Manor House Hotel Holy Island

Overall was a good one night stay. But £140 for a double room with a bed you could feel the springs and small very dated room and tiny bathroom I feel was overpriced but I guess it’s the area. The friendliness of the staff made up for the disappointment in the room. Good breakfast.

The Manor House is a lovely place for lunch and/or dinner if you're on Lindesfarne. We hadn't been for over a year or so, but the food has improved immensely since then. A special call out for Ashleigh, Sarah and Jess ('The Dream Team') who were so friendly and helpful, and who made us laugh a lot with their 'non-ham' cheese sanwiches while we booked our next holiday. Can't wait to return. Brilliant place.

Stunning location and the sea view room gives you two amazing views; one of the castle and one of the Priory, and stunning sunrises and sunsets, respectively. The room was beautifully appointed and cosy. Staff were extremely friendly & and informative, and I agree with all the previous recent reviews. The cooked breakfast for vegans was hearty and tasty. The loan of the binoculars was much appreciated, enabling sightings of the grey seals. Highly recommended.

Location of this hotel is no doubt the best on the island being right next to the church and priory and with excellent views of the castle and the sea. Great beer garden out the front which was the perfect spot for an afternoon beer and to watch the sunset. Breakfast on the two mornings we were there were very fulfilling and both nights we ate dinner at the hotel and the portion sizes were extremely generous. Richard that organised breakfast for us was extremely friendly and helpful giving us some great tips on what we could do on the island and in the area. if we were ever to return to Holy Island I would definitely return to Manor House and will certainly be recommending to others as well.

On a recent visit to Holy Island we had both a dinner and a lunch at the Manor House Hotel. Super welcome and service from Ashley & Brendan on both occasions. I can thoroughly recommend the mussels in a tomato sauce with proper frites and a toasted ciabata bread and looking at other diners meals, portions were large and feedback good. We hope to be able to stay at the hotel on a future visit as its in perfect location and has a lovely beer garden out front overlooking the castle and harbour in better weather.

Overall a comfortable stay at the Manor House Hotel for three nights. The location is of course absolutely perfect and the views at mealtimes unparalleled. The food was also excellent - especially breakfast - and vegan diets are well catered-for. The staff were generally very friendly and helpful. We were especially impressed by the young girl who seemed to be the only member of staff working during the busy evening meal period on Tuesday night - she did an amazing job at holding the fort alone. The room was comfy, if in need of a little TLC. Unfortunately, we arrived to find that some litter had been left in the dressing table drawer (presumably from a previous occupant) - this included a half-drunk alcoholic beverage. While not very pleasant to encounter when you’ve just arrived and have started unpacking, we do understand that hotels have a busy turnaround period between guests and this was obviously something that had just been missed. What was unacceptable was what followed. We politely mentioned it to a member of staff (young man with a beard) who made no apology but assured us it would be cleaned away. We went out for a walk and came back over an hour and a half later to find nothing had been done. I popped down and encountered the same staff member again, who was this time very abrupt and dismissive in his manner (as if a simple, friendly request from a paying guest was an inconvenience) and said that someone else was coming up. We waited but still no one came, so in the end took it down ourselves. It shouldn’t be up to guests to clean up after the previous room occupant. If this had been dealt with straightaway and an apology offered, we would have given a higher review rating, but the tone of this staff member made us feel unwelcome on our first night - so much so that we chose to eat elsewhere that evening despite having a table booking. Thankfully everyone else was lovely and the rest of our stay was very pleasant.
