Lympstone Manor Hotel Restaurant & Vineyard - Relais & Chateaux

Beautiful hotel with wonderful staff

Sadly we were disappointed. The hotel is hugely over-priced for what it is and lacked atmosphere. We sat for drinks in the bar before dinner and no fires were lit and the dining room itself was freezing. The building itself is beautiful but the cheap carpets and garish modern art inside really let it down and don’t do justice to its history (of which there is no mention). It just feels impersonal and doesn’t hug you like it should. £199 a head for dinner is extortionate and the food was so rich; I left my starter after one bite but there was no query from the staff re whether everything was alright. We paid pushing £1k for one night away and I can’t help thinking that we would have had a better time at our local pub.

Everything from our arrival, the room, the grounds, the staff and of course the food were all exceptional. Definitely a special place.

Stayed for a few days. Beautiful location. Service from all was excellent. First class food… great experience in the restaurant. Recommended. Lovely room, very comfortable. Vineyard tour well worth doing. We had a great time

Great views and comfortable rooms. Amazing service!
