What a lovely hotel in excellent settings.
Staff were super friendly and loved our doys.
Great food for evening meals and breakfast all cooked to order.
Can't believe it is only ranked as a 3 star as deserves so much more.

Room was spotless and cleaned every day. Every member of staff we encountered was friendly and professional. The building itself was absolutely stunning with bags of character. The spa was simple but clean and beautifully kept with fantastic staff who put us at ease while we were there. I was particularly impressed with the lovely changing area. We hope to make another visit in the near future
Very clean but slightly tired room.
All staff excellent. Great cooked to order breakfast as well as great lunch and great dinner - you can tell that quality ingredients are used and prepared/cooked by competent chef and team. Bar adequately stocked and reasonable prices for hotel.
Overall good value stay and very dog friendly.
Comfortable room, with nice large bath. Good parking area, helpful staff, bar and evening meal options not used. Would recommend to others and reuse myself.
Enjoyable stay at the Manor House Hotel while visiting Croft Circuit recently. Friendly welcome, easy parking. Spacious room with an excellent bathroom. A small hiccup over the bill at checkout was quickly rectified. Highly recommended.
Lovely place. Great staff. Good food. Wifi was good, room and shower were spot on.. but the mattresses in room 16 were terrible. Collapsed in the middle, 1 was stained, 1 had a rip in it - Not what you'd expect from a newly refurbished hotel
Very comfortable. Staff wonderful. Very good food. The creaky stairs were unusual

The hotel felt very homely, with a warm informal reception. It’s quite huge inside with many corridors creating a feeling of discovery.
I have to give a special call out to the restaurant. Great menu and my choice was exceptional in every way. Service & food brilliant.
Our room was the Thomas More suite; happily we escaped with heads intact!! Cavernous room with sufficient sockets. Didn’t really trust the old plumbing so avoided the shower.
Would be in our shortlist should we stay in the area again.
Will definitely
The spa was great. As a guest it cost 20 pounds per person and had a great pool, steam room, sauna and gym. Other services available at an additional cost.
It’s a brilliantly run hotel. The staff are genuinely invested in the business and its customers. They care that you’re having a lovely time and go above and beyond to make sure you do. Such a stark difference from the large chain hotels I usually stay in for work.
