Stunning Welbeck Manor and Golf renovated and welcoming guests!
The PMG was approached by the owner of Welbeck Manor at Sparkwell to highlight this lovingly renovated boutique hotel set in beautiful surroundings with its own 9 hole Golf Course. The team at the manor are keen to welcome our members to book the hotel for potential accommodation for their visitors to the area and catered corporate meetings.
We were intrigued to hear more about this country manor as there is a rather fitting link to our manufacturing and engineering community – Welbeck was actually built by non-other Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1849.
Brunel, as a great engineer, built the house like a railway station with a steel frame making some of the refurbishment a real challenge but at the same time, the current owner is in no doubt that this is the reason the house had not fallen into a worse state.
A quirk of fate led Paul Yarnley to Welbeck during the winter of 2021, despite the rain he felt the setting was stunning and the house would, with investment, be fabulous! So when he was advised it was for sale, he persuaded the family to invest and hence their story at Welbeck began – this was 9th April 2021 – coincidentally the birthday of Isambard Kingdom Brunel!
The golf course was established in 1993, but had been allowed to deteriorate but with the input of superb green keepers there is now a course of which the family owners are extremely proud. This has been reflected by an increase in membership from 30 to close to 200, a testament to the green keepers.
Refurbishment of the hotel, which took 24 months, included rebuilding floors, completely rewiring, and removing 1960’s / 70’s water heating system, replacing with electric as well as installing solar panels and reverse refrigeration to heat water and of course completely redecorating. This has been achieved without losing the amazing original features.

We would also like to thank Welbeck Manor for their very kind donation to our Seasonal Supper Charity Raffle for the Ocean Conservation Trust.
