    Carpets are showing their age but really still in keeping with the era.

    The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and a lot of fun to talk to. The meals were some of the best I’ve ever had.

    As above - no lift

    Very peaceful location in lush grounds. All food excellent and the restaurant fully deserves its star rating. Hotel beautifully appointed. Several rooms are on second floor up steep steps - and no lift. Comes with the territory of the hotel being a quirky Victorian villa

    Although tea and coffee facilities were available I didn't see any caffeine free/herbal teas available in the room. The breakfast didn't start until 8am which was a bit too late for me as I had to get away for a meeting.

    Beautiful location and rally helpful and friendly staff. The room was clean and comfortable. The ensuite seemed like it had been fairly recently refreshed and was very good.

    There was a car charging socket in the car park but the charge was outrageous to charge a hybrid car. Staff/manager didn’t seem bothered to consider £3 cost to charge a hybrid car and only offered a standard £25 charge. Indifferent receptionist upon departure didn’t ask if we enjoyed our stay.

    The room and view were very nice. The breakfast was exceptional and value for money with very friendly waitresses. Lovely quiet and scenic location.

    Overall we had a great time there, but it’s a bit overpriced.

    Only few things I would like to mention here. The pillows were bad quality not up to standard, uncomfortable to sleep on and that is quite important when staying at the place like this. I think the decoration could have been a bit more stylish and also the bathroom was very modern, but didn’t really match the room. Some staff were polite but not very friendly to start with. Over time that changed a bit.

    The manor situated in a lovely area with beautiful sea views. We stayed in a room, that had a private entrance with a private terrace and a jacuzzi hot tub. The room was spacious,clean and comfortable with a large bathroom. I loved the bed. The food we had in the restaurant was excellent and worth every penny. Staff were great most of the time.

    Beautiful quaint country manor house with lovely sea views!

    The only issue I had was the wifi in our room, which was right at the top of the manor house, room 12, was very weak. Not strong enough to watch a film in bed when we retired to the room.

    Check in was smooth and our room was beautiful. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. I love the older listed type buildings and this did not disappoint. Beautiful sea view from the terrace and I was in owe at the decor & furniture! Breakfast set up was plentiful. Choice of Cooked or continental. Everything you could want. Our bed was so comfortable and there was no noise at all, we even had the windows open!

    We felt that more could be done to encourage restaurant staff towards more engagement with residents. We sometimes felt our existence was ignored. A little more acknowledgement with some smiling eye contact would have assured us that despite being busy, we were not forgotten!

    Beautiful secluded spot in this country house hotel, with lovely gardens and very good food for both dinner and breakfast. Clean and comfortable, though not exceptional, still a very good hotel.
