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.

Lovely location, old building you have to make allowances for. This is our third visit, however this time there was no hairdryer in room, service was a bit confusing by some members of staff. However Millie was an excellent host.

Comfortable and friendly

We have stayed here before so no real surprises. Still the same lovely view. Staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast on the first day was a bit disappointing as the bacon was dry (kept warm). Second morning was a great improvement. Comfortable room apart from a temporary heating failure , quickly resolved.

Just a quick one night break but we had a great time - our room was large with a lovely sea view and a very comfortable bed. A very short walk to the beach for a stunning sunset. There was an issue with the gas supply so the menu was limited but all the food we had for dinner and breakfast was excellent and the cellar bar with log-burner really cosy (Inches cider on draft). Fresh milk in a fridge on the landing was a great idea for making nice tea! The manager Millie was fantastic dealing with the issues and we are already planning to return later in the year when we can sit out on the garden terrace to enjoy the views!
