A little piece of heaven in south Devon
This was our second stay at Orestone Manor.The first time we originally booked two nights but loved it so much we ended up staying for three.This time around we booked three nights thinking that this would give us our fix but still ended up booking an extra night.We just can't get enough of this place.
As soon as we walked through the door and meet one of the owners son's it was like we had only stayed last month , not two years earlier.
We had room 7 - where you can lie in bed and watch the sun rise over the sea- giving the whole room a golden glow.Truely an unforgettable experience.
One of my favourite things about room 7 is the beautiful roll top bath in the middle of the bathroom.
The food is fabulous and all of the staff chat and treat you like an old friend who has come round for dinner. we love to relax in the lounge after dinner on one of the comfy sofa's , where you can have your coffee and petite fors.
The night is rounded off with a cocktail from the bar.Expresso Martini - the perfect end to a perfect day.
We cannot rate a stay at Orestone manor highly enough and cannot wait to go back.
