The check process was very stressed. We knew were early and just wanted to walk the grounds and had no expectation of a room being available however my wife felt she was dealt with in a very rude manner. Also that is our 7th night staying and still have yet to see Michael Caines. This is disappointing as we love the relationship building with our favoured establishments.

The food was superb both in the evening and for breakfast. The young man working the bar was great fun and determined to provide the best Bloody Mary cocktail he could. He even followed up after our meal to give me an example of sake and yuzu to make a better textured drink. Always thinking, I love that. The temp sommelier with lovely designer round glasses was a delight all evening and even came to see us as we checked out. Daniele Lanciano works so hard and is a great example of a top notch manager. The head chef Jordan Denning was great when we were shown around the kitchen and pass and gave us time even though they were busy.

There wasn’t anything I didn’t like.

Lympstone Manor Hotel is set in the most beautiful peaceful & tranquil location, the estuary that surrounds it is stunning. The staff are friendly and kind and always at hand if you needed anything seen to. Our room had incredible views across the estuary and the beautiful well kept gardens. The king size bed was so comfortable, the best I have ever slept in. We had a fabulous evening entertainment with the Shanty Men, in the pool house restaurant, along with an impeccable fish dinner and excellent wine pairing with each course. I had the great pleasure of also meeting Michael Caines, Michelin chef who is such a kind and lovely man. Lympstone Manor offers luxury, a place where you can enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds it, a place to celebrate a special occasion. I can’t wait to return.

On the 2nd day we went to the Pool House. Unfortunately this was not so good. The fillet beef was well done and after complaining the second service with the fillet beef was rare or not cooked. Too bad for the meat

Simply beautiful location and easy to reach. 1st day with Michael Caine's menu was more then great. Simply fantastic and the staff were also very attentive.

There was nothing not to love.

What an experience! Though we stayed only two nights, we both felt as though we had been there for weeks, such is the slow pace and relaxing atmosphere at Lympstone Manor. The food (we experienced Michael's signature tasting menu, a champagne afternoon tea and the included breakfast) was every bit the wizardry that you would expect from having such a respected and commended figure at the helm. The staff could truly not do enough for you in every instance. The rooms were the ultimate in luxury; the beds extremely comfortable and we LOVED the underfloor heating in the bathroom. Another highlight was the new pool and pool-house. I thoroughly enjoyed my nice warm swim on a beautiful February day. As a final added bonus we had a lovely chat with Michael who was so lovely. Both of us feel so calm and relaxed as a result of our short stay and can't wait to return!

There is nothing to reference Michael Caines (other than the exquisite food of course) so it does feel a little corporate… A minor niggle but having stayed at many wonderful hotels around the world, this felt less like an English Country house hotel than perhaps it could? It lacked those little touches you find at a Polizzi hotel or The Newt or The Goring. Sparkling clean. Warm. Welcoming. Just a wee bit bland… You did ask!

Exceptional service from everyone.

Lympstone Manor is a stunning place to stay for a special occasion or maybe just a treat! Beautiful decor, friendly staff, comfortable rooms, brilliant service and the food is absolutely delicious.

The house is very tastefully decorated, it’s not fussy or minimalist but perfectly welcoming. The views were stunning from the house and our balcony. The staff were extremely friendly from the front of house to the waiting team. We were made to feel very welcome by everyone we met. Johanna went out of her way to make us feel at home and was really hard working taking on a number of roles to make our stay comfortable. The 7 course tasting menu was delicious and the female Sommelier gave us some great advice on a wine. Our room was an upgrade for our anniversary which was much appreciated and we’re looking forward to coming back to discover more of the rooms.

The staff were delightful. Everyone from the receptionist to the waiting staff in both the restaurant and the pool house were very friendly. Some other high end establishments can be a bit “stuffy” but we were made to feel very welcome and at ease. The food of course was sublime and the views over the estuary enhanced the feeling of relaxation. Can’t wait to return

When booking it was unclear what rooms were allowed dogs and the shepards huts were not detailed this I feel is a misted opportunity

The setting for Lympstone Manor was simply divine and the views were absolutely beautiful. Lympstone Manor caters for all including pets and food allergies they literally could not do more for us. The shepards huts are simply amazing and we're very cosy again with views across the vines up to the Manor.

The double room was a little smaller than anticipated / for the price.

The grounds are absolutely exceptional, and the staff wonderful.

Stayed in June 2023

The Shepherd's hut is great for a family with small children but not suitable for 3 adults really. Although we very much loved our stay here!

The hotel is lovely, as are the grounds and the pool area. The food was wonderful too. A spa would be nice and that would draw us back during the winter months! The staff are all friendly and very accommodating. A lovely hotel to visit and stay at. We highly recommend it.
