Morley Hayes is an old dairy farm that has been converted and extended into a large Golf course/club, Hotel and Restaurants. The complex of facilities and buildings all sit around a large car park. So, you can access all buildings quickly and easily as they are all very close by.

There are 3 main sections to the Morley Hayes complex. The Hotel, Roosters Bar & Restaurant and The Golf Pavilion.

The Hotel – We have 28rooms (out of a possible 32) reserved for the Association.

These can now be booked on a first come first served basis. The rooms are all Executive style with Juliet Balconies or Superior style with full balconies.

They are very well maintained and are clean and spacious, with some excellent views over the golf course.

Rooms can be booked with a non-refundable £50 deposit before 31March 2026 after which, the hotel may release unused rooms back to the public.

The hotel building itself consists of Bedrooms, Reception,and a Breakfast room. There are no conference/meeting rooms in this building. Next to the Hotel Reception is a small 24-hour bar. There is no draught lager/beer at this bar, but nonetheless it is well stocked. Other bars on site will close at approx. 2330-0000.

Roosters Bar and Restaurant – This is situated directly opposite the hotel entrance, just a few steps away.Roosters is akin to a Beefeater/Harvester/pub grub style establishment. This facility is open 1130hrs to 2330 serving excellent food throughout. So, a good option for lunch! Upstairs from Roosters is another Restaurant called The Dovecote Restaurant. This will need to be pre-booked if you choose to eat there. This is for more formal evening dining 1830-2100. So, this may be an option if you choose to stay Sunday night too?  The Dovecote Restaurant also offers a Champagne Breakfast on Saturday 1000-1230 (for an additional cost and must be pre-booked).

The Pavilion Function Room – This is where we will have exclusive use of our own Function Room from Friday evening through to Sunday morning. So, this room will be used for The History/Archive Display, The Committee Meeting, the AGM, and both Friday buffet and Saturday night pre-drinks and dinner.

The Pavilion Function Room is also situated adjacent to the Hotel entrance. As you leave the hotel entrance, turn immediately right, and it is approx. 50 yards across the car park.

Inside this building is our Function Room situated on the first floor overlooking the Golf Course and is adjacent to another separate establishment called The Spike Bar. The Spike Bar is open 0730-1700 serving food and drinks. So, this could be an alternative breakfast and/or lunch option. Our large function room in the Pavilion Building has a fully permanent and well stocked bar including draught beer/lager.

Golf – If interested, there is a driving range, an 18 hole and a 9 hole course. There is also a cafe situated adjacent to the driving range and shop. This is a 5 minute walk along the entrance driveway back towards the main road.

Alternative Accommodation – We have 28 rooms reserved. Should you be the individual looking for the 28th and subsequent rooms when the hotel is full, the best and nearest recommended alternate hotel is Breadshall Priory (Marriott style 4*). This hotel is less than 5 mins drive away. Morley Hayes have agreed to provide a free shuttle bus to/from this hotel for Friday’s and Saturday’s dinner if required.  However,this needs to be pre-booked directly with Morley Hayes Hotel Reception.
