    There was nothing not to love.

    What an experience! Though we stayed only two nights, we both felt as though we had been there for weeks, such is the slow pace and relaxing atmosphere at Lympstone Manor. The food (we experienced Michael's signature tasting menu, a champagne afternoon tea and the included breakfast) was every bit the wizardry that you would expect from having such a respected and commended figure at the helm. The staff could truly not do enough for you in every instance. The rooms were the ultimate in luxury; the beds extremely comfortable and we LOVED the underfloor heating in the bathroom. Another highlight was the new pool and pool-house. I thoroughly enjoyed my nice warm swim on a beautiful February day. As a final added bonus we had a lovely chat with Michael who was so lovely. Both of us feel so calm and relaxed as a result of our short stay and can't wait to return!

    There is nothing to reference Michael Caines (other than the exquisite food of course) so it does feel a little corporate… A minor niggle but having stayed at many wonderful hotels around the world, this felt less like an English Country house hotel than perhaps it could? It lacked those little touches you find at a Polizzi hotel or The Newt or The Goring. Sparkling clean. Warm. Welcoming. Just a wee bit bland… You did ask!

    Exceptional service from everyone.

    The house is very tastefully decorated, it’s not fussy or minimalist but perfectly welcoming. The views were stunning from the house and our balcony. The staff were extremely friendly from the front of house to the waiting team. We were made to feel very welcome by everyone we met. Johanna went out of her way to make us feel at home and was really hard working taking on a number of roles to make our stay comfortable. The 7 course tasting menu was delicious and the female Sommelier gave us some great advice on a wine. Our room was an upgrade for our anniversary which was much appreciated and we’re looking forward to coming back to discover more of the rooms.

    The staff were delightful. Everyone from the receptionist to the waiting staff in both the restaurant and the pool house were very friendly. Some other high end establishments can be a bit “stuffy” but we were made to feel very welcome and at ease. The food of course was sublime and the views over the estuary enhanced the feeling of relaxation. Can’t wait to return

    When booking it was unclear what rooms were allowed dogs and the shepards huts were not detailed this I feel is a misted opportunity

    The setting for Lympstone Manor was simply divine and the views were absolutely beautiful. Lympstone Manor caters for all including pets and food allergies they literally could not do more for us. The shepards huts are simply amazing and we're very cosy again with views across the vines up to the Manor.

    The Shepherd's hut is great for a family with small children but not suitable for 3 adults really. Although we very much loved our stay here!

    The hotel is lovely, as are the grounds and the pool area. The food was wonderful too. A spa would be nice and that would draw us back during the winter months! The staff are all friendly and very accommodating. A lovely hotel to visit and stay at. We highly recommend it.

    I love everything about Lympstone Manor, if I was to Criticise anything. I do find at breakfast it is extremely quiet not much Ambience you feel as though your Neighbouring tables can hear you when having a conversation. Music should be played to break the awkward silence!

    It is so relaxing and very luxurious. The pool house is now open which just adds to the whole experience. All the staff are very accommodating, nothing is too much to ask!
