The sports facilities at the Manor house are great with so much to choose from and the crafts they offer to are also great. We arrived to a warm welcome at reception and were given our keys and an explination how to get to our accommodation. We were down by the 4 x 4 tennis hall above the courts. This... More

Advertised as a sports and crafts hotel and that is what it is. Unusual and very spread out, easy to see why the AA give it two stars. Fine for family or sporting group holidays not so good for a casual stay. There were many of the craft sign ups which did not seem to be operating when we were... More

This was our third time at The Manor and we were not disappointed. The best thing about it is that you really don't mind what the weather is doing - all the activities are under cover and they are all included in the price. There are so many things to choose from, you don't have time to be bored. There... More

We discovered on arrival that the activities we wanted to do were not available during the duration of our short stay despite what was... More

Dear Mrs English I have read your post above with much interest and I am disappointed that after discussing the points above with you personally at great length, you have felt compelled to write what I believe to be a rather unfair statement of facts – perhaps it is because we have not refunded your deposit despite your threats of...

Stayed here for 3 nights before Easter, two families including 2 teenagers and two 11 year olds. We had a fantastic time, and were kept busy from the minute we arrived till minute we left. Have previously stayed at the Ashbury, but the Manor was more suitable for the kids, as there were more kids around and activities aimed at... More
