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.

Seemed a bit short of staff in the evening when many people were dining. Some areas of the building looked in need of attention as paint peeling and poor draining of shower tray.

From the moment we arrived we instantly appreciated our surroundings. The Manor House is tastefully decorated, clean and very welcoming. The staff were lovely and nothing too much trouble for them. Breakfast was excellent with a good amount of choices. Unfortunately we had only booked in for one night but made the most of the fabulous views and wallowed in the peace and quiet. Absolute heaven. We have made a promise to ourselves to return for a longer stay.

Fishing trip
Lovely experience, been to west bexington a few times but never stayed but now i have i wouldnt stay anywhere else. Lovely staff nice breakfast and a nice comfortable bar to unwind in the evening. As we were there for a fishing trip was ideal for access to the beach and so peaceful at night so a good sleep was great.
