Building itself is exquisite, felt special staying in such a place, check in was very easy and gent helped with automatically with my case - however, breakfast was chaotic, the two people serving and taking orders was dire, no communication between them and some of the orders were coming out incorrect, i waited for quite a while until i was served, the female server actually contradicted the guest seated next to me as to what she had actually ordered! Very special place let down by breakfast service. Great shame.

Property built in 16th century, has alot of character and uniqueness. Short walk to beach, excellent staff, onsite food adventures, near top attractions like Charmouth fossil beach. Slight peeling of ceiling paint, did not deter us, really enjoyed property and met new friends from UK.

Peaceful location

Nice little place to stay in a great location that was quiet and only 5 minute walk to the beach. For me and my partner it was a good one night stay. They are also pet friendly which is a bonus as I find it hard to find dog friendly places and the staff are friendly and polite. Cons: I found the food to be quite expensive and the inner doors that lead you up to the rooms bang every time someone opens the door which can disturb others in their room. The food service could have been better. For example, the young lady asked us if we wanted any water for the table and she never came back. Me and my partner decided to have the roast dinner and it tasted great, the only thing was we were missing the stuffing. At breakfast the next morning we decided to have the full English breakfast and it was supposed to come with toast. I wasn’t fussed about the toast but my partner had to ask for it but it should have been served straight away with the rest of the breakfast. I was left a bit disappointed when I asked for a croissant and was told there wasn’t any left. It would be great from a customers point of view that the hotel made sure there was enough for at least one per person. Other than that me and my partner and the dog enjoyed our stay and I would go back again.

Fishing trip

Lovely experience, been to west bexington a few times but never stayed but now i have i wouldnt stay anywhere else. Lovely staff nice breakfast and a nice comfortable bar to unwind in the evening. As we were there for a fishing trip was ideal for access to the beach and so peaceful at night so a good sleep was great.

Great stay at Manor House

We had a great 2 night stay and were made welcome. Beautiful views. Great location as it is quiet. Food was very good. We ate an evening meal and also breakfast. Lots of choices. The room walls must be quite thin as could here a TV in another room through the bathroom but was not a problem as it was early evening. The bathroom had a small step up to it and was a great shower. We stayed in April and the rooms were cosy and warm.

Grest place to stay

We were celebrating our Ruby anniversary. The hotel was lovely and we were greeted warmly. The room was spot on and we opted for one with a sea view. The room was large with a very comfy bed. The bathroom had a very big shower which was nice. The towels were lovely and soft. The food was excellent. We had a meal in the conservatory in the evening. Breakfast was also good with plenty of choice. We would stay there again.
