Wonderful welcome by Jordan & Jack on arrival. Our food was excellent choosing from the starter selections & Jack certianly knows how to cook. Jordan ensured we knew all details about the bar, room and breakfast and whilst bathrooms maybe need some refurb, everything worked and we had everything we needed and the service we received was the memorable part of our short stay. Shame we ran our of time to walk to the beach but very close. We will return!

Lovely calm setting

Lovely setting in West Bexington. The manor is good value. People are lovely and Jordan is a great asset to the team. Food at venue is good and the Drinks available more than adequate. It’s an old hotel so don’t expect everything to be flash and ultra modern, however the atmosphere is homely and calm. Very dog friendly.

Lovely warm, cosy hotel - v friendly helpful staff. Terrific ladies serving breakfast. The food is fantastic....! One tiny niggle - there were only two ladies staffing the bar/restaurant in the evening. Being busy, this meant we waited for almost an hour for our food - they need more staff pronto. But overall - brilliant!
