“Cosy atmosphere, warm service, good food - spot on!”
The owners were really welcoming and made sure we were well looked after. The building itself has lots of character, and our room overlooked a church where Jane Seymour was baptised, which was a real treat. The cooked breakfast was just what we needed after an early visit to

really pleasant and relaxing. We were made to feel very welcome and as if nothing was an effort. All our meals were deliciously fresh and cooked to order and our children were looked after really well. A fab location and great for all the local history. Highly recommended!
location is great, food was brilliant, rooms were very comfy and unique. It was nice to stay in location with character and history as opposed to the boring run of the mill hotels. Also wifi is free!
Accommodation 10 October 2011
Thank you for accommodating the family on the 10th October.
The dinner, accommodation and breakfast was superb and staying at the manor with all its history within is something special.

From the first welcome at the door, I felt relaxed and was delighted when shown to my room. At all times I felt at home, and found everything I needed for a comfortable stay. It was a shame that I could only stay for one night, as I slept better than I normally do, and enjoyed an excellent breakfast which prepared me well for a difficult day ahead.
Welcoming hosts, charming hotel in a quiet location, excellent facilities in the room and en suite. Excellent breakfast. Lovely gardens.
Would recommend to a friend
As good as ever!

We stayed at the manor this weekend for the third time, and still love it! We come every year and stay over before going horseriding at the White Horse Trekking Centre. Stayed October 2011, travelled as a couple
Delightful Hotel
We stayed for 4 nights and nothing was too much trouble for them. We had a lovely large room which was very clean. Being a Coeliac I have had problems with my diet in the past, Paula and Cyrille were extremely helpful doing their utmost to serve Gluten Free meals. Could not fault the breakfast. We had an evening meal every night and it was excellent. I even had Gluten Free biscuits in my room, a first for me. They and their staff were very hospitable and kind. Would certainly recommend.

Recently stayed at the manor and I can say that the greeting from the owner Paula was wonderful as we had a terrible trip so just wanted to relax and have a delicious meal cooked by paulas French husband. Best food in a bb we have ever had. Lovely location, comfy rooms and a warm welcome - what more can you want from a B&B.

Lovely welcoming hotel
Have just had a wonderful family get together weekend staying at the Manor, the young lady who greeted us was a delight, very helpful and friendly. One of our group is a wheelchair user and the staff couldn't have helped us more, they were very accommodating to our needs. Paula too showed us that nothing was too much trouble for them. We ate in the restaurant the first night and had the most enjoyable meal. The rooms were cleaned to a high standard with tea/coffee making facilities replenished every day. We would definitely return to the Manor for another stress free weekend.

We thought the hotel was lovely - large spacious room. Shame there wasn't one more armchair which there was space for as we like to sit in the room and had to use a small chair. Also the duvet was winter weight and too hot & heavy for summer, though the bed was comfortable. Slight shame that the dining and breakfast rooms were furnished in modern style rather than antique like the bedroom which was more in keeping with the building. Liked reading about the history of the Manor House in the information folder. Lovely food and very reasonable prices and lovely breakfast - it was great to choose exactly what you wanted. Would definitely stay here again if in that part of the country.
+Wonderful house and facilities; excellent food; very friendly;
Great option close to Stonehenge
My wife and I stayed here for a night, and loved the whole experience. The room was very comfortable, and the dinner and breakfast were excellent. A great option if you want to stay close to

We stayed here following our wedding, we book this back at the start of the year and were unaware of the change of ownership after our booking. Luckily we called to confirm everything as none of our previous arrangements had been passed over to the new owners, which meant that our agreed plans had to be changed. Our reply:
I’m glad you enjoyed your stay with us, and maybe because of the change of ownership, there was a mis-understanding over the arrangements. With us, if a guest requests any additional items for their room, ie, chocolates, strawberries or champagne, there is a charge for that item. Perhaps this wasn’t made clear, and if so, I apologise. We wish you both all the best for the future, and we’ll maybe see you back for your anniversary.

We stayed overnight at The Rollestone Manor to celebrate our daughter's Civil Partnership. There were ten of us in the party. Paula and Cyril were the most wonderful hosts and really spoiled us all, especially our Happy Couple. We had an excellent evening meal and even the dietary peculiarities of our young bridesmaid were cheerfully dealt with. This was probably the only time that poor Cyril even considered serving Heinz tomato soup from his splendid kitchen! Stayed August 2011, travelled with family
Dear Paula,
Many thanks for the lovely rooms we stayed in on Friday night ,you are doing a wonderful job with the Manor,wish we could have stayed longer.Thanks for the early breakfast.Regards The M's.
Myself and 2 colleagues stayed here on a Friday night and then returned on Monday for 4 nights, as we were mobilising our catering facility at tedworth house nearby. The rooms were very clean and the bed was extremely comfy ( I actually miss that bed! ) Stayed July 2011, travelled on business

