Rowley Manor Hotel

Lovely place with lovely surroundings. Was made to feel very welcome from the start and nothing was to much trouble. Food and service was great and affordable with a discount being given when booking online in advance. As for the staff,/owners they are the friendliest and will definitely go back again. Room was well heated and bed comfortable.

Was a surprise when we arrived to how dated it was but that was the charm as thats what its about. Lovely couple who have just purchased it with great plans for the place. Great food. Will be going back again

Excellent place, considering they only opened a month ago. Great potential once they get their teeth into it! Will definitely be back!! But only if Room 8 is available!! Owners/hosts friendly and very accommodating. Great local knowledge

My daughter booked us a mother's day treat. £165 for afternoon tea and spa treatment. This was booked for March 2020 which was postponed for COVID. Rowley Manor initially rebooked us for August 2020 before postponing again. More recently they have ignored my calls and emails attempting to get this rebooked. Not impressed.

Stayed for 2 nights. Entrance very unappealing. We were unsure if we were at the right location as it seemed to be deserted. Our room was in dire need of upgrading - as is the rest of the hotel. No hand towel in bathroom. Hot water took AGES to come through and we ended up having luke warm showers. Room not cleaned after first night, so tea & coffee not replenished. Continental breakfast was very average - not much choice and not great quality. Returned to the Hotel at 8:30pm on Saturday night expecting to get a drink in the bar, but everything was shut up! Trekked into the nearest village and luckily found a lovely pub - The Black Horse. Had afternoon tea included in our stay. Presentation was lovely, but all the sweet/cake selection was chocolate based, so not the best. Find it very hard to believe anyone would choose the Hotel for their wedding venue. Such a shame as the location of the Hotel is amazing. The building and grounds just need a good overhaul, an upgrade of the rooms and attention to detail.

Spent 2 nights here which was a gift from my son. Hotel in a lovely location with stunning views. Friendly staff and afternoon tea was one of the best we’ve had. Bit disappointed with the room, even though was clean it was in great need of some TLC. Gaudy chandelier and rickety bed, looking up at a ceiling in need of decorating. We never saw another guest so felt uncomfortable staying there for dinner or drinks so found a brilliant pub in the village. Even outside garden furniture was in need of a good clean as full of bird droppings, so couldn’t even sit outside to enjoy sunshine. The lawns were immaculate as there is a local croquet club using the grounds. Be careful when parking your car as it gets covered in bird droppings which could cause lasting damage. We have spent a whole day cleaning and waxing to get rid of residue. Nightmare!! Overall the stay was pleasant, but too quiet and lacking atmosphere for us.

We had a lovely two night break in four poster double bedroom.nice and relaxing with great views in lovely location. Continental breakfast both mornings and one evening meal 'a la cart'. The meal was excellent a treo of fish sea bass and salmon and prawns lovely and tasty with nice presentation too. This is our 3rd time visit and recommended. The staff were brilliant and happy smiling and very friendly .which made us so welcome . Will visit again at some point . Thank you for making our visit special.

Visited this stunning 17th century Hotel for afternoon tea, with my mum and husband. We were wowed by the ambience and surroundings and the dining room with its wood panelled walls and historic portraits was quite beautiful. Staff were extremely attentive and gave us the warmest of welcomes and highest level of service throughout. The afternoon tea was amazing, probably amongst the best we have ever had and we have been to eateries all around the country from the Ritz in London, to Carriages in Cambridge and Betty's in York for afternoon tea. The Rowley Manor takes some beating. The fingers sandwiches were delicious, as were the home made sausage and tomato rolls. The freshly baked scones were warm and crumbly with fresh clotted cream and homemade jam. The little cakes and desserts were just heavenly and of the highest quality. Decadence! All for only £20 per head. Its unbelievably good value. Would highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Had a lovely visit to Rowley Manor 15th May. My friend and I enjoyed an excellent Afternoon Tea. The food, china cups and saucers, fresh crisp white tablecloths, service and really lovely Staff, especially Mandy who cared for us was exceptional. The variety of finger sandwiches was lovely and little sausage rolls delicious. If you like cakes then you'll be spoilt, the scones, clotted cream & strawberry preserve delish. The English Tea and Green Tea was unlimited and we finished off with a bottle of Proseco....just perfect. A lovely walk around the Grounds finalised a special afternoon. We are certain to return to try a lunch. Well done Rowley Manor, thank you for a lovely time. 🙂🙋‍♀️

After reading some of the reviews my expectations were pretty low. However the staff were very pleasant and efficient and the Sunday lunch enjoyable. The place is in need of some TLC but that wouldn’t put me returning, maybe to try the afternoon tea which seems very popular.
