This hotel is situated in the idyllic village of West Bexington up from Chesil Beach and a great restaurant (The Club House). It was great value for money. The breakfast was particularly good and the location fantastic.

All you needed for a peaceful overnight stay in a rural Chesil Beach village. Plenty of outside seating and wonderful open views. The Manor House has character in spades. The staff have to do a good job keeping housekeeping, bar and restaurant running smoothly. Our room was small but in keeping with the nature of the building. Restaurant food was excellent although service was pushed given the full capacity generated by a bank holiday weekend with excellent weather.
