Trimstone Manor Country House Cottages

I booked one of the self catering cottages on site due to the ‘superb’ rating and 10 out of 10 for cleanliness. On arriving it’s impossible to see how either of these were justified. The whole complex is rundown, shabby and dated. The furniture in our cottage was ancient, the dining table sticky despite repeatedly being wiped over, the oven was disgusting, the kitchen tap leaked profusely and the pans and crockery woefully inadequate. I had to buy a new saucepan and baking trays to cook the one evening meal we had there. The whole experience was disappointing and sadly like the before rather than the after in a renovation show. It needs a serious makeover.

Trimstone Manor is an absolutely delightful hotel for a getaway. The staff are very friendly, the grounds are beautiful and peaceful, and the rooms are comfortable. It’s nicely located near the sea where the waves are great for surfing! I had the pleasure of meeting the owners who are very welcoming and lovely people. Also, when I lost a valuable item, the hotel went out of their way to help reunite me with it! Amazing place to stay all round and I would highly recommend.

We spent the weekend at Trimstone Manor for our friend’s hen do and we could not have asked for a better host than Rhianne! She was absolutely incredible- attending to our every need from accommodating us with our sporadic check-in times to cooking up a massive breakfast before our activities! She great and we could not have asked for a better host!
