Stayed for weekend mid May as part of a group. The efforts by the new owners to put this place on the map are nothing short of a miracle. The attention to detail and the sheer hard work of all involved will I'm sure guarantee them the success they rightly deserve. With the world full of economic gloom this level... More

We would definitely recommend Manor House for the stunning position and the very good renovations which are in character with a lovely building. ALSO the extremely good food and service. Jessica has the touch - very professional. It would be so great if you could do cafetieres of good strong coffee for breakfast - that would make all the difference.... More

We've just stayed for two nights. Lovely, clean, nice family run establishment. Our room (3) was large with ensuite and great shower. The present owners apparently have been the less than a year. They have refurbished it well. We were made very welcome even when we came back after having checked out, because we'd been walking and were soaked through... More

Although local to the area I was in need of a night's accommodation whilst on a course in Bridport. My first choice of hotel was fully booked and whilst I was ambling down the coast road I remembered this hotel but I also remembered that I had read some truly awful reviews of it! No matter, I was low on... More

My stay at The Old Manor was a late Christmas present to me and I somehow managed to choose the coldest weekend of the year so far. Friendly welcome. Lovely soup for lunch and excellent evening meals in the cellar bar; it isn't often that there are two vegetarian options on the menu. And (so I'm told) good beer too.... More

This lovely old stone- flagged manor house fills the gap nicely between Abbotsbury and Bridport on the Jurassic Coast. We have eaten here three times in the last couple of months and find it to be consistently good. Service is friendly and professional; the decor in the cellar bar is warm and inviting, and the dining room is stylish in... More

A hotel we loved years ago that, after a period in the doldrums, has taken on a new lease of life under new management. Took friends for dinner in the restaurant and the food, service and setting were all excellent - we will be going back! All the rooms are gradually being done over and the Manor is shaking off...
