SELF-CATERING STAYCATIONS

The Manor House in Wiltshire has added a self-catering option to its already impressive line-up of bedrooms, suites and properties with a new private cottage located in Castle Combe.

With many couples looking to honeymoon in the UK this year, the luxury Wiltshire hotel has purchased Baker’s Cottage to give a new dimension to its overnight offering. It’s a two-bedroom, dog-friendly property with a garden terrace, kitchen and lounge. Complete with a double bedroom, twin bedroom, and a sofa bed available in the lounge, it’s perfect for a relaxing family getaway – accommodating up to four adults.

General manager Gaius Wyncoll, tells us: “Baker’s Cottage is a real coup for The Manor House. It’s a stunning property with plenty of character and space. We’re lucky enough to be situated in one of the most magnificent parts of the country and wanted to make sure that we would appeal to everyone looking for a domestic getaway this summer.”

Avid golfers can enjoy one of the best courses in the South West at The Manor House, with the 18hole layout set amongst 365 acres of rolling countryside. The luxury 14th-century stately hotel is also home to a Michelin-starred restaurant, al-fresco dining terraces and a dedicated gin bar.
