Could be better
The Manor was clean and staff were friendly however our experience was let down by lack of staff, service and room was small and not value for money.

Beautiful sea views
Beautiful sea view and the room was perfect. Atmosphere was great. We had diner and the food was really good although the portion on lamb dish was on the small side. Good selection of drinks. Great outside seating. We took the dog and we were able to let him off the lead as the grounds were big enough for him to have a run around. Very peacful and a short walk to the beach. Breakfast was amazing will be staying again

8/10 Very good

The staff were lovely and breakfast very good. Even the beans were hot. However the door as you go in to your room is shabby looking, as was the skirting boards. Carpet was stained and paint on the lights. It just needs some TLC. Such a pity when it has everything else. I think when it is classed as a manor you expect a bit better. Saying all that the staff were lovely and the area beautiful.

Nothing is too much for you as a guest. Millie and Matthew run a very tight ship and it genuinely makes a difference. Don’t hesitate to book.

6/10 Good

This was our 4th stay at the Manor House over the years. Loctaion still brilliant though terrace & lawns rather spoiled by the pub-style tables that have now been dumped all over the place. I’d say it’s now more of a pub with rooms rather than a destination. Yes they’re well geared up for weddings and stuff but not for the discerning Dorset traveller. Food and decor all a bit tired. Overall, disappointed. There are now many better places to consider.
