Justin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

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.

wayne, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The Manor House is in a lovely location with good walks around. The food is good and the staff friendly, but the house itself is very run down and the rooms need a complete makeover a they are something akin to a 1960’s B and B. We had the impression that it was being run on a very tight budget.
Linda, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is overall a nice hotel, but the upstairs rooms are tiny, and the ceiling is very low. Don't book if you are at all claustrophobic!

10/10 Exceptional

If you want a break away from the hustle this is the perfect tonic. Staff could not be more friendly or accommodating. An idyllic setting, walk down to the pebble beach or use this as a base to drive to the nearby places and come back and enjoy the wonderful food/drinks in the spacious gardens. Thank you!

This hotel is situated in the idyllic village of West Bexington up from Chesil Beach and a great restaurant (The Club House). It was great value for money. The breakfast was particularly good and the location fantastic.
