What Our Guests Say About Us
This beautiful old house is full of character, had everything we needed and provided the perfect setting for our large family gathering for my mother's 80th. The beds are super comfortable, and it has a lovely lived in homely feeling. We were there in October and I was worried it would be chilly - I need not have worried - it was really cosy and warm. Loved all the bold wallpapers too. Thanks so much for a memorable weekend .

We were bowled over by Montgomery Manor. It's a big, beautiful, welcoming house that's full of history and character. It feels simultaneously grand and friendly, with lovely, unique furniture that suits it perfectly. Our group of ten had more than enough space to sit together around the gigantic log burner in the front sitting room, and to enjoy the fabulous red velvet sofas in the back. The panelled dining room is truly special, as is the kitchen with its huge stone fireplace and spiral staircase behind a door. Last but not least, every one of the bedrooms is beautiful, with large, comfortable beds that make it genuinely challenging to get up in the morning.

Montgomery Manor was perfect for our large family reunion. The garden space was fabulous, the hot tub was wonderful, the bedding, linens, and towels were all of the highest quality, and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was a charming place combining a rich history with modern amenities.
