This one of the nicest stays I've ever…

This one of the nicest stays I've ever had. I'm a frequent traveller.
The hotel was stunning and set an a beautiful location. It was peaceful, clean and cozy. The facilities were excellent. The food was amazing. I could continue but to top it all off, EVERY member of staff was attentive and caring. They made us feel like we were special.

Thank you to everyone for making our stay so special.

Smooth and Efficient

Initial contact by phone resulted in a quote via email for my specific requirements. Following receipt of this email I then went ahead and booked online, which was smooth and efficient. I’m now looking forward to my stay, which will be the ultimate test.

Very disappointing service

You only see the difference between a good and bad organization when you call in. We have had a very bad experience with Country Hotel Breaks. We made a booking through this organization for 4 nights in Lewtrenchard Manor, which is a beautiful hotel with an excellent service. For good reasons we were unable to use the last 2 nights of our reservation. We have communicated this by email 48 hours before the start of these 2 nights. This was no problem for the hotel and would not charge the costs. Counrty Hotel Breaks was in no way prepared to help find a solution and charged everything for the full 4 nights. Our advice, Country Hotel Breaks is a great site to orientate yourself, but definitely do not make a booking through them, but directly with the hotel.

Reply from Country Hotel Breaks

We are very disappointed to receive a 1 star review, which is not deserved at all. You have also posted this review to other review platforms.

The cancellation policy is clearly advised at the time of making a booking and before you make any payment, you even have to tick a box to confirm you are happy to proceed under the cancellation terms, otherwise you are unable to go any further with completing the booking. Your booking confirmation also states the cancellation policy which is sent to you straight after a booking is completed.

You emailed us late on the day of arrival stating that you wanted to cancel the last 2 nights of your stay due to having a lunch reservation. We advised that within 48 hours of arrival, as per the cancellation terms you agreed to, the booking is non refundable. Within 48 hours of arrival, means within 48 hours of your arrival date and when we were emailed you were at the hotel.

We have been operating for 20 years and we are glad to say we have many very happy, returning customers.

Sorted!

Online information all we needed to select hotel, room types and dates. Booking terms straightforward, and payment processed swiftly.

Booking was easy, but no twin beds

Booking was easy, all the information about location, photos and prices were there to pick.
Availability was easily visible.
There is only one thing, I have missed. None of the stays offer twin beds, which is my and my partners preferred way of sleeping.
