We really looked forward to our recent stay at this former French owned Manor House, but things started to wrong on our arrival when there was obviously a problem with a lady who, it transpired, had booked a suite many months ago only to find that it had been let out recently to another family. On arrival in our adequate room we thought that we would have a up of coffee, had to use tap water and found that the milk in the small cartons was off, after tasting said coffee. The biscuits on offer were mediocre at best. In the en-suite the sink was somewhat blocked which we reported twice and it was impossible to turn the water on in the bath/shower without getting in to the bath. The evening meal that we had off the bar menu was very disappointing. The curry we were told was a chicken curry but was like coloured water with bits of chicken in. We asked the waiter to ask the chef what this was supposed to be! This was replaced with an acceptable version of a chicken curry. The other dish we had was a very mediocre lasagne. The large queen size bed we found to be very comfortable. In the morning we were quite surprised when using the lift to find unaccompanied bed linen and towels which we had to share the lift with. The breakfast was again a disappointment with the beans, sausage, hash browns and mushrooms and the scrambled egg being less than appetising. Bacon and fried egg was ok. All in all our visit showed a lack of management on most levels.
