Spent a wonderful sunny afternoon at Mannings Heath Estate for the cheese and wine paring experience with friends. We tasted 5 different wines first then added the matched cheese to enhance the flavours. Overall really impressed with the level of service and knowledge from Jo. Then we sat out on the terrace with more wine 🍷 My personal favourite was the Pinot Noir and will have to come back to purchase another bottle.
What an amazing weekend we've just had at Mannings Heath Golf and Wine Estate to celebrate my Dad's 85th Birthday. From the initial booking with Jo she made us feel so welcome and nothing felt like too much trouble, the whole process running up to the event was easy and every request was dealt with quickly and efficiently. On the day we were greeted by Tracey and the team who again made us feel so welcome, the whole function ran like clockwork and the team were attentive and serving us with a smile. As for the food, well, what can I say, absolutely gorgeous, my husband and kids all said "the best soup ever" for their starter, my dad absolutely loved his cod main course and my beef main was so tasty too. They even accommodated my teenage boys request for chips which were really delicious and we all had yummy puddings and felt completely full. We stayed in the holiday cottage (Fullers Cottage) for the night which is located just a short distance from the main club house. The cottage is gorgeous and perfect for an overnight stay, it's beautifully furnished with really comfortable beds, warm and really cosy, they even have extra blankets which my dad loved as being old he does get cold. Lovely touches like having a Novus tea selection box and a bottle of their wine in the fridge was lovely for us to enjoy too. It was only a shame it's winter as I can imagine on a summers evening the private garden would be lovely. The team even delivered a selection of sandwiches and cakes to the cottage for us in the evening which was a lovely touch. Breakfast the following morning again was gorgeous, the food still to the same high standard as the day before and again the team made us feel welcome and well looked after. I cannot recommend this venue enough for anyone considering having their event here, absolutely 5 star, thank you so much Mannings Heath!!
I really loved everything about Mannings Heath, the bright pink club house sets the scene as soon as you arrive.
Its a classic club house set perfectly amongst the undulating courses. Conditions were pretty good given the time of the year, the fairways were quite muddy but acceptable and the greens were great. There are so many great holes, the par three 10th aptly named waterfall lives up to its name, playing down the hill with the waterfall cascading alongside it. Its a classic example of a course that on paper (gps) looks very easy until you arrive and see how much the landscape effects each hole. A few of the par 4s force shot shaping off the tee if you really want to take out the yardage which I loved about the course, the risk reward is high. There pro shop was under renovation at the time of my visit and I was assured that their own wine from the onsite vineyard would be viable to buy by June, a great reason to go back, that and the fact its a brilliant track.
