Looks correct to me, this is what I found,
manningtravel.co.uk. IN A 195.69.92.162
Unless you are relaying mail through your ISP the ISP info is
irrelevant.

I only found one,
manningtravel.co.uk. IN MX 10 mail.manningtravel.co.uk.

I think you meant TXT record.

If your information is correct either one will work but "v=spf1
ip4:195.69.92.162 -all" is the better of the two since there is no
need to resolve/lookup the IP address of the 'a' or 'mx' record.
Just as a precaution, you should initially set up your record ending
with '~all' while you test it and then change it to '-all' when you
are sure you have it set up correctly.

Typically any hosts or domains that have an 'A' record should have SPF
policy. If they don't send mail then "v=spf1 -all" would be the
correct policy to use.
