The Manor House

Location, views, outside space, proximity to beach, Abbotsbury village, food and not too far from London.

It was very homely and friendly

Amazing views. Tasty food. Laid-back vibe. Close to beach.

Good selection of breakfast dishes

Lucas and other staff couldn't have been more welcoming & friendly.
Great location near Chesil beach.
Facilities like bar, restaurant with great food.
Room basic but had everything we needed & good value.

We booked this for the Valentines weekend, excellent deal on Travelzoo. Fantastic location, the outside terraces must be wonderful in the summer, great sea views. We had the Bridal Suite! Just a lucky allocation. Rooms 1,2 and 3 have the best sea views. Lovely big room and a huge bed. Nice and clean and lovely and warm. You could hear the sea when it was rough on Sunday. Very pleasant staff, Lucas, stand in manager, was exceptional and very welcoming. He was very under staffed but they were all great. Breakfast had a good choice and everything was freshly cooked, perfect poached eggs. We had the Valentines menu on the Saturday night and it was delicious.
We sat in the bar later it was very cosy, if we lived closer it would be a regular haunt. Great base if you like walking/hiking.
Thanks Lucas for telling me about Spotify radio! It’s been a great find.
Would happily go again.

We had a lovely stay at the fabulously located Msnor House. The comfort and the food was excellent. It appeared that the hotel was very under staffed which would have been a major problem if it had not been for the superb efforts of Lucas and his couple of colleagues. They went above and beyond to provide a personal and good level of service. We would certainly visit again.
Thanks Lucas

Greeted and made to feel welcome. Although we were early. We had soup for lunch whilst we were waiting. Evening dinner menu a bit limited, what we had was good, although a little pricey, served in the cellar bar. The hotel itself is in need of a bit TLC. Good position for walking on Chesil beach. An excellent venue in the summer as there is plenty of outside seating.

Lovely location. Easy parking. Comfortable room. Friendly staff. Good food and drinks.

The Manor has a lovely Conservatory which you can eat in so yo are able to enjoy the countryside views. Not much atmosphere as it was very quiet but to be expected. All areas seemed clean. Service was prompt. The barman had a quirky sense of humour!! The four of us had the Sunday Road. Personally, I had the Roast Beef, tender meat but the whole meal could have been hotter. Another of us had the Pork Belly some of which was very tough. However, we all enjoyed our meal and would not hesitate to visit again.

The location is stunning , atmosphere very welcoming. Front of house / chef was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food. Fantastic Sunday roast. Great wine selection. Would definitely return to taste more fabulous food on the menu !

Excellent welcome by the staff team. The team worked hard throughout our stay to ensure we had a great break. The hotel is brilliantly located a short walk to the beach and great sea views from a number of the rooms. The food was tasty and plentiful and the rooms were comfortable.

Fabulous position, a warm welcome & we even got shown to our room. The room was huge with a large comfortable bed & lovely views towards the sea. The hotel had that individual & old fashioned charm & didn’t feel like.a chain. Food in the bar that eve was excellent with a cosy atmosphere. Breakfast in the dining room was also excellent & you didn’t even have to make your own toast. We really enjoyed our time here & would highly recommend.

Great location close to the beach. Hotel room was spacious but spoiled by the heating being intermittent (to be fair we did not raise it as a concern at the time) and the carpets were very stained. Tea and coffee facilities in the room but you had to walk down the corridor to get the milk. The staff were excellent. In particular Jordan who checked us in and hosted the quiz. And the two gentleman serving breakfast. The food was excellent. They have a large terrace which in the summer would be so nice to have a drink or dine outside but being winter we skipped that! I think some tlc is needed for the rooms and carpets replaced in the corridors. Overall service and food was excellent and we enjoyed our stay.

Service in the restaurant was poor and had to wait for our table though the restaurant wasn’t busy and walk in customers sat in the bar and were able to order straight away. We then had to wait 45-60 minutes for two simple starters seeing walk in customers finishing their mains. No apologies were given and there was lipstick found on the glass of one of the drinks. After leaving the next day I noticed we’d had unauthorised charges made for drinks we didn’t have and over a week later I’m still waiting for a refund and again little apology given.

delightful hotel with friendly helpful staff, will definitely consider returning. Ate in the restaurant which was lovely with good food and wine to match

Lovely roast with all the trimmings together with great service and a lovely location and view. Will definitely return
