Widemouth Manor

Lovely sett, friendly staff but...

Liked: The staff were very friendly and helpful.The double bed was extremely comfortable and the shower room was good too. We had a fabulous meal in the evening. The restaurant was lovely with views across the bay. It was the modern part of the hotel.
Disliked: The old manor part of the hotel, although really interesting and genuine did smell a bit fusty. The beautiful old oak staircase was spoiled by the carpet seemingly in need of a steam clean, which was a shame as it was the part of the hotel one first encountered. The breakfast was very disappointing with the fruit juices being served in fairly small portions.and not a hugely interesting choice. My bacon sandwich was unnteresting, although I can't fault the service. We felt that for £195 for one night in a triple room the breakfast was lacking compared to other less expensive hotels. We had patio doors leading onto it terrace but this was out of action, supposedly unsafe due to heavy rain, but it was the roof of the garden bar, so not sure on that one. They did say it wasn't advertised for that reason. Although I said it met my expectations, this was with reservation.

You made our stay in...

Liked: The staff were all so friendly and welcoming, we also met the owner over breakfast one morning and he was very friendly and accommodating to my son who is a fussy eater, which we always really appreciate! My son also made a comment of “he’s a nice man”.The location and views from our room, the restaurants and surrounding areas were outstanding even on the overcast/foggy days. Food was also delicious! Thank you for our stay we will defiantly be returning in the near future, we didn’t want to come home!
Disliked: By all means it’s not a dislike and more of a preference, beds could be a little more softer. Overall we were so happy when we opened the door to our room and had so much space as a family of 3 and lovely decor.

Exceptional

WM

Liked: Food, drinks and staff excellent.
Disliked: Room 7 was awful, incredibly small, uncomfortable and the complete shock was that the toilet was located directly in the shower (who installed that, Frank Spencer?!) Also, if you needed the toilet during the night, you'd end up with wet feet - no bedside tables, the tiny sink was next to the main door and couldn't use the toilet as a couple as you see and hear EVERYTHING - shocking.

Nice place overall but overpriced...

Disliked: Room was sold as a small double. We expected the room to be smaller but the bed could not really sleep two adults comfortably

Restaurant and drinking area was...

Liked: Lovely food, really friendly staff
Disliked: The bed was lumpy and uncomfortable Our shower which had the toilet in the cubicle with it was not clean the shower head was moldy the floor felt unsafe and had probably had many repairs to it which left it flexible and the piles of silicone around repair was dirty and moldy.

Poor

Liked: Upstairs bar area
Disliked: Hotel was tired and needs updating
