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

10/10 Exceptional

We have stayed twice now at the Manor House Hotel, and each time we have stayed we have both loved its quiet ambience and atmosphere. Whether its because it is a 15th century building, it has a wonderful peaceful feel to it. The bedroom we had was large, spacious and elegantly furnished. The staff were welcoming and helpful and the meals tasty and well presented. I love this place and hope to return again at some point.

We liked the style of the property, its situation with lovely garden area and view of the ocean. The facilities in the property were excellent with clean rooms serviced every day and very friendly staff. Perhaps people who were serious walkers could be given an area to use for the storage of boots. Also, the lounge area could be furnished better to cater for people having to avoid poor weather. People should also be made aware of the difficulty of walking on the shingle beach and the dangers of the steeply sloping fall to the sea,

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.
