Accommodation at Salomons Estate

Lovely overnight stay here. Comfortable quiet room and lots of choice for breakfast. Our room was a short walk from the Manor House, where the reception, bar and breakfast room were. All the staff were friendly and helpful. It was explained when we arrived that they didn’t serve food in the evening, which we knew from reading the advance email from them. But we were directed to a nearby fish and chip shop (which is what we wanted) and they offered to provide plates and cutlery if we wanted to eat it there or to have it delivered by one of the food delivery platforms. Very happy with our stay and would happily recommend.

Would not stay again unless cottages or main bldg Budget price, budget experience. Comfortable bed, decent enough bathroom, building itself left a lot to be desired. Very noisy - could hear every heavy sounding footstep above me (at 6 am) conversation from other rooms and every electric ping of people entering main door, people coming in late and leaving early made for short nights of sleep. Decent breakfast and gorgeous grounds with plenty of areas to sit and enjoy the views. Staff welcome and professional, older building would likely be better than the flimsy 60s refurbed uni halls type accommodation. Have booked the cottages before and they are lovely. Motto is you get what you pay for?

A very unusual property, being a Victorian estate built into a hillside. It is very easy to get lost at Salomons Estate, so th signage could have been better. You have to register at reception first before receiving a map to the building that you will be staying in. I found the lady on reception to be less than helpful, but she was better the following morning when I checked out. I had to ask another guest which building was which as there are several and it wasn't clear where to go - better signage needed. It was there, but facing the wrong direction for me to see it as I was driving in. My room was very small, but adequate and thankfully had an ensuite,vas I was originally expecting a shared bedroom/ dormitory and a shared bathroom. Thankfully this was not the case. The room was clean, there was some dirt on one of the walls in the bathroom, but for hostel type accommodation, it was fine. A nice touch were the earplugs that were provided. I haven't come across that before. The blinds didn't quite fit the windows and you could see daylight around the edges. The shower was great. As it was quite a steep hill back to reception and breakfast, I drove back to reception. Nobody offered to show me where breakfast was being served, although I had found this out the night before. Again other guests had to tell me what to do, which was essentially self service. Anyway, breakfast was varied and good. All in all, I enjoyed my stay at Salomons Estate and would recommend it. It was also.
