林普斯通莊園酒店

We have been very lucky to stay at Lympstone Manor and have never been disappointed. We are always planning and looking forward to the next trip when we leave. Simply stunning all round - the service, the setting, the comfort and of course the cuisine!

Not a place I’d rate highly very disappointing. This was booked as surprise birthday present by my wife. The hotel and the rooms are amazing but as this is a foodie place this did not live up to expectations. We ordered a cod main in the pool house restaurant but what came was far from good quality fish this had a blood line running throw both our main courses. We asked the waiter to check with the kitchen that this was not right, and this was brought back to us with the waiter to say its fine and it won’t kill us! Not what you’d expect from a 5-star hotel. We had some of the cod but did not finish it as it was not very appetising. Due to this my wife then fell sick in the night from having the fish. My wife then had a questioner sent to her she filled this out explaining what a disappointment the meal was. This was filled out a few weeks ago and she had no acknowledgment back from the hotel that is why I’m putting this on here as we didn’t have a very good experience. Plus, some of the staff not all need to be a bit more customer friendly. Not a great experience. We won’t be going back.

We have had the opportunity to visit and stay at Michael Caines' Lympstone Manor on numerous occasions and it never disappoints. From first driving up the gravel driveway, as it opens up to views of the Manor house and the vineyards overlooking the Exe estuary, you know you are visiting somewhere quite special. The staff are immediately on hand to greet you warmly, making sure that from the moment you arrive until when you leave, everything is just perfect and nothing is too much trouble. What makes the Lympstone Manor experience unique and even more special is that Chef Petron and Owner, Michael Caines, is personally on hand and keen to make sure you enjoy the experience. Working with his talented team which includes Head Chef, Jordan Denning, Michael's tasting menu is an imaginatively created visual display of seasonal local produce that is simply divine. As well as two seasonal tasting menus, there is also the choice of an a la carte selection, and all accompanied with an amazing selection of wines or flight of wines - including wines from the Lympstone Manor estate. Michael is clearly extremely passionate about his food, his wine and Lympstone Manor, and we can't wait to go back!

We had an really lovely set birthday meal for my mum here. Food was gorgeous. Had a walk around afterwards & the garden is nice. Pool bar area looks nice aswell although didn't go in. Would definitely go back. We saw Michael Caine after the meal.

From the minute you arrive at reception, Lympstone Manor is just incredible. It's 24 hours that feels like a two week luxury holiday. The tasting menu always amazes, but somehow this time it was even better, truly amazing, we loved every dish!! Our room was lovely, the complimentary gin very nice, and the bed was very comfortable. Service throughout our stay was, as always, brilliant. All of the staff are incredible and could not be any nicer. A welcome greeting from Michael Caines himself was a fantastic surprise. Lunch on Saturday at the Pool House was also very, very good - wish it was nearer to where we live so we could eat there every week. I tell everyone that Lympstone Manor is my favourite hotel and has the best tasting menu in the world (why only one Michelin star???) and every time we go it is better than last time. Can't wait to go again. Thank you to everyone involved for all the hard work to make everything so perfect.

On a day when the stair-rod rain and chilling mist penetrated even the hardiest souls, we needed comfort and inspiration to make a success of our Valentine’s Day lunch. Fortunately we were headed to Michael Caines’ Lympstone Manor. Our reward was another outstanding meal, perhaps our most enjoyable yet, at this gem of a venue perched above the Exe valley in the rolling Devon countryside. Four immaculate courses, the highlight being an outrageously succulent Beef Wellington with an immaculate supporting cast of a much needed warming curried carrot soup, a beetroot gravalax melange, and a choice of eye-candy finales, one of which, my chocolate and orange mousse, redefined dessert indulgence. Should anyone reading this remain oblivious to the joy that awaits at Lympstone I can only suggest you rectify this omission asap. Well done, once more, and congrats to Michael and the team.
