“See above”
We were expecting to stay in the Manor House. We were given an ordinary motel room, nothing special about the room. We were extremely disappointed as we were the only guests staying that night.

“A luxury stay in Christchurch”
The location was perfect after staying at St. George's as a patient. I needed an extra day to get over surgery, but not at a hospital level care. Booking the room was a last minute decision. I asked the earliest I could check in & was told as soon as I was discharged from hospital. Karen phoned me directly to let me know. Having another 24 hours in a peaceful beautiful place definitely helped me manage a long drive home. The Peacock Suite was a perfect room for me. The comfy bed & pillows enabled me to have a good nights rest. Karen was a lovely host & nothing seemed too much trouble. Definitely a place to stay again in Christchurch.

The room which we had in the manor for 2 nights was too. small. It was hard to get past the mantle piece when getting out of bed and also. tricky to set up the ironing board. The table was very small also. We enjoyed spending the last night across the road in the unit.

“Just book!”
Stunning historical house. Wayne and his wife are lovely people who make you feel at home. Perfect location for both city center and parks (at least for those who love a walk) Or you can house the bikes available for the hosts . On the other side of the street an excellent bakery and breakfast.
