Findon Manor Hotel

Rooms are very light, huge windows, furnished traditionally as befits an old house. Happy with room facilities but more hangers, coat hooks and towel rail would be useful. Windows overlook a delightful village & spacious garden. Quirky building with uneven floors and steps up and down in doorways on first floor. Despite strong bannister in the stairwell, it proved difficult but not impossible for elderly family member. Prior to arrival we asked for him to have a walk in shower, this was accommodated without problem. We found all staff to be welcoming, professional and friendly yet not intrusive. My slight niggles, water pressure very low so difficult to wash long hair and the pillows too puffy for my personal preference. A small housekeeping issue was dealt with immediately that I mentioned it. The restaurant was well laid out with very comfortable dining chairs and the food was fantastic on the short but well balanced menu. Ingredients were of the highest quality both for breakfast and evening meals, cooked to perfection and presented as if entering a competition. We had three different chefs during our stay and they were all wonderful. I would however single out the chef who cooked my lamb on the first night. This talented lady, barely out of her teen years, was exceptional for one so young. The balance of flavours, texture and colours on the plates was extraordinary. She has an artistic eye for presentation, her culinary skills faultless and the high point of our stay.
