Trimstone Manor Country House Cottages

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Trimstone Manor Hotel. The whole place has an old world charm about it. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly and the delicious 'Full English Breakfast' certainly lived up to its name! Our mixed group were able to enjoy the pool table in the games room and also the large swimming pool - such a great facility. We were able to have our own Qigong session in a secluded part of the pretty and extensive garden one morning, accompanied by the rather raucous calls of the resident peacock (who obliged us with several displays of his magnificent tail feathers). We were not blessed with the best weather over our weekend stay and can only imagine how relaxing it would be, and how splendid the whole place would look, in lovely bright sunshine. We are all certainly very keen to return to this quiet and charming family run hotel.

We had a wonderful time at Trimstone over Xmas. Our room was lovely, very spacious, spotlessly clean with an extremely comfortable bed and lashings of hot water for our bath (much welcomed after a winter dip in the sea). We were given such a very warm welcome by the owners and spent many memorable hours with friends and family in the homely bar and lounge area. Lots of animals to see and close to the amazing beaches. We had a super time. Thank you.

I never leave reviews but this was just so bad! My friend booked ‘afternoon tea’ which consisted of some tiny, thin finger sandwiches, a scone and 2 x Mr Kipling cakes, one of which was a fondant fancy. We sat in a cold, soulless room with stacked up cardboard boxes. It was £21 each which was not reduced even after my friend’s honest and reasonable verbal feedback. Worst hospitality experience ever. Avoid.

Having been to Trimstone Manor many times before I must gluton fir punishment, but more importantly wanted to give this business the benefit of doubt thinking that it might of improved. Sadly this was not the case, the place looks tired and kept like seaside attraction that has seen better days. Not sure why the owner doesn't just sell tge place and let someone that truly has the passion and focus to run the place properly rather than a after thought or has the capability fir hospitality which this owner truly doesn't for sure which is sad.

The hotel was very clean. We had some minor issues which were immediately resolved by the very lovely hotel staff. The owners were very friendly and spoke to us every day.

Just got home from a week at Trimstone. The place was great and the host was fantastic. She was always there to help with keys etc. and we will definitely be back next year! Just hope we can bring the sunshine with us.

The last time I was back at Trimstone Manor was back in January 2023 where I was very disappointed by this shabby venue and thinking of taking friends there at the end of April I thought things might of changed as the holiday season is heading into the spring and the summer just a few months away. Unfortunately I felt embarrassed as the place was still as bad as I had remembered it January, looks down at heal, service not good, take it or leave, and the prices are very high for what you get. These friends said that a place like this should have a greater prominence and it seems the owner or owners don't really care about the place. I always like to give places and venues the benefit of the doubt and unfortunately Trimstone Manor doesn't live upto any expectation and the best thing to the current owner should sell it and let someone with true passion and focus and knows how the tourist sector works. It should be focused on the customer, customer and customer and you can see that the present owners are interested in themselves unfortunately. I would be recommending this sorry venue to anyone... I might get barred but do I really care where is better venue's who really focus on the tourist.

Building work going on which would have been nice to to be informed of, we couldn't even park outside our own unit, Builders vans and materials everywhere we almost felt in the way?? overall it was very Disappointing as there was no restaurant and no Bar, but if we wanted a drink they would open the bar if we asked? But they would do a breakfast at £12 per head?? but we didn't want to risk it? so we ate out. We could walk around the grounds which included the upside down trampoline and the on site scrap yard!!! probably wont go back. so disappointing as it was a present for us. I hope they turn it around. its a lovely area but better places to stay.

Peaceful relaxing in the countryside, set in beautiful grounds with peacocks!
