilities, and dining options, all while enveloped in an atmosphere of cosy heritage and modern comfort.

Originally built as a stately country residence, it retains elegant period features, wood-panelled rooms, sweeping staircases, and romantic four-poster beds, while offering contemporary amenities and connections to the full resort experience, perfect for a Wales golf holiday.

Golf Courses

Celtic Manor Resort is home to three championship courses:

• Twenty Ten – The centrepiece course at Celtic Manor, purpose-built for the 2010 Ryder Cup. This championship layout features risk-reward holes, immaculate conditioning, and dramatic water features.
• Roman Road – A classic parkland layout routed through the resort’s rolling estate. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., it combines sweeping fairways, sloping greens, and stunning views over the Severn Estuary.
• The Montgomerie – Designed by Colin Montgomerie, this course blends woodland and open hillside terrain to create a challenging, parkland experience.

Accommodation

The Manor House offers approximately 65 traditionally styled guestrooms, many of which have been updated with modern comforts while preserving their period charm, including four-poster beds in select rooms.

Restaurant & Bars

Guests can dine at a variety of on-site venues:

• PAD Restaurant – A modern, Asian-inspired dining concept open for breakfast and dinner.
• The Cellar Bar – A relaxed, intimate spot within The Manor House, serving drinks and light fare before or after dinner.
• Manor Bar & Hedleys – More casual settings for diners seeking a laid-back meal or beverage.

Because this is part of the broader Celtic Manor Resort, guests can also access the resort’s larger dining portfolio, which includes multiple restaurants and bars across the property.
