We visited The Manor for a two night weekend stay.  We were very warmly welcomed and stayed in Room 4.  Lovely view of the garden and the room did not disappoint.  Very spacious, an extra large comfy bed.  Tea and coffee making facilities, along with toiletries and soft white fluffy towels.  Plenty of storage.  We had dinner in the restaurant which was delicious.  The breakfast has a simple menu but again very well cooked and the service we received was second to none.  We will definitely visit again.

Delightful Hotel

We decided to take an unplanned trip to the Lymington area, and were very pleased to be able to book into this hotel at the last minute - they only had one room left for a Saturday night.  The hotel owner was very welcoming to us.  The room was very nicely decorated and clean, with good quality bedding, although the pillows were clearly older and uncomfortable, and could do with replacing.  The room was on the first floor with lovely large windows providing views into the hotel gardens. 

The extractor in the bathroom, whilst turning on, was not working properly, and so showering resulted in a lot of steam/damp, even though we had the window open.  The walk in shower (which did not have a closing/sliding door) was positioned such that some of the water was running on to the wood floor and into the bedroom - I had to use a towel to dry the floors afterwards.  The water was also far too hot for showering - my partner had to adjust the screw fitting in the mixer tap, so that the hot/cold water mixed properly.  These are all issues which can be remedied easily enough with some regular checking and maintenance of rooms.

However, what did spoil our stay somewhat was the meal in the evening.  We had some drinks/cocktails beforehand.  The cocktails were not the best tasting, having had the same cocktails at other high end hotels.  The staff were inattentive during our meal, but the food itself - whilst clearly it was good ingredients, and freshly cooked, the chef had added copious amounts of salt.  And I am someone that likes to add seasoning to my food - I do not like it bland.  We both had different dishes for our mains from the menu - my partner's pasta based dish, along with most of the contents on my plate, including the vegetables, was virtually inedible.  We left most of the food as a result - the waiting staff did not appear to notice this or ask if we were unhappy with the food.

The breakfast in the morning was fine but I have had better - the staff again were rather inattentive, even though it was not hugely busy when we ordered, and we had to keep asking for things like toast (which came out late), and ketchup (which was not provided at the table).    

Could do better...

Characterful hotel with excellent service. We were on the top floor with a really comfortable bed in a stylish room with wonderful views. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We will definitely go again.

Relaxing mid week break in the heart of the New Forest.

This really is a fabulous hotel experience and without a corporate style reception or uniform in sight, it maintains a high standard of customer care from breakfast to after dinner drinks. The entire interior is beautifully designed with comfortable lounges, a formal but relaxed dining area and well appointed rooms. The first floor is pet friendly which is a huge bonus for us as the five acre, enclosed garden allows our dog to enjoy himself as much as we do before venturing out for the day. The breakfast menu has something for everyone's tastes and dinner has always been of a high standard, served by friendly staff who reflect the relaxed but professional ethos of the Manor at Sway.

Good times at The Manor at Sway

Stayed here for one night only and so glad we weren't staying longer. Room was adequate but bed a little short in length, we are only 5ft 6 and 5ft 9 so not too tall! Not particularly comfortable  either. Was expecting a superb breakfast, as advertised,  but found that lacking too. So would not recommend to anyone else, sadly.

Oh dear!

We wanted a weekend get away to relax and recharge, and The Manor at Sway did not disappoint. It is a lovely boutique  hotel, that has an elegant but relaxed feel, great decor. The staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed in a cosy loft room which was perfect for the weekend - clean and had everything we needed, along with a very comfortable bed. We ate in the hotel restaurant on the Friday night. The food was excellent and service was quick. Breakfast was also served in the hotel restaurant, it was nice to have table service rather than self-service and there was a good selection of options available. There is not a lot to do in Sway but its an easy drive to the coast and only a few minutes until you are in the heart of the New Forest. We would definitely recommend and revisit.

Lovely weekend away

The food and service is to die for, the venue is beautiful if a little quirky and the whole experience is totally joyful.

This is not the luxurious elegance of say The Jetty, but it is the place we have been to the most this year because the people and food is always totally amazing.

It's the place you choose because you love eating amazing food, and you come back beacuse you always feel well looked after

We cannot thank Tim, Helena and the team at the Manor enough for such a wonderful New Year’s Eve. The hospitality was exceptional as was the food and warm welcome. Our dog was thoroughly spoilt and enjoyed the beautiful garden and long walks accessible from the Manor into the New Forest. The room was fantastic - clean and spacious. Highly recommended - we will definitely be returning. This is a real gem in the heart of the New Forest and run by a great team who genuinely care about their guests.

A Wonderful New Year’s Eve at The Manor, Sway

We chose the Manor at Sway for a celebratory lunch for my husband’s birthday. There was a very welcoming ambiance when we arrived and the lounge/bar area for pre-lunch drinks was spacious and relaxing. We had the dining room to ourselves for the 16 of us. The staff were attentive and efficient, and the food first class. Each course was served all together, so no waiting 5 minutes for others on your table to be served. Tim, Helena and the team at the hotel certainly made this a very special occasion for us. Thank you everyone at the Manor at Sway.

A special lunch at the Manor at Sway

Visiting our daughter and her family this Xmas, we decided to stay overnight in the area rather than travel home in the dark and potentially dangerous driving conditions. 
In short, Premier Inn it ain't!  But the twin beds were super comfy, the room functional, shower excellent and the breakfast tasty and adequate.
