Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently highlight the Mansion House's spotlessly clean rooms and apartments, some even mentioning upgrades to outstanding, modern spaces with great bay views. The location is convenient for accessing the Spa and a pleasant walk to the beach, and directly opposite the entrance to the newly restored Italian gardens. Breakfast is another standout, with a varied selection and freshly cooked options drawing consistent praise; however, a few guests have noted that some rooms and shower rooms can feel a little cramped. The honesty bar is also well-stocked.

The breakfast was really good (especially the fresh fruit). The staff were friendly and efficient, attending to every need. The room was super clean and cozy with a super king size bed and provided water, tea, coffee, and biscuits.

The room size was smaller than expected.

Fantastic stay!

soft towels cooked breakfast honesty system

This hotel offered a clean and very comfortable stay! My room had large, soft towels and a face cloth. The breakfast was freshly cooked and very satisfying. I really appreciated the honesty box system for the bar in the lounge (very convenient).

The room decor seemed a tiny bit dated, and some of the furniture looked a bit worn.

The breakfast included cereals, pastries, yogurt, and fresh fruit. A selection of cooked breakfasts was available. Pancakes were even offered on one morning (especially delicious with fresh berries!).

Fantastic Stay with Really good Service

superb location cute staff wide variety

The hotel is in a superb location, close to local attractions. The staff was very cute and always ready to assist. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options , it included freshly cooked meals. I appreciated the beautiful garden area for relaxation.

The absence of an elevator was an issue for us , it made accessing upper floors difficult.
