Manor House Inn

Everything about my stay was perfect. Friendly, easy parking, excellent food, very comfortable room. I would definitely go back and hope to have a reason to in the future. I was pleasantly surprised when I was upgraded to a more luxurious room.

I stayed for three nights. From the moment I arrived, everyone was really friendly and relaxed. Comfortable bed and a well-appointed bathroom. Good atmosphere in the bar. The dinners were very good indeed. Particularly good were the red mullet, lamb breast. The wine list was well-chosen. The staff were knowledgeable. Everything great!

(This review is being written in August 2023 before a planned change of ownership.) We booked here as somewhere to stay while we attended a large Christian gathering at the nearby showground. I work with children aged 8-11 twice a day and need somewhere quiet to rest during the day. I also have a medical condition that meant camping or caravaning would be challenging. This Inn met all our requirements, quiet, nicely fitted and close to the site. The Manor House Inn exceeded our requirements. It certainly is quiet, off any main road, and with owners that appreciate guests don't want lots of noise and "stuff" going on. The drive to the event site is easy and close enough to allow me to come back and rest during the day. They also cleaned the room, when requested, at times that did not conflict with this rest time. Breakfast was also very good with a wide choice of main options and not simply a full English or just elements of that. We tried a number of the options, all of which were much enjoyed. The bar is well stocked and includes alcohol-free options as well as the nectar of the gods (still ciders). The rooms are comfortable, and while a little tired in places, nothing detracted from our stay. The shower in our room was a walk-in with a wide, gentle "rain" type head. I can't use higher pressure types as they can cause me pain. It was so lovely to return and enter our private, warm rain shower. The staff were excellent, and a special call out to Kayleigh, with whom we had the most interactions. She was always friendly and courteous and answered all our questions. We have booked in for the same days next year and hope the new owners don't change too many things. Especially look after the staff you have. I have no hesitation in recommending the Manor House Inn for bed and breakfast and the bar. We did not try other meals as they were provided for us at the festival, but the menu looked good. That said, it is not the sort of place to come if you want lots going on. It is a quiet inn in a quiet village.
