Trenython Manor

Great cottage, had everything we needed for our stay. Would definitely book again.

Service was excellent especially with the young ladies in the restaurant. Breakfast and evening Food was very good.

booked this hotel for our 46th wedding anniversary after seeing the write ups on the quality of the food and hotel. The hotel write up says “wake up to sea views and a hearty breakfast included on both mornings of your stay, tuck into the continental buffet or order cooked items from the menu, will it be full Cornish or eggs Benedict? Our talented chefs will create a three course dinner for you to enjoy in the intimate oak panelled Dakota restaurant also included in one night of your stay expect delicious dishes where local and seasonal ingredients shine” I must point out that this hotel was taken over in September 2024 and I think most of the information on their website is related to the previous owners the delicious food was not forthcoming we had booked that romantic weekend which included rose petals in the room, chocolate bottle of Bubbly & breakfast on both nights with three course dinner on 1st night The breakfast was most disappointing I've never seen such a bland looking full English in all my life as per the photograph and it was all cold and I ordered it with the eggs poached to be on toast so the yoke would seep into the toast and my wife ordered egg Benedict, both our eggs came up solid! The evening meal which again nothing related to previous write ups on the hotel. The main courses on offer were pasta arrabiata, sirloin steak but that was an additional £10, duck with noodles and hoisin sauce, cheeseburger and fish and chips. The duck and noodles came up with a duck leg on top! Whenever I've had that in any other high class restaurants the duck always comes up shredded in the noodles not dumped on the top. The waitress we had who's now gone off to Bali was outstanding, the maitre-d' for breakfast and in general I must say was very poor. While staying you could NOT run up a TAB! Every time we ordered a beer, wine or anything you have to pay at time of ordering.

This hotel is set in an amazing-looking building, tucked away from the busy town. We stayed on the top floor in a clean, spacious room with a small window that let in fresh air and revealed a beautiful view. As it was warm upstairs, we kept the window open and used the multi-purpose fan provided. The grounds are lovely to walk around, the restaurant has stunning décor, and the food and service were both excellent — impressive given there was just one person serving at the time. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.

You will find the hotel just as beautiful as the pictures in fact I would say it’s actually more beautiful, the staff are so friendly and helpful. 10/10 This is where the lets itself down. 1) The hotel pool, you can only go and use the swimming pool for an hour and only if you have booked, they will ask you to leave exactly after an hour even though you are the only person in the swimming pool, I was really, disappointed. 2) The internet if you’re here and you want to catch up on work you cannot really use the Internet within the rooms. You have to go downstairs to the main lobby area very poor signal within the rooms. 3) Even though they knew that they had an issue with the pipes within the bathroom, i.e. major issues with brown water coming through into the bath. I was here from Thursday until Sunday. I informed them on my first evening that the bath was running dark brown water, and again on Thursday and again Friday and again on Saturday, the GM did apology but that was all. for me while I’m on holiday its important to be able to have a bath to relax, which I could not have. Even though the GM apologised not really what I wanted to hear. I think they could’ve handled it better and this is not from the staff, they were great, this is the GM of this hotel. Poor

This review is about the HOTEL and hotel ROOM we stayed in only - the lodge in the hotel grounds we were moved to after 2 hideous nights was fabulous - clean, fresh and fully equipped (and we had no complaints either about the scaffolding which entirely covered the Manor House building but only showed that some external maintenance at least was underway) So, the room (which we were expected to stay a week in) ... was utterly shocking. When we'd signed up for our CLC Trial Membership we had been promised that we would have 5 holidays where the last thing we needed to worry about would be the standard of our accommodation, since we had purchased 5 weeks of ‘luxury accommodation’. Other CLC holidays have (or have almost) matched up to that promise, but the hotel room we were allocated at Trenython Manor would barely have passed muster as 2 star budget accommodation. After our first 2 nights there, when we’d hardly slept at all due to what sounded like someone banging a metal pipe on a dustbin lid every few seconds throughout the night (which on investigation turned out to be caused by a gate at the top of the scaffolding outside our room, which had been left open and was swinging to and fro in the high wind and constantly banging against the metal scaffolding), we'd asked at the hotel reception for a room change - and were moved to one of the aforementioned lodges for the rest of our stay. But the room ... well, there was absolutely no way we could have spent a week in that room – even without the disturbed sleep – because it was tiny, shabby, ill-equipped and very, very dirty as evidenced by the attached photographs. IF you need to stay in the area be sure to book a LODGE rather than a room!
