What guests think

At Maes Manor Country Hotel, guests praise the scenic grounds and welcoming staff, but many find the dated rooms, weak showers, and uncomfortable mattresses challenging, and report mixed breakfast quality with delays and limited variety.

The historic building and gardens are widely admired, and the setting is peaceful with pleasant views, though a few found the location a bit inconvenient. Several reviews note hot rooms without fans or air conditioning, occasional noise from equipment or events, and maintenance issues alongside inconsistent cleanliness. Several dinners were praised, but restaurant or bar availability was occasionally limited or canceled during private functions. Expect characterful surroundings, basic rooms, and uneven service and dining.

Nice place for a wedding. Needs TLC. Very low shower power. More of a drizzle than a shower. Nice helpful staff. Very limited food option. But a good breakfast cooked to order.

The grounds of the Mae’s Manor are beautiful. The staff were friendly. The hotel itself is very dated and in need of new paint and furniture. Our shower had no pressure and some mold. The towels and sheets were nice and clean though.

We stayed 2 nights for a funeral. The first room we were given was filthy and the shower didn't work. Reception promptly gave us the keys to another room to see if that would suit us better, no apologies given, but obvious acceptance. 2nd room still dirty but not as dirty as the first and it had a shower that actually turned on (a trickle - but better than nothing!), we had just driven over 7 hours to get here to accepted the room. The whole manor and coach house is dated but holds great potential, all serving and bar staff were fabulous and friendly, and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. A huge positive was the food at dinner. IT. WAS. FANTASTIC! Well done to the chef for dinner Sunday 25th September 2022.

Waited 20 mins at an empty reception desk whilst the receptionist did a pitch to potential wedding guests. The room, number 30 in the coach house was terrible. Cigarette burns all over the carper the bed was older than me its was a terribly hot day and the room had no fan or air con. When asked about dinner plans all they had to offer was a roast dinner on a 30 degrees day. So ended up going out to a local restaurant for dinner The coach house resembles a haunted house. The venue is old tired and need renovation even the electrics are done to a cheap standard with trunking all over the walls, worst hotel ive stayed in 10 years

The staff were lovely and very helpful but the Manor itself was very dated, the wallpaper was peeling, carpet coming up. Could feel the springs in the bed. Also, there was a leak in the shower so we were asked not to use it. Lastly, the breakfast was not great, the bread was mouldy so could not have toast.

Beautiful location, we had booked room 19 however this needs a total refurbishment. Paint peeling, holes in floor tiles, dirty running water in the bath, basin taps moved if you turned them, TV crooked on the wall. The Breakfast was poor. Food had been left out for a long time so was cold. Not much choice although the the staff did replace what you wanted. The hotel and it's lawn/garden areas needs to be revamped as could be a stunning location for weddings, staff were helpful but the condition of the hotel was disappointing.

When I arrived no one on reception took me ten mins to find a member of staff who only worked on tge bar and couldn’t help me locate tge recption team member I then had to spend yet another ten minutes wandering tge tge ground floor of hotel to finally bump into another bar member at a different bar who new where tge person was and went to get him the it took 10 mins to fill in the documents and received key after having to pay for extras. I was now in a rush to get to my job on time which put extra stress and pressure on me. Then when got back after work got to room it was like a boiler room far too hot uncomfortable. Opened windows but then was too noisy from the stranglers of the wedding guests still outside. The bed and pillows well if you could call them pillow s that is awesome bed felt ok sleeping on a rock. Got woken up at 645 due to loud fans I presumed from the kitchen extractors. Shower barley worked was like a trickle of water. The best bit of the whole stay way the breakfast which I had to pay extra for

No staff on reception desk when we arrived, waited 20-30 minutes before getting room keys. Booked the ‘midweek roast’ for Wednesday evening to be told that they had an apron that evening too. Staff checked with the chef and we were told that we could have the roast between 6pm and 7.30pm, we booked the 6.30 slot - then on the Wednesday evening (6.20pm) we were informed that the chef wasn’t doing the roast due to the prom. Leaving us to find last minute alternative eating arrangements. Also every time we tried to use the bar in the evenings, there were no staff present causing a 20 minute wait o be served. Will not be going back!
