We were warmly greeted when we arrived and the room was spacious and spotless. The manor is well situated on a bus route or a gentle stroll into Christchurch. We enjoyed 2 local restaurants and a day sightseeing. The guest laundry on site was really useful and the staff very efficient and friendly.
