Le Manoir Hotel

Built in 1911 as the original family residence of Le Touquet Golf Club's owners, Le Manoir now offers 41 bedrooms and five bungalows, making it a great fit for couples, society trips and small groups who want comfort without the big-resort feel. Rooms keep the character of the house but come with the modern essentials you'll want after a long day on La Mer or La Forêt, and the refreshed bar, restaurant and reception (updated in early 2018) lift the feel of the hotel as a whole.

One of the big wins here is how effortless the golf is. You're effectively based at Le Touquet Golf Club, so you can step out and be on the first tee without transfers, timings or hassle. That also makes it a solid option for groups who want guaranteed tee times and a straightforward routine across a long weekend. La Mer is a classic links test, exposed to the coastal breeze and demanding accuracy off the tee, while La Forêt winds through pine forest and requires a different kind of precision. Both are walkable from your room, making multi-round days genuinely easy.

Beyond Le Touquet itself, you're ideally placed for day trips to Hardelot's two championship courses, Les Pins and Les Dunes, both of which sit comfortably in any conversation about France's best layouts. The wider area also offers horse riding, cycling through beach and forest trails, and the chance to try sand surfing on the coast, so non-golfing partners or rest days are well catered for.

When you're not playing, there's plenty to do on site, including a large heated outdoor pool, a tennis court and a snooker room. If your legs have had enough after 18 (or 36), you can stay put and eat at Le Manoir's restaurant and bar, or walk across to the clubhouse restaurant at Le Touquet Golf for a more relaxed option. Either way, you can keep the car parked, though Le Touquet's lively centre is close by if you fancy a change of scene.

The hotel's blend of period character, modern comfort, direct golf access and peaceful surroundings makes it a smart choice for golfers who want to maximise time on course while still enjoying quality accommodation and facilities. Whether you're here for a long weekend or a week-long tour of northern France's best tracks, Le Manoir offers the kind of base that lets you focus on your golf without sacrificing comfort or convenience.
