10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful welcome by Jordan & Jack on arrival. Our food was excellent choosing from the starter selections & Jack certianly knows how to cook. Jordan ensured we knew all details about the bar, room and breakfast and whilst bathrooms maybe need some refurb, everything worked and we had everything we needed and the service we received was the memorable part of our short stay. Shame we ran our of time to walk to the beach but very close. We will return!

6/10 Good

Stay was ok but bathroom very poor needs new and replacing food was good excellent staff very good but hotel need’s badly updating
Mr Leslie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely calm setting

Lovely setting in West Bexington. The manor is good value. People are lovely and Jordan is a great asset to the team. Food at venue is good and the Drinks available more than adequate. It’s an old hotel so don’t expect everything to be flash and ultra modern, however the atmosphere is homely and calm. Very dog friendly.
Peter, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Unique hotel with beautiful grounds Not at all snobby Food and drink good The views are fabulous Cant wait to visit again
Barbara, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Really lovely staff and a great bar downstairs. Only complaint (hence 4 stars). We were up in a top floor room and it was so insanely hot. We turned off the radiators and opened the window but the minute you stepped into the corridor you were sweating again. We enjoyed the bar quiz, but not the drunks outside in the beer garden at 1am! Meals were fab, good selection of beers. Beautiful decor.
Clare, 1-night trip

Firstly, I must say the staff are lovely
Peter, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
Daniel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The Manor House is in a lovely location with good walks around. The food is good and the staff friendly, but the house itself is very run down and the rooms need a complete makeover a they are something akin to a 1960’s B and B. We had the impression that it was being run on a very tight budget.
Linda, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely warm, cosy hotel - v friendly helpful staff. Terrific ladies serving breakfast. The food is fantastic....! One tiny niggle - there were only two ladies staffing the bar/restaurant in the evening. Being busy, this meant we waited for almost an hour for our food - they need more staff pronto. But overall - brilliant!
Views from the windows.......