Pleased us very well. The rooms were large and comfortable. The meal was very good 24/06/11
A quiet old country house with character.
Wasn't too sure what to expect. From the front it looked a little shabby but in truth when we got inside were pleasantly suprised. The rooms were of excellent size plenty of room and good bathroom/wc. Has a very nice meal in the restaurant and food was very good.
My partner and I spent a night there, it was a fantastic break.
The house is very imposing and historic, our room was the utmost luxury, fantasic quality and decor.
The owners are the nicest people, the husband and wife team do an excellent job. The evening meal we had was excellent and the husband (sorry cant recall his name) was very attentive.
All in all i dont think i could say enough nice things about this stay and the owners.
We stayed at The Manor for one night to break up a journey from the West Country back to London. A warm welcome awaited us. The reception rooms were all decorated for Christmas and were very inviting. Our room was beautiful, with a comfy bed and lovely crisp white sheets. Dinner at the Manor was excellent even if the menu is limited. Breakfast was also very good - a standard selection of cereals and yogurts and a great cooked breakfast. Will definitely recommend to friends.
We had a lovely weekend at The Manor - Paula and Cyrille gave us a very warm welcome. This was a birthday treat and it did not disapoint!! Laura - one of their staff, was very proffessional and could not do enough for us - an absolute gem!
Would go back tomorrow if we could!! The food was outstanding (we had dinner there on our first night). Breakfast was superb beautifully cooked and a lovely relaxed atmosphere made for a "home from home" atmosphere, although i don't have a four poster bed at home!!.
We were aware of the change of management before we arrived but were not disappointed at all! Paula was lovely and welcoming and accomodating throughout our stay - and the food was absolutely fantastic so I think that Paula and Cyril have done a fantastic job in maintaining equally high standards.
I read a lot of comments about the road on here. From our experiences the road really is not a problem - we were outside after dinner and it was silent and peaceful! Certainly compared to
The manor hotel certainly meets all of the above and the exceptionally friendly and helpful owners have made me feel very welcome. I have now stayed as a guest for several weeks and intend to continue Book in.

- Liked most of it except lack of another armchair in the room as mentioned above and there were a couple of spot stains on the carpet in the room - you could probably get these off with Vanish!

The Manor was very nice as we knew from previous visits here for Xmas dinners etc. We stayed in the room with the 4 poster bed and rol top bath. Slightly strange having the bath at the end of the bed, but a very comfortable room. We had a bottle of
Breakfast was good, you have to let the know what time you would like to eat the night before.
Everyone said their rooms were clean and comfortable - the showers are fantastic!
We all reconvened the next morning for a big family breakfast.
At no time were we made to feel we were a nuisance and all the staff gave us plenty of time to really celebrate our memorable occasion. We made a bit of a mess with table confetti and I offered to get the hoover out and clear it up, but Paula said it was proof that we had a good time and would not hear of it.
This hotel is an absolute gem!
Tea/coffee/biscuits and bottled water were provided daily in the rooms, along with shampoo/shower gel etc. The bathroom was fab and they were great power showers.
We ate there on one evening and it was delicious, I recommend the goats cheese starter.
Nothing was too much trouble for the owner Paula....... she got up early to make us an early breakfast so we could get on the road..... and stayed up late so we could have a chill out pint on our return! ( fantastic pint of Fosters!)
We would certainly stay here again, it was an absolute pleasure!
Thanks Paula !!
This was a lovely old house with some history to it and character, ideally located for visiting
The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. We had a double room with ensuite which was nicely sized, traditional furniture with a nice comfy bed. There was a good choice for breakfast, ranging from full English down to cereal and toast. It was good quality and nicely cooked. We did not have an evening meal at The Manor, a lack of planning on our part more so, but the restaurant looked very nice as did the menu and not overpriced.
Only two things to pick on for us, our shower head was faulty and wouldn’t stay in position. The staff did apologise without me pointing it out and explained that it was due to be replaced. Also, we found our room dusty, particularly the television and the windows. Nothing major.
In all we were quite happy and would stay at The Manor again.
Lady had just taken over the lease from a management company who ran it before for the owners of the property. Her personal touch showed, and though I can't rave over an old building for us it was an extremely peasant stay and would not hesitate to return.
Beware the main stairs to first floor, a little steep and rickety.
Staff extremely friendly and helpful.
I had a quick shower which was really powerful and most welcome.
The grounds and Gardens are lovely and go really well with a G&T!
The Full English Breakfast was first class and Hot.
I found out that Paula and her husband had only taken over The Manor 24hrs prior to my arrival - Bravo for a
