Sutton and around COULSDON MANOR HOTEL & GOLF CLUB, CROYDON The Coulsdon Manor Hotel, a Bespoke Hotels property sits in the historic village of Old Coulsdon. The current hotel building was built in 1850 by the third squire of the manor of Coulsdon, Thomas Byron. The fine Victorian house replaced the much smaller Hartley Farm, which dated back to the 13th century. Golf was introduced at Coulsdon Manor shortly after the estate was purchased by a developer in 1923. The Harry Colt-designed course has, although private at first, remained relatively unchanged ever since, with it being opened to the public as Coulsdon Court Golf Course on the 18th of January 1938. The Blenheim Suite is licenced for civil ceremonies for up to 100 guests and can seat up to 80 guests at a wedding breakfast. A reception for up to 120 people can also be enjoyed here and the stylish suite benefits from a bar and two private terraces. The Manor Room caters for 120 seated guests and up to 200 loved ones for an evening reception. It overlooks the large terrace and private grassed area with sweeping views of the golf course. This beautiful room with high ceilings, chandeliers and mural-clad walls offers the ideal space for dancing. It benefits from the use of the adjacent Churchill suite.
