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.

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!
