Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Horrible experience. We booked this and paid online in-advance but when arrived there they said they don’t have a room for us. And they said they have arranged a room for us in a different hotel and sent us there. That other hotel was basically a shady guest house. But they also didn’t have a room when we got there and the owner asked us to get into his car and he has a “room” for us somewhere else which he is offering as a favor. Naturally we said no thank you and the guy became rude to us. So we came back to manor house. Then they arranged another hotel for us where we stayed for one night (because we didn’t really have any other option at that time of the night). And that hotel turned out to be pretty bad as well. They had termites and insects in the room and the dining area. Bedsheets has cigarette burns. Horrible experience overall.

Nice peaceful quiet property. The staff were always cheerful and are happy to answer any questions. The property itself has a rustic charm and the grounds are vast.
