Manor House Lindley

We booked here for my parents 60th wedding Anniversary, and wow, from the moment we arrived we were provided with attentive friendly service. The staff were warm, friendly and simply wonderful. The afternoon tea was exceptional and delicious. We will be back

Booked this hotel for one night On arrival we were told the restaurant wasn’t open on Mondays or Tuesday and should have been told this. I wasn’t told this on 3 enquiry emails and a call to confirm booking So our room number 10, initially seems fine and a very nice place to be overnight. My wife tried to have a bath but wasn’t very hot Two incidents now but bearable. However on returning for the evening and trying to sleep was impossible from the noise next door. Approximately every 30 minutes there was a knocking/ banging noise followed by a water running/flushing sound. The adjacent room was not a bedroom and I don’t know if it was part of the gym or storeroom or something else. This was enough to keep us both disturbed all night On my wife sending an email that was responded to by Rooms Manager Katie she dismissed our issues by saying we were told about the restaurant being closed ( no confirmation email so we weren’t) More worryingly though apparently maintenance had checked and there weren’t the noises that kept us awake all night. So I would suggest either of these possibilities 1 Maintenance never checked at all 2 Maintenance are deaf or didn’t stay long enough to hear this 3 Either maintenance or Katie are not being truthful about this So seen as that was the response and a follow up email has been ignored for 5 days by Katie a one star review is well and truly deserved I will update if the review generates a reply

The Kitchen obviously lets down the Manor House. I’ve tried sandwiches in the past but the bread is just too thick. This time I chose the beetroot, goats cheese and walnut salad. There was plenty of beetroot but only a minute amount of goats cheese and hardly any walnuts. The accompanying bread was stale. I had to ask for butter. For £16 I expected something far better especially as the restaurant food gets good reviews. It seems like they don’t care about the Kitchen so why bother with it? I won’t in future.

We love afternoon teas and were really looking forward to afternoon tea at the Manor House. The room was lovely and the service was good but the food was a real let down. One of the savouries was a croissant with goats cheese and relish, when we opened the croissant it literally had about a teaspoon of goats cheese in it (see picture) For the price we expected the sweet things to be homemade and they weren't, I've seen the exact same frozen patisseries in other places which was very disappointing, not only that but it seemed like they were only willing to open one pack which were all the same flavour...blackberry, every one was a fruit and the same fruit. There should be a selection, chocolate, sponge, lemon, creamy etc even the choux bun had a blackberry filling, tough luck if you don't like blackberries. The 2 stars are for the room and the service, the food was abysmal.

Absolutely gorgeous stay here! Everything was perfect and so carefully thought through. Breakfast was delicious, a call to check all was okay due to bad weather warnings as we drove there and immaculate service during our time there. The hotel room itself no.6 was a delight, clean and tidy and minimal with character and the gorgeous scent of Jo Malone. Shower was perfect as well. We cant wait to come back and we have decided to book each room one at a time!
