Really great stay for my mums 80th. Fab house with plenty of room for 6 adults, 3 children and a dog. Clean with great facilities and lovely little touches.

The Old Manor House was brilliant for a family weekend together, with a perfect location for wintry beach walks and many attractions within a short drive. The house was spacious and thoughtfully appointed with everything you need, including dog towels and treats for the four legged friends. Everything was clean and pretty. Enough room for relaxing and socialising with 10 adults and a baby. The bar in the living room was a fun feature, and the enclosed garden was great for the dogs. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with everything we needed to cook a dinner party. We appreciated nice touches like the heating being on when we arrived, and a gift basket of local goodies. Check in and out were contactless and easy. We would definitely visit again.
