Peace and pampering for my 40th

Kit Mel London
Review Submitted: November 16, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2008
I celebrated my 40th birthday at The Manor House - it was a surprise my friends organised. So I couldn't quite believe it when we came up the long driveway - it certainly sets the tone! The setting was amazing, quiet and peaceful, and the house (along with owner Nicky) provided everything you want out of a weekend away. It was my first time away from my (18-month-old) son so I was given the master bedroom (lie ins and my own sunken bath, bliss)! But all the rooms were great. And downstairs there was enough to keep everyone happy. Lying by the fire, watching films, in and out of the hot tub and sauna. We went for long walks and even played tennis (depite being November). On the Saturday night, all 16 of us sat down for a huge dinner, and we had fireworks and did a bit of dancing. Very comfortable and relaxing with a WOW factor, we all left very happy. We still talk about it. My friend told me the other day it was the highlight of his year. So, a big success.

40th birthday weekend

AbiWE Oxfordshire
Review Submitted: October 30, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
A perfect venue for a 40th birthday weekend with a group of friends, without children. Fantastic facilities, the boys made use of the hot tub and sauna, the girls made use of the party room. We used the tennis court. It was an excellent venue. We had a black tie dinner arranged via the owner, which was a perfect way to celebrate. Although the pool is closed at this time of year, you can imagine that this is the perfect house for a summer weekend with a group of families and children, playing around the pool.

Celebration weekend

Old Bird Guildford, UK
Review Submitted: September 29, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
Holiday in the sun?I'd rather forget those airport delays, leave the queuing on the motorways to the rest of you and take a short half hour drive from where I live to this glorious location with a view beyond compare!! Who needs to battle for the poolside lounger when you have your own private one all arranged? We could not have chosen a better weekend for a gathering of friends and family. The sun shone all the time, the children were hardly out of the pool all day!! Even before the weekend began we could not have asked for more help with organising a party on the Saturday! Everything was fabulous, from the smart, crisp bedlinen to dealing with our shopping which was delivered before we arrived. Our weekend party was a huge success with everyone loving the house and wanting to come back as soon as we can all think of the next celebration!

five star break in wonderful setting

temporarylordsandladies esher, surrey
Review Submitted: August 13, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
This holiday was all we had hoped for, and everyone had a great time. We enjoyed all the facilities - fun in the pool, diving, tennis, croquet, relaxing in the hot tub and sauna outside, and the cinema downstairs. We loved barbecues by the pool or meals in the beautiful dining room, and never tired of the fantastic views! My son wanted to adopt the pigs and chickens, and our dog had the time of her life in the extensive grounds. We would definitely recommend this property to people of all ages, and would not hesitate to return ourselves.

A stunning house set in beautiful grounds set the scene for a wonderful relaxing break. The kind hospitality ensured my family & friends thoroughly enjoyed a few days at this gorgeous location, which we found very clean and fresh, child friendly, excellent swimming pool, hot tub & extensive grounds. The children found the animals delightful & we would highly recommend a stay here. We shall certainly be returning!
