My first visit although my wife last dined here 12 years ago. A warm and friendly welcome in an upper crust sort of way, drinks in the bar and plenty of time to choose from a perfectlly Adequate lunch menu and a sensibly priced wine list. Two seafood starters (trio of shellfish and trout) suited us well and they were... More

We have never visited this part of the country before and Plumber Manor had been recommended to us. The reason for our visit was to attend a big family celebratory Ball and we were part of a large party staying at the hotel. It is undoubtedly a lovely looking hotel with beautiful gardens and we were greeted with a warm... More

From the welcome of the staff to way Richard effortlessly looks after his guests the whole place exudes quality and comfort. The food is exceptional, cooked to... More

We have been visiting Plumber Manor restaurant for many years. It is full of country charm, exceptional hospitality and situated in lovely surroundings. The food quality is as good as ever and we have always been made very welcome.

The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, the... More

The atmosphere in the bar is very welcoming and the food absolutely delicious. If you take Plumber Manor as you... More

We loved arriving to see the black labrador lying in the hallway as we walked in. There is nothing trendy or boutique about this place. It... More
