Stayed overnight in one of the Gable rooms which was cosy and warm with a sea view (but perhaps in need of a bit of TLC here and there). We arrived late afternoon and enjoyed a couple of gin and tonics in the very comfortable lounge in front of a log fire. Very Agatha Christie, would not have been surprised... More

Visited with friends and had a great time. Lovely, characterful and historic building, in a mature peaceful cliff-top setting. Took the opportunity to check out the rooms our friends were staying in - and all were different and special. Lots of interesting quirky architecture, occasional chairs, stained windows, huge bathrooms and interesting books on the shelves. Our 6ft mattress was... More

We were here Friday to Sunday in February and stayed in the Horsley Suite. A large and comfortable room with a view of the grounds and the sea. If excellent service, top-notch hospitality and a glass of wine in front of a roaring fire are your thing book into this hotel! The staff were helpful in every way, from local... More

I was recently a guest at a 60th birthday party held at The Orestone. The food was excellent and the friendliness and the attentiveness of the staff was outstanding. The restaurant is charming with a lovely terrace and views of the sea. Picture postcard setting, comfort, service and cuisine - a marvellous venue. I will definitely be returning for Sunday... More

I suppose the term not quite what I was expecting sums up Orestone Manor.  You have to make a severe left turn off the xxxx road, which we didn't do partly for over shooting it and partly for fear of not making it in one turn on a fast road and bend, instead turning around further down and approaching from...

Because we had only recently purchased the hotel before your stay last September we had only just begun our refurb programme and at that time our team was quite new. We... More

A group of 22 of us took over the hotel for a Sunday night dinner and overnight stay. When i read the menu I thought this could be either fantastic or a disaster as it was quite complex but it turned out to be a real treat with a standard that was way higher than i expected, even having Kobi...
