Hatcher's Manor

"Quirky place. We arrived early evening and were advised our room was accidentally allocated to someone else and the restaurant was closed (we called ahead to confirm booking and weren’t advised of this earlier). The room we were allocated was fine. Being a Manor it was themed as such, wouldn’t say it’s luxurious but it is comfortable. Bathrooms could do with an upgrade, they also had somewhat of a sewerage smell coming through the pipes. No milk provided for tea/coffee station. Breakfast was filling and tasty."

"Started to have second thoughts when reading some reviews but the room was lovely, we stayed in the attic room which was spacious and warm with a big TV as well as coffee/tea etc. Room was very clean and new clean linen. The reception guy was very welcoming and showed us around when we expressed an interest in the main house. The only real issue was that it's a large rambling type place and they had a crew of contractors staying there, so we were woken at 5.30 to the guys getting ready for work which continued till 6.30 when they eventually left."

"Should’ve read the reviews before booking! Goodness, where to start…. Very dirty stained carpets, earwigs in the shower/toilet, toilet holder fell off, lights not working, very old stained towels with holes in them. The garden was very unkept, this place looked nothing like it did in the bookings. We had to use all of our sense of humour to get us through the night. On a positive the place looked very nice lit up at night with the fairy lights. And I’m sure it would’ve have once been a lovely place in its day."

"Peaceful and scenic property, lovely antique furniture, a spa, room service if needed, and cooperative friendly staff. I just visited by myself for some r n r and it was perfect. Comfy bed. Had a gr8 sleep and breaky in the gracefully decorated restaurant. Minimal self catering with a 2 burner hob and microwave."

"Not quite sure where to go with this review, but basically we felt scammed. The website has the most amazing pictures of people having a good time in pristine settings, but when you get there, you quickly realize that the place is really falling apart as an establishment. Yes, owners are friendly, but grossly overworked and rather thinly staffed. I got the feeling there was zero investment in maintenance, plaster coming off walls and woodwork looking tired and in need of a repaint. Grass growing out of gutters, entrance lamps in driveway broken, a stale smell throughout buildings and the restaurant could do with a department of health check. The big wedding/banqueting room is a stale mess, with the back room looking like something one would find in a refugee camp with some sort of make shift dwellings half constructed amongst machinery and bits of odd things that don't belong anywhere. Spa bath did not work in the room. Grounds a mess and orchards are a thing of the past, in irrecoverable run down state. It's just a big mess. The 4-star rating is dishonest. To give this place one star is being very gracious. I'm sure that once upon a time is was gorgeous, but that is just the fairy tale. This place is on its last legs."
