We went to celebrate a special birthday with friends and overall we had a wonderful time. A very warm welcome from the reception team. They showed us to our room (Brocklebank) and parked the car. Brockleybank is a large, top floor suite. On entering you have a decent size lounge area, with sofa and armchairs. The rest of the suite is laid out in an L shape, with the bedroom being at the other end, with views overlooking the front of the hotel. It has two bathrooms, one with a bath the other with a shower. The room is in the eves of the hotel, there are some low ceilings and wooden beams to look out for. All in all a very pleasant room, not cosy, and missing a few more colourful touches, but all in all a nice suite to stay in. We met our friends in the bar. Ordered a bottle of Taittinger Champagne. First glass was poured then nothing. We sat there with empty glasses and three people, including the barman walked past and no one noticed or offered to top up our glasses. I personally find this very poor service. It was not like they were busy, only one other couple in the bar!!! Finally we gave up and poured our own champagne for the rest of our time there. We also had to ask for nibbles, crisps, olives and nuts. These were served in very small bowls, (and there were four of us) sadly at not small prices. We had booked dinner in the Atrium. So we met in the bat for drinks. This time a very helpful, friendly barman looked after us and could not do enough to make our stay enjoyable. All credit to him. Dinner was exceptionally good. The food was imaginative, well presented and each of the dishes explained. We also chose the Wine Flight. At £97 per person it was not cheap but again the choice of wines was well mated to each of the dishes. Back to the bar for a nightcap and excellent service from the bar man. Breakfast the next day was a mixture of buffet along with ordering from a menu. The buffet was good however, I would say they could improve the quality and size of the croissants. Very small and somewhat dry, when you put a knife into them they imploded into flakes of pastry. English breakfasts looked good. The smoked Salmon and scrambled eggs was also good, if a little stingy on the Smokes Salmon. We had also booked afternoon tea. Which was a very pleasant experience. Good choice of sandwiches, a tart as well as the usual scones, cakes etc., All in all a very pleasant stay.

Location is good, very close to the town centre. The English Manor Hotel is very welcoming and comfortable, with a large lawn and wide view. The hotel not only has English billiards, but also a Michelin restaurant, which is very delicious. The rooms are large and tidy, the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are spacious, and the garden is full of flowers. The most recommended is the hotel's own wine, which is very delicious and sweet and sour.

Very good location in the town, just near the model village, hotel guest can get free tickets for the village. Breakfast is great. Staff are quite friendly and nice. Car parking made a few confused, carpark is very limited at daytime, and you need to pay for carpark for hole day because car park is operated by the same company. A lot of cute bees flying around the hotel, some will fly into the room, you may need to shut the window…hah!

We hired the bowling lanes last weekend and had a great time! Such a fab set up with the private bowling, perfect for families/friends and groups. Staff were all really friendly and helpful and food in the bar area after was delicious! Lovely afternoon will definitely return.

The address is still very easy to find, that is, you have to carry your luggage upstairs, the scenery outside the window is very beautiful, the next day's breakfast is checked in advance and put it at the door ～ The bathroom is very large and bright, the door of the room is a bit old ～ There is a parking space near the door, free parking from 18:00 to 8:00 the next day, except for this time period, there is a free parking for 1.5 hours every day, and there is a cute candy store around.

Ok. Reviews. Let's get this out of the way. They do not have TVs in the rooms. I find this hard to believe that's a reason to give a lower rating. We stayed at an apparently 4 star prior to here and they had a TV in the room and they've refunded us our money because the stay/room/service/hotel was bad. (Not going to mention them). They didn't even quibble, they acknowledged it. So if this is a massive thing for you,  take a tablet or laptop. We all have them. There you go, done. So in summary, they do not have TVs but  have the most amazing walks, staff and surroundings. Lovely welcome in reception. The rooms were clean and bathrooms mastic mould free!!! Doesn't happen in many.  Beds were lovely and comfy, reception give you any extra coffees you want, there was no quibble. 24 hr bar if you wanted it for residents. In the main bar area, it overlooks the golf course, the restaurant also. The restaurant services approx 36 people ish (at a time) don't quote me, this is a guesstimate. The bar lounge also has 25 people to sit? Again, don't quote me, it's a guesstimate. (Make sure you book a table though) You can also just go for drinks and you don't have to eat if you don't want to. There are many places within the area if you wanted to eat out. (You have to drive or taxi for this though, not walking distance). The quality of food they serve is not a Wetherspoons menu. This is fresh and locally sourced and not cooked in bulk. If you're looking for piles of food on a plate for £10, probably not the place for you. The food was amazing and the best I've had for a while. The waiting staff were there in a blink of an eye if you wanted something. You are roughly 30 mins from visiting places of interest. But you could expand further, it's very easy to access places. The area is a stunning place, Feldon valley I would recommend and would definitely return to.
