After booking the wedding venue over 12 months ago, we were a little apprehensive when things went quiet after the hotel was sold. With new owners from January, Elise and the team pulled out all the stops for the big day and were extremely attentive and professional. Having the use of the manor to ourselves was perfect and we had lots of positive comments from guests from those travelling to those that knew Stanton from old. Elise especially helped the planning go smoothly and was happy to accommodate requests to change a few things. Ok some of the bedrooms and reception are looking a little tired, but the family owned hotel have worked hard to start renovations without disrupting the day to day running of the hotel. A big shout out too to Jordan for the amazing food he produced on the Friday night as well as the wedding breakfast. We will certainly be back for Sunday lunch in the near future and I would definitely recommend anyone planning a wedding to look at this venue.

Lovely hotel, polite and friendly staff, ample parking, excellent location in the heart of town. Only negative is the stains on the bathroom walls that could easily be removed with a little more attention to detail and the cold tap hardly let out any water. Unfortunately there wasn't any real ale available whilst we were there thus stopping us from enjoying that facility.

Great owner and enviroment

Booked 10 minutes before we arrived here after being let down by Pettifers, Crudwell (see separate review). Landlady was very welcoming and helped my husband when she saw him struggling to walk across the carpark. We had a room in the courtyard which meant no stairs and the shower was a large walk in so excellent for us. The bed was very comfortable and there was all we needed in the room. Enough space to walk around and a dressing table with a chair and mirror where I could do my hair as a plug was nearby. The entrance way to the carpark is a little tight but after the first time you get used to it and there was a large transit van which had managed fine. There were painters there who were so nice and guided me through. At the end of the carpark is a terrace with great countryside side views and as the weather was lovely we spent quite a bit of time there. The 2 lads in the bar were a credit to the place as they were friendly and helpful. Would defiantly recommend.

Our 4th visit for lunch. Standards appear to be slipping. We were seated in a lounge room for lunch, when we had explicitly booked to eat in the dining room/ restaurant.Our booking details were not checked on arrival. We were seated in one of the “Lounge” areas, and waited 15 minutes before we were asked if we would like a drink. After ordering 3 glasses of sherry, after 10 minutes, we were informed that there was no sherry. The low lounge coffee-style table was then provided with cutlery in the style of the expectation of a “Bar” snack. We explained that we had booked for a formal lunch in the dining room. The food was superb - no complaints here - but the staff appeared to be inexperienced, and the standard of service was well below par. After recommending the hotel to many friends, we were most disappointed by our experience on September 11, and as a result we shall not return; neither shall we recommend the hotel in the future. What a pity, we previously thought we had found the ideal place for a perfect lunch.
