Rectory Manor

Spacious and private - quiet & easy off road car parking. Weather was lovely for the swimming pool. Doors in bedroom didn't close properly in some instances but that's a minor point.

RUDE. AND POMPOUS MANAGEMENT If I could give the owners/management a ZERO rating for customer service and care I would. They deserve a ten for pomposity and being stuck up. I called to ask about a concerning email I had received from the hotel - an issue they have where it seems that despite giving the hotel your credit card details to guarantee payment, months ahead of time, what they don’t tell you, is that they are in fact, unable to validate most cards due to security issues. You cannot therefore pay on arrival! This was never mentioned when I booked, and the email and phone call implied that I was going to do a runner and not show up. It demanded immediate payment, when we had agreed for me to pay on arrival, with the card guaranteeing the booking. Concerned that this was a scam I called with concern, as I wasn’t able to access my laptop, being packed up to travel elsewhere that day. I could barely get a word in to explain my concerns about the booking because my head was bitten off, and Frank spoke to me for several minutes as if I was an infant. Never, in decades of travelling, have I been spoken to in the manner that Frank spoke to me several days ahead of what was supposed to be a 4 night stay, which we had reserved months in advance. Rude does not begin to describe his off hand manner and how he spoke down to me. Who needs this when you are working or going on holiday? AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Delightful country house set in matire immaculately groomed grounds. Very comfortable and friendly a welcome change fromm sterile corporate establishments. Own transport is a must as it is in a fairly secluded location, there are many places of historical interest within easy reach. Very comfortable and peaceful ambience immaculately kept, apart from excellent breakfast no catering facilities. Honesty bar and room kettles and mini bars nice touch. Most, or all, reasonable requests met e.g. we were provided with a pot of tea in the luxurious lounge/drawing room, añthough strictly not a offered service.

Amazing property and great hosts. We were greeted by a young lad called Saxon while the owner was fixing the ornate brass door bell. The gorgeous dogs and surroundings are a big plus. Many thanks

Perfect stay. Beautiful setting and delightful accommodation. Excellent service. Friendly without being intrusive. Would certainly recommend.

A little night away with my partner , lovely hotel and grounds , we stayed in the blue room which they call the stables it’s separate from the main hotel . Lovely room all that you need is provided in the room . They don’t provide dinner but on their website you can find restaurants that are close by to book also breakfast is not included in with the room however you can purchase breakfast if you wish too . Overall a lovely little hotel with very friendly staff that make you feel very welcome..
