"Breakfast was excellent. , lots of choice. Rooms spacious and clean. Not happy and to pay for the parking as thought would be in the cost of the hotel"

Hanbury Manor Marriott Hotel & Country Club

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is an excellent choice for families. The rooms are spacious, the staff consistently polite, and the food quality is outstanding. The leisure facilities — including the swimming pool, sauna, and jacuzzi — are well maintained and very enjoyable. As a family travelling with an autistic 9‑year‑old, we found the environment exceptionally calming. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options, and the staff were extremely understanding, thoughtfully seating us in a quiet area to ensure a comfortable experience. We had a genuinely positive stay and would happily return."
