The Mount Country Manor Hotel and Golf Resort is a standout in the luscious West Midlands landscape, with a homely feel, welcoming staff and amenities, as well as that special touch of excellence you’d come to expect from a four star, 2x AA Rosette hotel. On top of all of this is a brilliant set of events facilities that will go far beyond what you’d expect from your average Golf Resort.
Boasting 67 stunning bedrooms, a stunning restaurant and a multitude of varied bars. The Mount has all the cornerstones of a very special hotel.
Then throw into the mix top notch leisure facilities and you’ll see this hotel really has hit a hole-in-one. Whether it’s a proper fully-stocked high end gym, a gorgeous 18-hole golf course and driving range (which can be hired out for corporate use) or a chilled out sports-bar, aptly named The Bunker, there’s so much space for you and your delegates to unwind.
When the time comes to get down to business however, The Mount still has you covered. There are 7 meeting rooms which can host from 4-180 guests theatre style, each with their own unique identity and use-case. There’s also team building available in and outdoors here at The Mount, giving you the opportunity to get seriously creative with your next event.
The first thing you’ll notice about The Mount upon arrival is the breadth of decadent history on this site. The Mount was acquired for £5000 way back in 1890 (a decent laptop would cost you more nowadays!).
Over the next century the property was privately owned, refurbished extensively and eventually sold to the Wolverhampton based Bernard family. It’s clear this amazing resort has a sense of pride and belonging to Wolves, this attitude is clear not just in its owners, but also the brilliantly diligent and skilful staff members of this venue!
Spot the 'The Mount' sign and you'll know something special's brewing. Roll into the spacious free parking lot, and bam – there's a stunning Grade II listed building with some serious history. This amazing venue is dripping with old-school grandeur. Check out the welcome committee: two massive ornamental dogs guarding the entrance. Step inside the compact but impressive reception, where a shiny knight in armour stands watch next to the desk. Oh, and don't miss the framed guitar signed by the Jacksons – yep, Tito was a regular here, adding a touch of musical star power to this historic spot.
Recently, under new ownership, this venue has soared to new heights, with a £1.5 million investment in 2015 seeing this hotel restored to its 19th century glory. That glory is nowhere more apparent than in the luxurious rooms available at The Mount.
The Mount has got you covered when it comes to delivering an incredible space for your delegates to stay the night. There’s everything from cozy Deluxe Doubles to huge, swanky Executive Suites. Every room comes kitted out with the essentials: a 32-inch TV, desk with fan, iron and ironing board, plus tea and coffee gear. Bathroom? Check. Want to level up? The Executive-level rooms throw in spacious lounges and seriously comfy larger beds that'll make guests at your event never want to leave!
We mentioned the leisure options here before but it’s not to be missed just how fantastic the options available here are. The Mount’s Gym is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment from some of the latest cross fit and weight training gear, to assault bikes and air runners. Open 7 days a week to residents to help keep in shape and feel good. Don’t forget the Golf course either, this is a serious treat, and available to hire for teams who love a game!

Onto the facilities and we have to talk about the dining first - there are some truly unforgettable spots to eat and drink in this venue.
The Mount boasts three unique bars that each tell a different story. The Champagne Bar buzzes as the hotel's social heart, welcoming both day-trippers and guests, while the Drawing Room, Bar & Grill stand ready for everything from casual lunches to serious meetings.
Foodies will love the Drawing Room's contemporary take on British cuisine. Seasonal A La Carte, a classic Afternoon Tea, and hearty Sunday Lunch come served under a stunning floral ceiling, with sunlight streaming through huge windows that showcase the gardens outside. This is a formal setting that won’t be forgotten by your delegates. Not in the mood for something as traditional? The aforementioned Champagne Bar offers a more laid-back vibe - we chilled out here with a glass after our tour and it’s the perfect spot for a social, networking meetup or afterparty!
When it comes to private dining, there's a space for every occasion. From cozy gatherings of 8 to full-blown celebrations of 150, these rooms are anything but boring. The Great Hall – the Mount’s original owners’ personal ballroom – is the showstopper, with hand-painted ceilings and chandeliers that whisper of history. The Mander Suite offers a modern contrast, bright and welcoming, perfect for up to 90 guests. The first-floor Wightwick Suite can host 30, while the intimate Classic rooms (2, 3, and 4) are ideal for smaller groups. Whether you're planning a corporate event or a family celebration, there's a spot waiting to make your moment special.
Before the meeting space highlights - we have to talk about the team building spaces at this venue. The Mount has to have some of the best team building area’s indoor and out we’ve seen in a long time. The Mount’s team building capabilities really make it feel like a playground for professional development.
The Mount partners with top team building companies who can transform your typical work day into something truly memorable – think murder mystery dinners that'll have your colleagues playing detective, or inflatable assault courses that'll test everyone's teamwork and competitive spirit.
The excitement doesn't stop at the hotel's doorstep. Whether your team fancies a serious round of golf or wants to unleash their inner child on the popular dinosaur-themed Adventure Golf, there's something for everyone. As well as the outdoor spaces, the Mount’s plethora of meeting spaces help to provide the perfect backdrop to bring your team closer together and boost those motivation levels!
We got the sense that sustainability is more than just a buzzword at The Mount. The hotel is committed to reducing its environmental footprint with a comprehensive recycling program covering everything from general waste to food and oil. LED bulbs light up the entire property, and they're actively collaborating with Wolverhampton Council to push their sustainability efforts even further.
When it comes to meeting spaces, The Mount's got options – seven of them, to be exact. From intimate private dining rooms perfect for closed client meetings to expansive spaces that can host over 100 people, there's a room for every occasion. Most spaces come equipped with built-in screens, projectors, or Smart TVs, blending modern tech with the hotel's classic charm. These versatile venues can accommodate anywhere from 4 to 180 guests in a theatre-style setup.
The function spaces are strategically laid out: two larger rooms sit conveniently on the ground floor, with smaller rooms upstairs. Need a registration area for a big event? The main rooms in the larger function spaces offer ideal spots for check-in and refreshments, ensuring a smooth start to any gathering.
