The Manor at Abberley

A good refresh needed. The place is a bit rundown. It needs a fresh coat of paint and the carpets all need replacing they are disgusting.

Fantastic gem of a find in a beautiful small village. Staff very friendly and attentive

Perfect Stay! Beautiful room, very clean and had everything you could need. Really helpful and friendly staff throughout our stay. Lovely, quiet location and the most delicious food!

Wonderful across the board! A wonderful stay, albeit only one night, that was everything we were hoping for and more. From the warm welcome to the large comfortable room, it really was fantastic. We ended up staying for dinner (nowhere else local as far as we could see) but we're so glad we did. As a family we have dietary needs (I'm vegetarian and my wife is gluten-intolerant) but they were more than happy to help and accommodate. I had the Sweet Potato Gnocchi (it was a 'special') and it was arguably one of the best meals I've ever had. Absolutely beautiful. If we ever need to stay in the area again, I won't hesitate to book again.

Mixed feelings. On first impressions, The Manor is a beautiful building in a quaint village that promises peace and tranquillity. The bedroom was charmingly decorated and cosy, the bathroom was oddly oversized, with hanging space hidden at the far end, I’m all for quirky, but not at the expense of practicality. Unfortunately, the loud thrum and vibrations of extractor fans made it unbearable, like I was lodged in the bowels of some industrial machine. The Velux window lacked sound insulation, meaning cars and conversations in the car-park were also loud in the room. The kitchen closing provided relief, but other machinery hummed on, earplugs couldn’t fully block out. As I write this at 10 pm, the noise continues to ruin any chance of an early night, on the second evening, the neighbouring rooms plumbing decided to join the din. To their credit, the pub itself is tastefully decorated, and the food is excellent, unfortunately, this did not offset two nights of poor sleep. Breakfast had good choices ordered from the menu, but no sign of cereal, fruit, or toast, a surprising omission I’m accustomed to as a frequent traveller. In summary, while The Manor looks the part, the lack of soundproofing and the relentless noise make it impossible to recommend for a peaceful stay. It’s a real shame, as there’s potential here, but a good night’s sleep should be non-negotiable.

We booked to stay one night for our anniversary down from the north on the day of the first snow in November! Still our day was delightful, the hotel is based in a picturesque village overlooking open countryside. The view was even more idillic with the covering of snow. Our hostess was very welcoming and very helpful all through our stay. The food was superb, we would have loved to stay longer but we had other commitments. We both thoroughly recommend The Manor at Abberley.
