The 'Cellar Bar' was quaint if you like cellars and being served short measures. I had a pint of Guiness and when it came I asked if it could be topped up as when it had settled it was 4/5ths full. The arrogant waiter refused...which in this case was illegal. Guiness is my preffered drink so I'm used to how it's served. Won't be returning.

We have stayed twice now at the Manor House Hotel, and each time we have stayed we have both loved its quiet ambience and atmosphere. Whether its because it is a 15th century building, it has a wonderful peaceful feel to it. The bedroom we had was large, spacious and elegantly furnished. The staff were welcoming and helpful and the meals tasty and well presented. I love this place and hope to return again at some point.

We liked the style of the property, its situation with lovely garden area and view of the ocean. The facilities in the property were excellent with clean rooms serviced every day and very friendly staff. Perhaps people who were serious walkers could be given an area to use for the storage of boots. Also, the lounge area could be furnished better to cater for people having to avoid poor weather. People should also be made aware of the difficulty of walking on the shingle beach and the dangers of the steeply sloping fall to the sea,

The staff were lovely and breakfast very good. Even the beans were hot. However the door as you go in to your room is shabby looking, as was the skirting boards. Carpet was stained and paint on the lights. It just needs some TLC. Such a pity when it has everything else. I think when it is classed as a manor you expect a bit better. Saying all that the staff were lovely and the area beautiful.

This was our 4th stay at the Manor House over the years. Loctaion still brilliant though terrace & lawns rather spoiled by the pub-style tables that have now been dumped all over the place. I’d say it’s now more of a pub with rooms rather than a destination. Yes they’re well geared up for weddings and stuff but not for the discerning Dorset traveller. Food and decor all a bit tired. Overall, disappointed. There are now many better places to consider.

“Bridal suite” ?
We asked for the best room when booking and were allocated the “bridal suite” . Sadly it was in desperate need of a refurbishment. Paint peeling and carpet moth - with moths active at night. More of a “divorce suite” . We were moved to the top floor for our second night. Smaller but clean and ecorated with good carpets. Service was good. Food good and location good. Just needs the main bedrooms upgrading
