"hotel was superb as was the jacuzzi bath. food was very good but as with all hotels approx 10 % dearer than the local pubs"

"Stayed here previously and as usually adds to the reason why we good away for a few days. Attentative staff, luxury rooms, great breakfast and all the little extras that make you feel special but still at home."

"Fantastic hotel, great service and food. "

"Excellant communication prior to stay. Comfortable room with ensuite, tea, coffee and water supplies. Additional use of fan over night was good. Good breakfast."

"2 night stay whilst visiting Sherborne. Decent sized en-suite room next to the pub. No pub or road noise. Lovely evening meal and great breakfast. Friendly and welcoming hosts. Would highly recommend. "

"This was our second stay in this beautiful old manor house situated peacefully within a few minutes walking distance of West Bexington Beach. Once again we had a wonderful stay. The food was very good. There is an excellent choice for breakfast, all of which was nicely cooked and presented. We also ate in the restaurant which was very good with a varied menu choice. The bedrooms are a little tired in places but this in no way reflects the cleanliness of the room nor comfort of the mattress, duvet, pillows and linen. We had a sea view room which was just beautiful. Our room and the hotel in general is so very peaceful. The grounds are exceptional with sea views and horses and sheep in the surrounding fields. We sat watching foxes and rabbits playing whilst drinking a G&T, just perfect. The hotel is within a short driving distance of Abbotsbury and its attractions and also Lyme Regis etc is about a 30 minute drive away. We will return one day for another peaceful and relaxing stay. The Manor House is very special. "

"The hotel you’ll be sorry to leave …."

"Apart from noisy creaking floorboards and thin walls, no complaints."
