Spicers Clovelly Estate

It was a lovely experience. The staff are all lovely and the estate is breathtaking.

Husband took me away for a weekend (2 night stay) at the very relaxing Spicers Clovelly Estate. The Atmosphere along with the wine and all the staff were amazing and definitely a memorable experience. We enjoyed the fire pit with a serving of petite fours instead of a birthday cake.

I had read many of the reviews prior to us going for a milestone wedding anniversary, so was expecting something sensational. However, our stay of two nights was a mixed bag, ranging from outstanding to disappointing. Firstly, the staff in the restaurant were wonderful. Friendly, knowledgeable, courteous and accommodating. The food was very good, although the Peachester lamb was weird. However, the Peachester lamb sausage I had for breakfast was excellent. Also, to run out of the fish of the day was disappointing. Regarding the accommodation: the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was a good size, but.... . Having previously managed accommodation facilities comprising hundreds of beds, I have a keen eye for noticing the condition and cleanliness of accommodation. Our room failed in this regard. The floor needed vacuuming, the toilet seat was broken, the bathroom grouting needed attention, the shower rose came loose and pest control is needed. I would have thought a facility such as this would have a planned maintenance and painting schedule. There was a nice little garden area adjacent to the shower, with beautiful peace lilies growing. However, the ambience of the garden was totally spoilt because of piles of dead leaves. The room we were in did not lend itself to being quiet. We could hear plumbing noises late at night and early morning. We did not get to see any of the gardens as it rained pretty much the whole time we were there. As I mentioned at the beginning, the saving grace was the staff - among the best I have encountered. We are pleased we went, but doubt we would go again.

My wife and i recently had our first wedding anniversary at Spicers Clovelly Estate, and we had such an amazing time. It was extremely relaxing, the rooms were fantastic, extremely comfortable with a very cozy vibe. It did rain heavily throughout the weekend while we were there, and to be honest we think it made the place even more beautiful. The staff were incredibly friendly and very helpful, which made the stay even better. I could not highly recommend the restaurant enough, food and wine were amazing and made it hard to leave. All round an amazing weekend away, and look forward to going back.

We stayed overnight to celebrate a special occasion and had a very memorable and enjoyable experience. The service was excellent and the room and property were beautifully presented. The highlight of the stay was the 5 course meal at The Long Apron Restaurant, with the food, wine and service all being top notch. The staff also went above and beyond as we unfortunately had a accident that required some medical attention, a very kind staff member named Suzanne (Please correct me if I got the name wrong!) did not hesitate to take us to the nearest hospital despite it being after midnight, thank you again Suzanne!

Went for group breakfast. Overpriced and the food was terrible. Paid $45 for toast and scrambled eggs, maybe a $10 meal at best. The coffee was warm and sub standard. No juice on the table. No salt and pepper. No spreads afterward. Total waste of money.
