Pengethley Manor Hotel  

We enjoyed everything about our stay at Pengethley Manor. The staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful. Our room was beautiful, with large four poster bed and splendid views across the country side. We ate two nights in the hotel and the food was excellent. Breakfasts were delicious and plentiful and so well presented too, really set us up for the day! There is a great walk from the hotel down to the old church then up around the top. A great relaxing haven and would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone. We shall be back! Thanks to all at Pengethley for making our stay really special.

Location, staff good food.

Requires updating

This was our third stay at Pengethley and we love it. The staff are friendly and helpful and sociable. The hotel grounds is in a stunning location with well-kept gardensand flanked by some superb national trust walks and countryside. It has a very welcoming and comfortable atmosphere and I have always felt very much at home in all rooms including the dining room where, it can, in some hotels be overwhelmingly formal.Pengethley manages to raise above this, without losing any of the professionalism, and have always put us at our ease. It's a bit like home-from-home.

The hotel is tired looking and although I think that adds to its charm there is evidence of the need for some definite updating. On this visit, the shower did not work and some of the wall sockets and light switches did not work In all the rooms I stayed in, the hairdryers were ineffective. The quality of our meals was a bit hit and miss. We had a poorly put together breakfast with a very underdone (4 minute!)boiled egg and equally underdone fried egg. Our croisant was overcooked and so hard it was inedible. Surely the chef would have noticed this before delivering it to the table. The milk was tainted by something it had been kept in the fridge with on all three of our morning breakfasts. We brought a dog with us This was in my orginal request and passed on to Pengethley manor and also mentioned in an email sent to them by Booking.Com (I received a copy) but when I phoned I was told I was in the main house which does not allow dogs. If the hotel was full, this would have caused us a last minute serious accommodation problem . .

Small Friendly, great location, great food

Looking a little tired, need some money spent on it before it costs a lot

Very friendly staff. Great location and a stunning Georgian Manor with lots of antique furniture and paintings etc. amazing views from the hotel across expansive countryside.

The bed was very uncomfortable, the breakfast was just ok, but nothing special. We were originally put into the converted stable block which was in in need of updating, we were put into the main house when we asked if this was possible, but I would have been extremely disappointed had the hotel been full and we would have had to stay in the annex with no view.

We had an enjoyable stay at the manor,room was very comfortable,evening meal was excellent,great menu. Wonderful chiming grandfather clock in reception.

Pretty rubbish bar!

Lovely quite country location where the staff do their best for you

The place is tired.The owner is not on site and it is a shame that such a beautiful country house is not brought up to its potential.Having said that the staff do their best to look after you.It is clean and tidy but my room in the annexe clearly has not been decorated in a very long time.

If you like old world charm and old house to go with it, this is for you. We loved the atmosphere, creaky floorboards, high ceilings, ancient decor, few antiques where needed, spacious dining room, excellent staff, service and food. We stayed in the main house so cannot comment on the other accommodation. The 30acre grounds lulled you into a morning or evening stroll.

Friendly, convenient, reasonably priced, warm, well-situated, quiet, comfortable.

It was exactly as described during booking procedure. Quiet location. Excellent facilities. Polite staff. Fantastic food.

Been there before but in summer. Then, I liked the location, the food, the staff and the elegance. But not this time. It is a hotel for a relaxing fine weather break, not for a winter overnight visit. I did like the half price room charge, which is why I chose it. You get what you pay for.

Room was freezing cold. They put an electric heater in while I was at dinner but didnt switch it on, so still cold at bed time. The hotel is old and tired. The only staff I saw were reception, who also served at the bar and stoked the fire, and the waiter who was surly, never spoke to us, even when he served at dinner. The evening meal was expensive at £20 for a poor quality offering. The light in the en suite bathroom was not working. You said do not complain, so I am just telling you what I didnt like about it, but I was expecting more for a hotel of the reputation that I remembered. My Sat Nav would not recognise the post code so I had difficulty in finding it in the dark. Reception said others had made the same comment.They had not done anything about it.

Very friendly and efficient staff, wonderful countryside location

Good value for money, lovely location. Spa bath, four poster beds in rooms that had style.
