Lewtrenchard Manor

Everything was excellent. The food, the staff and the hotel. We couldn't fault anything. The food was delicious and beautifully presented.

Had an afternoon tea for Mother's day, and it was lovely. Not the usual boring sandwiches, but interesting options and the best scones I've eaten in decades. Lovely atmosphere, excellent service and very sophisticated experience. Would thoroughly recommend if you want something special.

An amazing place, very welcoming staff and the afternoon tea was delicious, this was a Christmas gift but we'd definitely go again

Lovely place. We had tea there today. Beautiful old house. A must for a visit.

Very nice and friendly staff. The aftermoon tea was delicious and even the dogs were catered for. Well recommended.

We had afternoon tea here. The scones were absolutely scrumptious, the rest of the food sublime. A gorgeous setting for this iconic building, full of history and intrigue. All this as well as friendly, attentive staff and a nice relaxed atmosphere.

We had the afternoon tea which was absolutely delicious. The hotel is very comfortable with loads of history all in all a very nice day

Fit to burst! Superb afternoon tea and great hospitality. Beautiful surroundings. Well worth a visit.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Excellent comfortable room. wonderful food. Very beautiful setting. Staff very friendly and could not do enough for us.would definitely recommend this manor and will be staying again.

Big fan of this place it lovely if looking for that something special it's the place to go, top staff, top place and amazing food, just remember it's not pub grub.

Fully recommend Lewtrenchard Manor especially for their delightful Afternoon Tea. It's a beautiful Manor with stunning grounds in the quiet Countryside. Extremely peaceful and tranquil, it's a gem in the Countryside.

Wonderful place to while away the afternoon over a cream tea with family or friends. Felt safe and staff were very helpful. Lovely Jacobean Manor house and gardens as well to explore. Would recommend highly

Stayed there 2012 for a luxury weekend. Top suite. Fantastic food. Great atmosphere. What a wonderful Manor to relax in.

Absolutely fantastic 7 course tasting menu here! Portions were large and not what we were expecting, by the end of the meal we were most definitely full! The entire 7 courses are an absolute experience, with each course having a good amount of flavour and impeccable presentation. Food is freshly prepared and a lot of it is local, with a kitchen garden that supplies much of the meals!

Service is also incredibly good, with attentive but discreet staff. If going for the tasting menu, it's worth setting aside at least 3 hours. The tasting menu also offers a paired wine flight, with individual wines that match each course for a supplemental fee. The wine list is also very extensive, with something to suit everyone's taste. The main menu also looked very good, with a few options for each course. Would definitely recommend and will be returning here in the future.

This has to be some of the best food that we have enjoyed recentlybut the overall stay was not so good as expected. Dining at Lewtrenchard Manor cannot be faulted -this has to be the best in Devon surely? We had a room that was cold when we arrived, an electric heater did finally top the temperature up to acceptable. Beautiful views from all the windows, and country house period furnishings, but no luxuries in this very high priced room.

No fridge, no tea making facilities ( although complimentary tea in the room before breakfast) The Bathroom in dire need of refurbishment, a tiny bath that I could not lie down in, despite being under 5'5, and a general lack of attention to detail. The newest glossy magazine in the room was a year old, the rest being just free magazines from the likes of BMW.

The main hall also had nothing new to read, and when asking reception about something to read I was told to go and look in the other reception rooms myself. this also did not turn up anything to read! They new it was a birthday treat -but no mention, and not even a welcome card! The reception rooms all have open fires, but they have such big guards across them, no real heat escapes into the rooms, and of course takes away the atmospere! We would possibly give it another try, but as it is all so pricey, ~I am not sure I would bother!

This is the epitome of Country house hotel. The staff cannot be more obliging and when there is a big function such as a wedding they bring in extra staff who are equally well trained. Their catchphrase seems to be That's not a problem and the food is exquisite. At a recent wedding the whole place was turned over to the families and guests with exclusivity meaning just that. Ok, so it can be expensive but quality and style come at a cost.

The decor seems to have been gathered from stately homes, the gardens are well maintained and worth a visit just for themselves. The added joy is the complete lack of mobile coverage which complements the atmosphere. Even the children's meals were special and they loved the idea of four poster beds and hidden treasures to seek out. Glorious, but then again I had one of the best weekends of my life!
