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!

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.

Eve

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The food was amazing. My husband had the seafood linguini - one of the best he has ever eaten and I settled for the sausage and mash. We loved the breakfast which plentiful with freshly cooked, hot food which was beautifully presented. Everywhere was immaculately clean and the staff were pleasant and attentive. The gardens are obviously looked after and there were some lovely blooms, even at this time of year. The room was disappointing - we up graded to a room with a sea view and an enormous bed. Money needs to be spent - the bedding was 'bobbly' from age, paint was peeling off much of the woodwork, the bathroom tiles were ridged in black, the carpet was stained. The furniture was wooden and was lovely. With so many five star aspects, it is a shame that the bedrooms are so much in need of renovation.

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!

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.
