GATTON MANOR

Located South of Dorking this gem is within easy reach of London, the south coast and major motorways (M25, A3, M23). Gatton Manor, set within 200 acres of leafy Surrey, is the ideal retreat for a relaxing golf break.

The golf course itself was constructed in the late 60s, and was conceived by Commander John Harris, a distinguished architect who went on to create fantastic golf courses around the world, particularly in New Zealand.

Though not especially long – Gatton Manor reaches 6,600 yards at its peak - the challenging course is a great test of golf even for low handicappers and boosts the longest hole in the South East of England (645 yards). No two holes are alike and imaginative use has been made of streams, lakes and tree-lined fairways.

Driving through narrow country lanes, you immediately sense a slower pace and feel the stress of modern life drain away as you arrive at Gatton Manor. Gatton Manor is a fantastic country retreat but in spite of this a short drive of London.

Gatton Manor has18 bedrooms, a mixture of twin or doubles, many of which are situated in the manor house; this dates back to 1728 and was the original Dowager House of the Abinger Estate. The Manor House bedrooms were refurbished in early 2007 and offer superior accommodation.

For those on a tighter budget, the Clubhouse rooms offer a comfortable alternative. The warm award winning welcome and service that is extended to all visitors embellishes the charm of Gatton Manor, which is the perfect place to escape for an intimate golfing getaway.

As you would expect there are excellent practice facilities – practice range, chipping area and putting green.

Gatton Manor also has a fitness suite again recently refurbished, which has been fitted out with new Techno Gym equipment (running machine, bicycle, cross trainer) and a renewed Concept 2 Rowing machine. There are also new free weights.

There is a games room equipped with pool table and darts board.

Gatton Manor has an in-house therapist who can provide a range of treatments in the comfort of your bedroom (ideal for the non-golfing partner!); bookings are subject to availability so we recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment.

The Clubhouse provides bar, restaurant and function room facilities and terraces overlooking the lake for ‘al fresco’ eating.

In the bar, the inglenook fireplace invites you to settle down and enjoy the local ales, wines and spirit on offer. A bar snack menu and a range of inviting daily specials are available throughout the day.

In the Restaurant, an a la carte menu is offered; this changes on a monthly basis to ensure we maximise use of seasonal ingredients and wherever possible locally sourced produce. We recognise that larger groups (12 or more) may want to make different dining arrangements, for example carvery; we are very happy to accommodate these when arranged in advance.

Late bars can be provided for large groups if arranged in advance.
