I had two different stays at St Michael's Manor Hotel and my experience was quite mixed. On one hand, the historic ambiance and charming grounds made it a lovely place to relax, and the staff were friendly and attentive. However, my room felt quite cramped, and there were some dining issues that I didn't expect at this price point. Overall, I enjoyed aspects of my stay but felt there were areas for improvement. 🌿🍽️

My stay at St Michael's Manor Hotel was quite the mixed bag. The ambiance of the historic hotel truly made my experience special, and the room was comfortable and quiet. However, I had a rocky start with an initial room that was far from deluxe due to noise and a poorly designed bathroom. Thankfully, after speaking with the manager, I was moved to a better room for the remainder of my stay.
