Findon Manor Hotel

A little disappointed, hotel not up to what you would for a Manor. Hotel is tired and needs a bit of TLC. Our sink had a crack and chip that had been badly filled. The glass shelf had not been replaced making it difficult to use as nowhere to put anything down. No thermostat in room, heating went off at night. Mildew round window panes. Dead flies.

Lovely little hotel, spacious bedroom with a really comfy bed. Good breakfasts. Snooty Fox is a friendly locals bar, good bar snacks available. Staff were all very attentive, even on a busy afternoon with two small functions to attend to.Plenty of parking and lovey woody gardens.

Freezing cold room with cobwebs and un vacuumed floor, ensuite had a mastic repaired sink , a hand painted mess in the bath due to a broken bath, the shower trickled freezing cold or boiling hot. The breakfast was less than appealing with forgetful staff messing up the order, not returning to ask if all was OK, no hot drinks refilled. We were locked out at night as the staff forgot to tell us there was a night code for the door. The main areas were cold, smelly unloved messy and dirty

Afternoon Tea Having visited last year and had a wonderful afternoon tea using a Wowcher voucher we decided to take advantage of this years Wowcher offer of a Prosecco afternoon tea at the hotel Well what a disappointment after last years amazing tea The sandwiches where probably the only full sized offering on the stand - the scones ( 2 savoury with no butter offered and 2 plain with jam and cream) where one bite size literally and the cakes where also one bite sized I had actually expected a second stand to arrive with duplicate offerings when I had seen the first stand as there was really only just enough for one person! The Prosecco saved the afternoon but even the surroundings of a plain table with no table cloth and being put in a dark corner of the back room didn’t help with the experience I appreciate it was a half price deal but after last year ( which was also a half price deal ) it was extremely poor and if reflective of there current offering then I would avoid even at half price!

I came with a couple of friends for afternoon tea. Wanted to return as the afternoon tea we had had a couple of years back was delicious. We unfortunately left very disappointed. The service and food was lovely but the afternoon tea was not to the standard from our previous visit with serious cutbacks. There were some finger sandwiches, a tiny fruit scone with a small pot of jam and cream and a tiny cheese and chive scone each. We each had a small quiche. The three desserts were also miniscule, being a two bite sized cheesecake and Bakewell tart and a slightly larger chocolate brownie. Everything was delicious but even with a wowcher voucher it certainly did not justify the amount paid.. Don't think we will be coming back unfortunately.

We stopped off with our horses after a long ride on a very hot sunny day, and what an oasis we found. We were welcomed into the garden and made to feel very welcome which was so nice as our ponies have very large feet and were delighted to start eating your immaculate lawn! Thankfully we didn’t cause any noticeable damage. The beer was the coldest most refreshing beer ever. The ponies were treated to plate of carrots which was also very much appreciated. Thank you for spoiling us we will be back.

If you’re looking for excellent food and service then you will not find better! Good value for money and the staff can’t do enough for you !They go the extra mile to make you feel welcome and nothing is too much trouble . I highly recommend their home made pies !!!

Exceptional service and food! Arrived to a lovely welcome from the staff to have pre dinner drinks before our lunch. We had a lovely table jn the terrace up by the doors to the beautiful garden. We had a wonderful Sunday roast, cauliflower cheese was amazing. Staff were very attentive, checking we was happy. Brûlée and cheesecake were homemade so nice to go out to a lovely setting,nice staff and homemade food. Bar was very well stocked too. We will be back.

I’ve dined here quite a few times now and will be returning. Great vegetarian options and delicious desserts. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. There are two areas to dine, a beautiful restaurant with a terrace and a cosy bar. Met a few lovely locals in the bar, which is always a good sign. The gardens were beautiful and a Boule pitch was an added bonus.
