Christmas Day swim

Rather them than me – this year’s Exmouth Beach Christmas Day swim was incredibly well attended. Literally hundreds of hardy locals and visitors dressed up to take part in the traditional dip. It happened to be a chilly, overcast and very windy day but even that didn’t put the damper on proceedings. Sorry i couldn’t make it to join in this year. I had a long standing commitment with a turkey and some sprouts.

Ready to take the plunge
Happy swimmers
They seem very keen
Second thoughts?
Community spirit
Three beauties
Local mermaids
So many Santas
Piper on the beach

Note to self: be just a little too busy every Christmas Day in order to avoid feeling guilty at not having taken part.

What a great place!
I had the most enjoyable weekend staying at this wonderful family-run hotel. The staff are all incredibly friendly, it was immaculately clean and the interior is beautiful and very authentic with an amazing bar. The food was cooked to perfection and with some great wines to pair who can complain? It’s also only located a 5 minute walk away from the sandy beach beaches of exmouth which are great for water sports as well as soaking up some sun (when it’s out).

10/10 would recommend.

Lovely friendly stay
We stayed here two nights and had a lovely time. We made use of the paid parking space which was very helpful as the on street parking was full. We had a sea view room which was lovely in the sun and the rain. The room was spacious and clean, but the bed was a bit hard for us. COVID precautions were clear and we felt safe around the whole hotel. We made use of the bar and we felt drinks were very reasonably priced. The bar man was very friendly along with the rest of the staff. We had dinner one night which was good, plenty of options for a fussy eater! The breakfast was also great, we really enjoyed the sausages.
Overall we had a great time.

Well worth a visit
We stayed for 5 nights at the Manor Hotel during the Covid crises and we were made extremely welcome, were well looked after and felt safe at all times. The Hotel was extremely careful about ensuring all correct procedures were followed but at the same time ensured it didn’t effect our stay too much.
The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful we had a lovely room overlooking the seafront and the decor was exceptional.

We are very happy to recommend a stay at the Manor Hotel to anyone who wants a relaxing enjoyable time away.

Friendly, sea view but hard bed
Arrived to a friendly welcome. Good start! We had upgraded to a Lovely room over looking the sea.
A few little coffee shops still open.
Great drinks and atmosphere at reasonable prices in the bar.
After a very uncomfortable night in our huge but rock hard bed, we went for breakfast. Utterly fab cooked breakfast !!!

Caught train to Exeter afterward for a spot of shopping. Lovely city!
Only £5.25 return

Great stay but with the beds so hard I wouldn’t return sadly.

Car parking is an extra £10 per night advise to book in advance as only 5 or 6 spaces

Back to Exmouth
Our return visit to Exmouth did not disappoint and served to confirm that this was a good out of season destination with good scenery, good walks and a good selection of restaurants.

The Manor Hotel was a return visit and once again did not disappoint. All the staff, including the owners, were very friendly and helpful. Check in and check out was very efficient and on arrival, all guests were given a bottle of sanitiser for their personal use during their stay.

In spite of Covid restrictions everything which could be done was,only room service was excluded,but I was perfectly happy with that.

Lovely stay
We had a two night break at the Manor hotel. We were greeted by lovely friendly staff which continued throughout our stay. The room was a little small, spotless with a bonus seaveiw. Breakfast was excellent, served by a very pleasant waitress.

The hotel is homely and comfortable and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was large and comfortable with a very nice king-size double bed. The dining room and bar are large and well laid out to enable effective social distancing.

Amazing
First time visit to this hotel. We knew parking could be a bit of a problem but found a parking space directly outside the hotel. Staff very very efficient and friendly and we got our room key earlier than 2pm check in (which is a bonus). We were in room 26 which has a fantastic view of the estuary. Bar area was very welcoming and locally produced ale on draught was most enjoyable. We ate dinner on the first night, and I have to say my sirloin steak was unbelievable. My husband also enjoyed his meal. Breakfast on the last morning set us up for the trip home. Again, couldn’t find fault with anything. Choices were amazing, owners and staff were welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. I think if there had been a problem, we felt the staff were approachable and any niggles could have been rectified. Top marks all round.
