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.

Wonderful view
The hotel staff were all friendly and helpful, rooms were clean, beds comfortable and breakfast good. Our room had a wonderful view of the bay. We will definitely be returning, and will book in good time so we can reserve a parking space!

Very friendly hotel
We stayed here for 3 nights and were really impressed with the staff. It was like seeing old friends! They were very flexible and accommodating.
Alison was absolutely lovely, friendly and made our stay – we laughed with her every day!
Mickey made the best cocktails we’ve ever had (2 for 1 hour is a bonus!) He was knowledgeable and is clearly keen to further his bar/cocktail skills – we look forward to seeing them at our next stay!!
I didn’t get the lady’s name but I think she was the owner, she was very knowledgeable about the local area, restaurants and places to visit. She was happy and very welcoming when we first arrived.
The room was clean and tidy with lots of plug sockets, we stayed in a superior double at the front of the hotel, the view was lovely. There’s a square a very short walk away with restaurants, cafes, bars and shops. The beach is less than 5 minutes walk away. We also rented a bike from the nearby hire shop and did the Estruary Trail – a really lovely route!
Our only negatives would be the heat of the room, we were given a fan though and personally we like a softer mattress (but it would be impossible to please everyone’s mattress taste!)
The hotel has a storage garage and small car park, I’d recommend booking a space as soon as you can in advance, you can park for free on the road at the front but as it was a lovely bank holiday weekend, it took us 40 minutes to find one! Worth baring in mind if you have very young, or very old, passengers. Overall, we would definitely recommend The Manor Hotel.

One night
The staff were very helpful, the rooms were spotless, the bed was very comfotable. Breakfast was excellent. Parking wasnt a problem you can book a space and they do also have a overflow car park. There is also parking for free outside the hotel. Situated close to the marina, 10 minute walk. All in all a good find and we will return in the future

A Great Stay
This was our second visit to this Hotel and we were not disappointed. Throughout our stay of 5 nights , the staff were always helpful and welcoming. The present restrictions on Covid were really well dealt with and we felt very safe. Our room was comfortable and light with a lovely view to the sea. The restaurant is very well run and the ‘Full English’ was one of the best I have experienced. The bar is well stocked with a superb range of soft and alcoholic drinks. The Hotel is in a great location with easy access to the beach or town. Thank you to all for contributing so much to a great stay in Exmouth. Mike and Alison

Relaxing stay
From a warm reception on arrival and all the way through our 4 night stay at the Manor we had a fantastic stay. We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary that week and was surprised to find a note along with a bottle of wine courtesy of the hotel.
We’d definitely recommend a stay here, we’ll most certainly be returning. Many thanks to all staff and the boss 😊

Lovely hotel – perfect location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and the staff couldn’t do enough for the guests – a real home from home feel. Would certainly recommend this hotel which is well placed for the seafront, Manor gardens and the town all of which are a short walk away. One thing that we would advise is that if you need a taxi book in advance – we needed to get to the train station and the hotel tried numerous taxi firms without success. In the end a staff member gave us a lift to the train station which was very much appreciated! There is also a restaurant at this hotel BBQ 13 who serve breakfast -continental or good old full english- bar snacks throughout the day and an a la carte menu in the evening. We dined there each evening and the food was excellent. Would particularly recommend the triple meat Sunday roast which was excellent!

Just Perfect……great value and would highly recommend!
This hotel really delivered for us and it was abundantly clear as soon as we walked through the door the hotel was superbly run. The ladies on reception were so helpful, caring and welcoming.
Our room was clean comfortable and spacious (with a fabulous view) and the bar and restaurant areas (my full english breakfast was one of the best ever) contemporary with great vibes.
All the staff (including the often forgotton housekeeping) were trustworthy and super professional.
The hotel is in a great location for all amenities and we will return
Thank you Manor Hotel and all who made our stay so enjoyable!!!!
