6/10 Bueno

Mixed feelings.
On first impressions, The Manor is a beautiful building in a quaint village that promises peace and tranquillity.
The bedroom was charmingly decorated and cosy, the bathroom was oddly oversized, with hanging space hidden at the far end, I’m all for quirky, but not at the expense of practicality.
Unfortunately, the loud thrum and vibrations of extractor fans made it unbearable, like I was lodged in the bowels of some industrial machine. The Velux window lacked sound insulation, meaning cars and conversations in the car-park were also loud in the room.
The kitchen closing provided relief, but other machinery hummed on, earplugs couldn’t fully block out.
As I write this at 10 pm, the noise continues to ruin any chance of an early night, on the second evening, the neighbouring rooms plumbing decided to join the din.
To their credit, the pub itself is tastefully decorated, and the food is excellent, unfortunately, this did not offset two nights of poor sleep.
Breakfast had good choices ordered from the menu, but no sign of cereal, fruit, or toast, a surprising omission I’m accustomed to as a frequent traveller.
In summary, while The Manor looks the part, the lack of soundproofing and the relentless noise make it impossible to recommend for a peaceful stay. It’s a real shame, as there’s potential here, but a good night’s sleep should be non-negotiable.
