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

The staff were very welcoming, the service was great, food was amazing and our room was very nice, warm, the bed was very comfy.we stayed with the midweek getaway, which coincidentally was our 25th wedding Anniversary we were shown to our room which was lovely then over to the bar where we were given a glass of prosecco on arrival, we had a couple of drinks in the bar before being show to the restaurant when we had a delicious Two course meal, very simple breakfast of poached eggs in the morning but again very tasty, they make their own bread too, first time visit, will definitely go 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...

Our room was spacious, warm and very comfortable. We slept very well. We had dinner at the restaurant on both nights which was superb. The food was of the highest quality and beautifully presented. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming.

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.

Gorgeous place, with a lovely room! We went on a cook and stay course as a gift from family and had a great time, would really recommend as a gift for others or a treat for yourself. Tracey was really helpful when we needed to check in late. Thank you Eckington Manor!
