Perfect wedding day

I cannot thank Lyndsey and Steve enough for facilitating our perfect wedding day in September! We had exclusive use of The Manor House for the weekend and everything was PERFECT!

We had 120 guests in a marquee for our wedding reception and 170 total in the evening. The marquee attaches to the side of the venue so you have easy access between the two. Throughout the whole process nothing was too much trouble for the team. All our questions and pre meetings were facilitated perfectly.

The food on the day... WOW, all our guests were so impressed with the canapes, wedding breakfast and evening food!

The accommodation was also perfect for all our guests who were staying, yummy breakfasts on both mornings.

The location, we were so lucky to have a beautiful sunny day, seeing the sea from our wedding breakfast and drinks reception was spectacular.

If you want a quick bite, few nights accommodation or to plan your dream wedding I would 100% recommend The Manor House, Thank you Lyndsey and Steve for everything you did for us it was a very special day which we will cherish forever.

Very disappointed

After doing allot of research of wedding venues in the area, we quickly fell in love with the Manor. We went for a viewing in early December 2023 and provisionally booked a date for spring 2025.

The communication from the venue has been nothing but shocking. We gave them the benefit of the doubt over Christmas due to it being a busy period, but getting any information was immensely difficult. Multiple emails and phone calls later we were left upset and frustrated, all we wanted to do was pay them a deposit!! At this point we decided to look elsewhere. The communication we received from every other venue has been a completely different experience and just showed us how poor this was. All the reviews for the manor have been really positive, which just leaves me wondering what happened?!

Weddings are very personal and very expensive and this experience was not enjoyable and stressful, to think that this was meant to be the easy bit!

Disappointed and gutted.

The Best venue for dream wedding

Our Big day couldn’t have been any better. From initial meeting with Lyndsey we knew that this is the best place for our wedding reception. Everything was meticulously planned and timed on the day. There was nothing that Lyndsey and her Team couldn’t do, any changes and special arrangements were easily accommodated.
The food was great and we had a wide range of choices on the menu.
The hotel is located in the most beautiful area and is within walking distance of the beach. We would recommend the Manor House Hotel for your wedding reception.
