The Haycock Manor Hotel

Based on the reviews received by this property, our expectations were high. But arriving after dark, the entrance to the car park isn’t particularly well signposted from the main road and unlit. The biggest disappointment, however, was the supposedly ‘deluxe’ room. At least £60 more expensive than the ‘classic’ double, it was uninspiring and not particularly well laid out. There wasn’t even a table for in-room dining. Having said that, we aren’t sure if they even really offer room service as there was no menu in the room. The rooms are supposedly ‘newly designed and decorated’ but both chairs were badly stained, the toilet holder was broken and there was black mould at the bottom of the shower screen. General cleanliness was good but with some surprising oversights (eg large cobwebs hanging from ceiling, toiletry dispensers covered in product from previous occupants). The good bits: shower, bed and bedding were excellent and dinner very tasty. Breakfast was underwhelming. Whilst the Eggs Benedict were lovely, the buffet offerings were decidedly meagre and the server had an attitude. Overall, we would have been rather unhappy if we had paid the going rate.

So nearly very good. The room was nice, modern and clean but cold. The in-room air conditioning / heating struggled to keep the room warm. The Christmas illuminations are lovely from the outside but not so much when they are keeping your room lit up all night, despite the best efforts of the curtains!

The staff at the Haycock were friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was excellent as was the ambience. I would love to return.

Excellent service from everyone I encountered - Lady on reception at check-in was polite, helpful and showed me to my room and explained the room functions etc Bar service for food and drinks in the evening was also excellent and I used the gym which was really good too.. Look forward to my next stay..

I brought my Mum to the Haycock for a birthday present, the service was fantastic we even had dinner which was lovely. The grounds are stunning and staff are extremely attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. Will definitely be returning. The only downside was breakfast, we were left waiting over 50 minutes for eggs royale and it was very quiet without a waiter/waitress to ask for the whereabouts, when we did find someone she apologised but they did loose our ticket with out breakfast order, luckily we weren’t rushing :)

The highlight of the hotel is the food, it is excellent. The hotel is beautiful with excellent design. Some practical things were overlooked for instance it is impossible to sit in front of a mirror to use the hair dryer.

My new favourite place to stay. Beautiful rooms, the best shower and very clean. Grounds are stunning.

I loved the restaurant for evening meal and breakfast. Staff all friendly and helpful. Only criticism is the rear car park. Both myself and my son who arrived separately found lack of signs meaning unsure where to park and entrance to reception

All good Will use again

Great hotel and quiet room with comfortable bed. Breakfast was excellent with freshly prepared food. Would like to stay here again.

Lovely old hotel with modern designs and furnishing. Rooms in converted outbuuldings across a courtyard. The felt cosy like small houses but a bit small

Lovely experience and spacious room.

We stayed for 1 night and had a really good experience. We had dinner in the restaurant and were really well looked after and the food was great as was breakfast which was included in our room rate. Very friendly and helpful staff. Thank you.

Excellent hotel, comfortable room and great breakfast.

I enjoyed my stay at your hotel. Great property. Lovely grounds. Nice room. I would have appreciated anet on my window. There were lots of flies in my roo.

A beautiful setting

We enjoyed our stay Excellent service. Would definitely recommend

We had an overnight stay at The Haycock on our way north. We chose this hotel as it was conveniently located just off the A1 in a small picturesque village. The hotel has been beautifully restored to a high standard and the attention to detail in the decor and service during our stay made for a very comfortable visit. Our meals were delicious and we loved that there were a variety of areas you could eat around the hotel including the beautiful gardens. We will definitely stay again.

Rooms well appointed. Great shower

Lovely hotel with old and new areas, safe large car park, dog friendly bar and breakfast room, except restaurant. Staff are very friendly and helpful, good food in bar, £6 a pint, other drinks are pricey, as is the breakfast if not included. Jazz playing as background music was tedious to my ears,..
