Mr & MRS Smith Eckington Manor

From check in to check out everybody in a customer facing role was courteous, professional and most importantly friendly. A special mention to the three front of house staff who were working the Dinner service on August 1st, knowledgeable and enthusiastic for sure, but they managed to take it up a level and create a wonderful atmosphere Exceptional food from the chef and his brigade, I love a menu that is basically a page as opposed to a book, knowing that each dish is going to receive full attention. A Three course or a Taster menu are offered, on this occasion we didn’t order wine but the wines on offer are a perfect selection to complement the dishes The room was perfect, very comfortable and welcoming after a long drive, toiletries are from a local provider and are perfect whether you jump in the shower or soak in the Slipper Bath Breakfast was another winner, and again the front of house staff were wonderful. I’ve tried to think of any downsides to our stay and that’s proving difficult, initially I noticed the lack of a small room fridge but in all honesty on this occasion I doubt we would’ve used it anyway, I guess one would be handy for those who prefer milk with their tea/coffee instead of the provided UHT portions which look wrong in most hotel rooms to be fair Checkout again was really smooth after breakfast and a last walk around the gardens. A return visit is most certainly on the cards, primarily based on the staff involved in our first visit Highly recommended Gary Mac & Sharon room 12

Absolutely beautiful hotel. The room we stayed in was in the old Manor House so had plenty of character. Room had great amenities and a very comfortable bed. The only suggestion would be better signage to where to check in but would certainly not mark down because of this. Would definitely stay again.

We have just been to stay at Eckington Manor . I did the easy entertaing cookery course on Saturday followed by a nights stay. Fantastic informative cookery day, definitely will be back. We stayed over and had a fabulous meal too. We couldn't fault our stay. Thank you to Judy and the team...

Wonderful stay as usual. This was our 6th stay, and the accommodation and dining was superb. We stayed for 2 nights and dined in on both evenings. We were not disappointed! Great ingredients exquisitely prepared. All staff were extremely friendly, professional and welcoming. Hope to be back soon!

Sunday lunch was superb. Salmon locally sourced and divinely presented Sirloin beef exceeding expectations and Yorkshire pudding tasty. Best cauliflower cheese and red cabbage accompaniments I have tasted. Brownie dessert (I asked for a tiny portion) as wasn’t sure if I could manage much. Great wine and service.
