St Michael's Manor Hotel

The AC in the conservatory where we held the wedding ceremony and meal was wholly inadequate. It was 27c outside and at least that inside. The main problem was underspecified AC units ( there were only 2 - probably needed 6). There was no roof blinds to shade us from the afternoon sun, so the venue got hotter and hotter. As a result the experience was very uncomfortable - inexcusable really as the Hotel Management must have always know this was a problem in the hot summers from previous years. The hotel did put out 2 domestic fans to help move the air, but with a wedding party of c60, it was about as useful as a chocolate tea pot. On the +ve, the venue was lovely, the grounds immaculate, staff friendly and attentive and the food excellent for what was a mass catering event. However, anything above 24c outside and that conservatory (the main dining / wedding venue) will become unbearably hot.

Lovely staff, very helpful . Our room was very nice, but a little bit tired and old-fashioned . That was a tear in one of the curtains and the French window onto the garden didn’t engage down at the bottom thus not locking properly alsowe had a lightbulb out on the wall lights behind the bed. Nothing to spoil the visit. It was taken on board at reception when we mentioned it on our departure. Also have to comment that one of our breakfast was not good for £20 per person. We did report this and they deducted it from the Bill. All in all , we enjoyed our three night trip and will return if we are in the area .

Excellent in all departments

Lovely hotel , beautiful grounds and very helpful staff x
