We stayed in a "superior"room here and I can honestly say there was nothing superior about the room at all except that it was large. I expected the furniture, fittings etc to be old in keeping with this property but it was simply shabby. There were massive cobwebs hanging from the bathroom ceiling that simply didn't appear there overnight and... more

I was a bit apprehensive after reading some of the reviews from this website, but my husband and I decided to persevere anyway as we had booked it for a weekend away with our in laws. In fact, we had also received a call from the hotel the day prior that there had been a mistake and our room was... more

After my experience of Plumber Manor at the weekend, I felt compelled to write a review. My husband and I have stayed at many different hotels around the world but Plumber Manor must win the award for the most appalling customer service we have ever experienced. To the reviewer of December 2005, your dreadful experience sounds quite positive compared to... more

I've stayed at Plumber Manor several times over the years, most recently in October 2007. I can't rave enough about it! From the personalized welcome, to the comfortable, well-equipped bedrooms (my favorite are in the annex, formerly the stables), to the superb dinners, lovely garden, reasonable prices and great location: this laid-back country house hotel has it all. If I... more

We stayed at Plumber Manor for two days in early September 2007. Our spacious room was in the main manor house -- there's an annex as well -- with a bathroom across the corridor. The bathroom was spacious, too, and the old-fashioned bathtub was huge -- I could almost swim in it. The bed was perfect. The cleaners managed to... more

We have just returned from spending our first wedding anniversary at Plumber Manor and had a wonderful time. This is the sort of hotel to go to if you are a couple looking to get away from it all or a group/ family who want to use the hotel as a base to explore the wonderful South West of England.... more

I happened to see the Dec 2005 review of Plumber Manor and felt I had to set the record straight. We stayed there two nights in Sept 2005 while doing a grand tour of south england(we also stayed at Ston Easton and The Lugger Hotel in Cornwall) and had a wonderful time. The location was lovely, and our room in... more

I have stayed at Plumber Manor on 11 occasions over the years and never failed to be impressed with the hospitality, comfort of the rooms, the service and the quality of the food. I am a regular user of the TripAdvisor service and there are many hotels in the UK which deserve hefty criticism. This is not one of them. more

Last night I went to Manderley. Well, Plumber Manoar actually, but you get the drift. Both are throwbacks in time. The setting is terrific. A long sweeping drive ending in a romantic flourish infront of a Jacobean building silhouetted against the skyline. The Hall is beautiful but have we wandered into somebody's barn by mistake. There's a grandfather clock, a... more
