Howfield Manor Hotel

Viele gratis Parkplätze, gute Lage , sehr schöne Anlage

Sehr schlechte alte Matratzen, kein Druck auf den Wasserleitungen, Teppichboden im Zimmer

Breakfast was excellent. Lovely grounds and great history. I suspect that the main business of this hotel was as an events venue. For midweek visitors it was delightful.

Some basic maintenance in the bedroom was lacking. The shower head for example would not stay in position and a lampshade was broken. We pointed these issues out when we left and I am sure they were fixed.

The staff were wonderful, very friendly and accommodating. Room was very cute, full of character and the buildings and grounds were beautiful. The breakfast and dinner was delicious. Loved learning the history of the beautiful old building too. I would highly recommend and would definetely stay again.

A quiet location with nice grounds. Room 3, where we stayed later was really nice with a 4-post comfy bed. The floor creaked, but it was an old building.

The food. They couldn't make poached eggs that had runny yokes. Instead, they were like hard-boiled eggs. The 'full English breakfast was OK, but the sausage was undercooked for my liking. On the last day, the sausage was not a Cumberland style as claimed, so I left it. I did get a poached egg with a runny yoke as I had asked for it. But, there was no fruit salad or pastries, just. buns, - I guess they were awaiting a delivery. We chose not to have an evening meal there, so I don't know what they were like.

In general, the hotel and the facilities were very much allright. But their nonchalant attitude towards credit card privacy is unacceptable.

Allthough the room and the stay was allready paid in full via booking, the receptionist demanded to write down my credit card and to put it in their database. My protest to the receptionist made no difference, she insisted friendly but firmly. Totally unacceptable.
