Mr & MRS Smith Eckington Manor

From the moment we arrived all members of staff we encountered from reception to the bar to the restaurant were welcoming, friendly and couldn't do enough to help us with anything we asked for. The menu gave us plenty of options to choose from each night and the food was delicious. Our room (in the old dairy) was small but extremely comfortable and welcoming. Thank you Team Eckington, for a wonderful stay. My husband and I hadn't visited before, but will be sure to visit again.

We booked Luxury Room using Tesco Vouchers. Room was gorgeous! Lovely big tv, original features, tea/coffee making facility, topped up during day. Reception is in the new building, restaurant upstairs and small bar downstairs. We ate the 3 course dinner and cooked breakfast, food was delicious! Staff are so friendly, great stay would come again.

Beautiful location and buildings, staff were friendly and welcoming on arrival The room was amazing. We stayed in the converted parlour building, the room was decorated to a very high standard and exceeded our expectations! Arguably the nicest stay we’ve had in the UK. Thank you!

Loved our overnight stay. It’s clear how much pride the staff have in the hotel. They all made our stay a total joy. The room was fabulous also. Will return without a doubt.

There was nothing not to like. The room was big. It had a large, powerful shower. Everywhere was clean. The staff were friendly and welcoming. It was a lovely visit.

We have been there 3 -4 times over a Ten year period so had a good expectation as to the rooms and more especially the food. However, this place is now a shadow of what it once was, The Taster which is why we had a revisit was very disappointing it says 7 courses if you could count a cob slice of cold bread followed by a similar bread with a pate ( sorry Chicken liver Confit) as dish number 2 the main course in this taster was beef served tepid all other dishes are served cold, The 3 course set meal contains at least 1 of the dishes off the Taster menu and portion size is hit and miss, in fact a guest we were sat next to commented that her main dish on the 3 course meal was twice the size of ours, mind you that was Friday and we had the 3 course meal on Saturday. At no time during both meals was there a member of staff available, the only time they appeared was with plates to serve the guests then they went away . Breakfast Saturday was again not up to scratch as no one was there to greet us and take us to a table, we had to go looking for the waitress who was in the kitchen leaning on a worktop having a coffee, when eventually we sat down the breakfast menu was not explained to us, it was another guest sat near by who asked if he could have corn flakes and a fruit juice as well prior to his full English breakfast at that point it had not been suggested to him nor mentioned. Sunday service was marginally better as the breakfast was explained to us.

Lovely setting in traditional buildings with modern decor. Comfy bed, and a peaceful overnight. We had a great dinner and breakfast. Thev staff were both friendly and efficient. A lovely place for our overnight stay. Would be very happy to stay again.

Room was lovely, clean and comfortable. Rainfall shower was refreshing but could do with hand held attachment. Bedding was high quality and quilt was warm. Breakfast was freshly cooked and good quality. We had evening meal on first night which wasn't cheap but was delicious. Staff were friendly and very welcoming.
